Body Re-education/Alignment Technique

In the class we will approach alignment from both anatomical and body-felt viewpoints. Working on the deep structural level, we move towards gaining support through muscular and skeletal connections for moving through space. Classes are designed to aid the dancer in getting the most out of what they have, helping the student move with greater ease, efficiency and power. We align the bones by using the muscles most responsible for the transfer of forces through the body. In the second part of class will transfer the Alignment principles into movement. These classes are based on the Re-Education of the Body teachings of Barbara Mahler.
