Juliu Horvath

The method GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®® was created by the former Romanian dancer Juliu Horvath.

His passion for movement dates back to his childhood. When he was young, he was a great athlete and excelled in disciplines such as swimming, gymnastics and rowing.

He began studying dance at the age of 19 and by the age of 21 he was already a member of the Romanian National Dance Company.

In the 1970s he moved to the United States where he pursued his career as a dancer. He became a lead dancer for the Houston Ballet where he ruptured his Achilles tendon and was forced to retire from performing.

In 1977 he moved to St Thomas in the Virgin Islands and for six years developed a unique and complete system of movement, breathing and meditation.

He then returned to New York and founded his first studio, White Cloud Studio, where he began teaching the White Cloud method.

Today, Juliu Horvath continues to perfect the  GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS® methods. He also conducts international training courses for trainers of the method.

During the COVID-19 pandemic the method has aided in the recovery of patients and has continued to evolve as one of the main approaches is to harness the power of breathing to expand the mind and improve quality of movement.

GYROTONIC® pays attention and helps to reflect on the importance of taking a break from the stress produced by our current pace of life to achieve an improvement in our vital state.
