Dance is the art form in which human movement becomes the medium for sensing, understanding, and communicating ideas, feelings, and experiences within the structure of time and space. The Alexander Technique is a body awareness methodology that teaches people to move with a greater degree of ease and coordination. This study introduces the basic concepts of the Alexander Technique, its role in teaching dance students, and the current status of Alexander Technique classes in dance schools in the United States.
The Alexander Technique helps students develop their kinesthetic sense which allows them to consciously observe the movement of their body while they are dancing. Students learn to dance more freely and prevent injuries by managing their habits and eliminating unnecessary tension. The Alexander technique allows dancers and dance students to find their own original poise, innate resilient mobility, coordination and dexterity. In addition, it relieves psychological tension by releasing tension of the body and teaches dancers to be more focused in the present moment.
To effectively teach the Alexander Technique to a dance student, a one-on-one class or small group in a quiet setting is required whereas dance teachers give attention to a group of dancers, keep the class moving and maintain an appropriate energy level. Another difference in the Alexander Technique class is that teachers communicate with students in indirect ways such as acquiring goals through inhibition, non-doing and subtle hands-on work.
Currently, the Alexander Technique is widely taught in many dance and performing art schools in the U.S. such as Julliard and the Boston Conservatory. Students exposed to the Alexander technique in dance class enhance their dance skill as well as personal well-being. Therefore, teaching the Alexander Technique to dance students will provide new opportunities for them to learn how to use their body consciously and help them to dance with appropriate dynamic balance.
