Alexander Technique with Ann Rodiger

Movement for Dancers and Movers

Discover a fresh approach to movement in this three-hour introduction to the principles of the Alexander Technique, designed especially for movers and dancers. Through guided exploration, participants will investigate alignment and balance, the flow of movement, and pathways toward greater spontaneity and ease. This workshop offers practical tools for refining movement choices that support freedom, efficiency, and expressive clarity in both dancing and everyday movement.

Principles of the Alexander Technique

This three-hour introduction to the principles of the Alexander Technique invites participants of all backgrounds to explore how movement and awareness support self-agency and choice. Through gentle, guided exploration, the body is approached as a gateway to both inner experience and outward connection, revealing how we organize ourselves in action and communication. Participants will refine their capacity to sense, choose, and respond with greater clarity, becoming more available to themselves and more responsive in their interactions with others.

Meet Ann Rodiger

Ann Rodiger

Ann Rodiger is the Founder and Director of the Balance Arts Center in New York City.  She has over 40 years of experience teaching the Alexander Technique. Her teaching draws from her knowledge and experience from Alexander Technique Training in Urbana Illinois with Joan and Alex Murray, as well as her knowledge of Labanotation, Laban Movement Analysis, Bartenieff Fundamentals, Yoga, meditation and various dance techniques.

She has developed the BAC Alexander Technique Teacher Training Program and substantial programming for performing artists. She has also adapted the Alexander principles to work for those with hypermobility and Ehlers Danlos Syndromes. Rodiger teaches internationally in Germany, Belgium, Greece, and Turkey. The Balance Arts Center is a NYC Women and Minority Owned Business and a thriving place for the community to teach, share knowledge, and perform.

Ann’s interest in the Alexander work began when she was studying dance at The Ohio State University.  As a person with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, the AT work allowed her to find a sense of balance and stability. 

After teaching dance at the U. of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the  U. of Hawaii-Manoa Ann moved to NYC to continue her dancing and performing.  She taught at the City College of NY and Labanotation at the Juilliard School.  She also began a private practice in the Alexander Technique which focused on performing artists, particularly dancers and singers.
