Transforming Lives Through Health

Dance is often seen as the perfect combination of strength, flexibility, and grace.  The fluid movement of a performers ability is in the constant movement between maintaining balance, alignment, and the perception of effortlessness. The Alexander Technique helps individuals develop their sensory feedback system. Unconscious body perception plays a key role in the sensory field of awareness and when this perception is allowed to unduly influence movement it will affect the outcome.  By developing a means of greater sensory awareness and a skill that helps regulate its connection to the whole,  the dancer can have a better sense of when the movement is off, and too make changes to their use while in mid phrase. Providing the ability to maintain, refine and adjust while walking down the street, during technique class, during rehearsal or even during performance.

For dancers, the technique offers a powerful tool to deepen the mind body connection, enhance movement efficiency, and reduce the risk of injury. Rather than pushing the body to perform, the technique teaches dancers to work in a different way to effect change, working with the natural coordination and poise of their mind/body system. By bringing attention to how they initiate and carry movement, dancers can begin to recognize patterns that create stiffness or strain. Through this conscious integration of the Alexander work, dance becomes not just a physical act, but a psycho-physical exploration where clarity, freedom, and expression can flourish.
