The Alexander Technique is a simple yet powerful method for bringing lightness, balance and ease to the way that you move through life. You become aware of old patterns in your movement that are holding you back and learn to let go of them.
Peter Sweet first learned to dance by jumping from rock to rock in the river as a young boy. Since then he has had many years of professional training, but he has always held on to this playful spontaneous approach to movement. Sweet's goal as a teacher is to help you to unlock and release the most vital expression of who you are through your dance.
Pedagogy
Every person’s signature is unique, because it is the result of a unique human being, expressing themselves through their moving body. The same is true of every handshake, every note played on every violin, every stroke of a brush on canvas and every tango step across the room. How we move shapes how we feel, moment to moment, and impacts how we express ourselves in all that we do.
Technique and Play
Techniques offer us infinite ways to refine our actions and express what we are in ways that can have an impact on others. "Play" offers us the opportunity to follow our impulses moment to moment in a spontaneous flow. When we bring the two together, we can evolve our expressive powers.
