---

Richard Bandler

Dr. Richard Bandler is the Co-Founder of the field of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. A distinguished visitor to Menninger’s Foundation, a Keynote Speaker for many Associations and Foundations. He has participated

---

at many grand rounds at teaching hospitals. He was an Associate Professor at UCSC and a Graduate Advisor

---

several corporations from Training and Consulting companies to a Research and Development company specializing

---

in Optics and Holographic Storage systems. Dr. Bandler has continued to improve and evolve the field of NLP

---

and gone on to develop other seminars as well, Design Human Engineering, Persuasion Engineering, Neuro-Hypnotic

---

Repatterning to name a few. He has been interviewed by a variety of magazines from Psychology Today to Newsweek.

---

Most major newspapers, TV Networks and Radio Stations around the world have interviewed him over the past

---

30+ years. Dr. Bandler, a mathematician, philosopher, modeler, teacher, artist and composer for four decades

---

has left a legacy of books, videos, audios, art, students and a body of knowledge that will change therapy,

---

education and medicine forever. He has hundreds of thousands of students and hundreds of licensed institutes

---

all over the world. Dr Bandler has made his mark and says he is just getting warmed up. His record of helping

---

patients who had been deemed incurable is unsurpassed. How inspirational is this Guru?

---

John Grinder

---

John Grinder now refers to the original NLP modelling projects as Classic Code NLP; his more recent work is

---

called New Code NLP. John Grinder initiated The New Code originally with Judith Delozier and more recently

---

with Carmen Bostic St Clair. The New Code streamlines and brings significant enhancements to the now thirty

---

year old Classic Code. John and Carmen deliver a full schedule of New Code NLP-based seminars around the world.

---

John and Carmen teamed up with Michael Carroll of the NLP Academy UK to launch the International Trainers

---

Academy of NLP (ITANLP). The purpose of the ITANLP is to bring some of the standards that John, Carmen and

---

Michael have integrated into their own work to the general NLP community. John, Carmen and Michael lead an

---

annual Trainers Training to a worldwide audience training new NLP trainers to the highest standards. The Grinder,

---

Bostic, Carroll training is rigorous and all who qualify can become members of the ITANLP. How inspirational is this Guru?

---

Derren Brown

---

Although Derren Brown is most famous for his fascinating television shows broadcast in the UK, he has a solid

---

reputation for his unequaled development of NLP and hypnosis. In fact, Derren’s effortless demonstration of NLP

---

to manipulate the thoughts of his guest stars was what got me interested in NLP in the first place! Derren Brown

---

actually has a flexible view of NLP which is similar to my own. Rather than adhering to rigid methods set out by

---

NLP’s original creators, Derren uses wordplay that works well and has adapted a lot of NLP techniques to make

---

them work a bit more seamlessly. It is for this reason that Derren’s methods are my chosen schema for the

---

techniques on this website. They work the best. It’s as simple as that. How inspirational is this Guru?

---

John La Valle

---

John La Valle One of the World’s most respected corporate consultants and the co-author of ‘Persuasion

---

Engineering’ with Richard Bandler.”When I first became interested in NLP, it was quite by accident. I came

---

across a one day basic introduction program and was wowed in the first hour. As soon as I could, I attended

---

my first Practitioner program. I quickly figured how best to adapt the technology of NLP into business

---

applications. Since then, I have personally trained with most of the ‘major players’ in the field in the 1980’s.

---

I met Richard Bandler early in my training and his attitude and skill appealed to me. He could get results!

---

Being a bottom line business person, I liked that! No fluff, no theories, just get down to it and change!

---

I liked it. What I found most interesting was the fact that I could get results in the business arena.

---

I am still in contact with a lot of my corporate clients across the globe, many of whom have seen their

---

business multiply year after year. They still bring me in for ‘tune-ups’ from time to time. They hire better

---

people, promote the right ones, train differently and even manage differently. Ultimately they lower their

---

costs and increase profits. That’s the bottom line! People have asked me what the turning point was for me

---

in my own training. Well the first thing was the moment I realized that it’s not just enough to want, but

---

then to do. Stepping across that line and just going for it! The second was realizing how powerful language

---

is and how easily we can change behaviour using just language. How inspirational is this Guru?

---

Аннотация

Танец является универсальным поведение человека, наблюдаемым в частности в контекстах ухаживания, и предоставляющим информацию, которая может оказаться полезной для потенциальных партнеров. В этой работе мы используем подход ориентированный на данные, чтобы точно определить движения, которые отличают качества женского танца. Используя 3D-захват движения мы записали женщин, пока они танцевали базовый ритм. Видео клипы 39 результирующих аватар были оценены по качеству танца, и эти оценки были сравнены с количественными измерениями паттернов движений используя многоуровневые модели. Три типа движения независимо друг от друга способствовали высокому качеству женского танца: более широкое покачивание бёдрами, более асимметричные движения бёдер, а также промежуточные уровни асимметричных движений рук. Покачивание бёдрами это черта, которая идентифицирует женские движения, а возможность перемещения конечностей асимметрично (то есть независимо друг от друга) могут свидетельствовать о хорошо развитом управлении движением, при условии, что эта независимость конечностей не переходит в неконтролируемые патологические движения. Мы также обнаружили, что тот же самый уровень качества танца можно предсказать различными комбинациями признаков танца. Наша работа открывает пути для изучения функциональной значимости, информационное содержание, и временную последовательность различных типов движения в танце.

Optimal asymmetry and other motion parameters that characterise high-quality female dance

---

Abstract

---

Dance is a universal human behaviour that is observed particularly in courtship contexts, and that provides information that could be useful to potential partners. Here, we use a data-driven approach to pinpoint the movements that discriminate female dance quality. Using 3D motion-capture we recorded women whilst they danced to a basic rhythm. Video clips of 39 resultant avatars were rated for dance quality, and those ratings were compared to quantitative measurements of the movement patterns using multi-level models. Three types of movement contributed independently to high-quality female dance: greater hip swing, more asymmetric movements of the thighs, and intermediate levels of asymmetric movements of the arms. Hip swing is a trait that identifies female movement, and the ability to move limbs asymmetrically (i.e. independently of the other) may attest to well-developed motor control, so long as this limb independence does not verge into uncontrolled pathological movement. We also found that the same level of dance quality could be predicted by different combinations of dance features. Our work opens avenues to exploring the functional significance, informational content, and temporal sequencing of the different types of movement in dance.
