Alexander Technique for Dancers Workshop, June 20, 11:30-1pm
with Larry Young AmSat certified teacher

In this 90-minute introductory workshop, dancers will learn core AT principles and basic anatomy to help release chronic tension, improve dynamic alignment, and prevent injury. Discover how to enhance your stage presence and execute movement with grace and efficiency.

• Redefine Your Technique: Learn to stop habitual, unnecessary muscular gripping so you can direct your energy exactly where it needs to go.
• Injury Prevention: Understand your natural biomechanics and how to protect joints during high-impact sequences and demanding choreography.
• Unleash Expression: Shift your focus from “looking right in the mirror” to the organic process of moving, granting your body greater emotional and theatrical range. We will explore how to move more in accordance with the way the body is actually designed.

Workshop Details • Date & Time: Saturday, June 20 | 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
• Location: MAGMA, Gloucester, MA
