Dance calls for extraordinary skill and dedication. Studying the Alexander Technique helps you to resource and get the most from the design of your body. With subtle attention to the inherent laws of coordination, your expressiveness can flow more freely.
Regardless of dance style, by using AT dancers can move with greater ease, poise and accomplishment. Alexander lessons are a kind, experiential way of learning, full of patient observation. Your kinaesthetic awareness refines, you can gauge the feeling of what you are doing.
With an enlivened awareness of your whole self, you learn to listen to your body in a new way. You become aware of patterns – perhaps from old injuries, perhaps from years of dedicated training – that may get you into trouble sooner or later.
Movement becomes freer when you, the dancer, move from an embodied source – releasing habitual tensions and holding patterns, fully receptive and responsive to the moment. You feel it, it flows. The Alexander Technique can help you to enhance what you already do well and step into the wholeness of yourself.
