Biography
Lieselotte "Lotte" Berk (13 January 1913 – 4 November 2003) was a German-born dancer and teacher, who lived in England from 1938. In 1959, she developed her own method of exercise drawing on her passions for dance and music with the idea of giving non-dancers a dancer's body. In the 21st century, derivatives of her method are offered by gyms and studios as barre classes.
