    The Olympics.... How to be a Healthy Dancer and Athlete in Mind, Body and Spirit
    2024/08/16

    As the Olympics comes to an end and we begin to look toward 2028 in Los Angeles, my town…… I want to express my gratitude to all the athletes who have worked so hard to achieve their dreams. It takes years of dedication and hard work to be able to make it to the Olympics and athletes and dancers cannot do it alone. It takes support from coaches, loved ones as well as the drive from within the athlete. Congratulations to all the athletes who competed in the Olympics….. what an accomplishment. Let's explore the Mind, Body, and Spirit of the Dancer and Athlete

    From Ballet to Baseball .... an in depth Interview with Ballerina Roni Mahler I
    2024/08/02

    Roni Mahler is a former ballerina who was trained by the renowned Madame Maria Yurieva Swoboda. Ms. Mahler performed principal roles with American Ballet Theatre and the National Ballet of Washington (D.C.), after beginning her career in her teens with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo.

    For over three decades, Roni was the Artistic Associate of Dennis Nahat’s Cleveland Ballet/Ballet San Jose, where she taught and coached, as well as performed “character” roles with that internationally-acclaimed ballet troupe. A native of New York City, Ms. Mahler's teaching credits include Ballet Academy East, The Alvin Ailey School, The Juilliard School, Florence (Italy) Summer Dance, The Joffrey School, Ballet Tech, and School of Ballet San Jose. Roni is a former tenured Assistant Professor and director of Dance at Kansas State University, where she initiated the KSU Dance Degree program. Kansas State has since honored her with the Roni Mahler Ballet Studio. For fifteen years, they presented an annual award in her name.

    Roni choreographed for Cynthia Gregory and Fernando Bujones during their City Center season in New York. She is the creator of "Ballet Movement for the Athlete,” a fitness program she customized for the Cleveland Browns. Her 6-DVD collection... “The Complete Guide To Teaching Ballet”... enables dance teachers to explore training methods for all ages.

  • Declaration of Independence from your Eating Disorder

    Declaration of Independence from your Eating Disorder
    2024/06/28

    As we approach our 248th birthday for the United States, I like to look at the Declaration of Independence and why we separated from Great Britain. They wanted to separate from Great Britain for the right of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. For those struggling with an eating disorder, think about your declaration of independence from your eating disorder. The Declaration of Independence continues to inspire people around the world to fight for freedom and equality. Are you ready to fight for your freedom from your eating disorder?

Later she sought the training of Acia Gray in Austin, Barbara Phillips in San Antonio, and Jay Fagan in Chicago. Much of her exposure to the tap community was through tap festivals such as the Chicago Human Rhythm Project, and the Third Coast Rhythm Project. She has had the privilege of studying with many professionals in the field, such as Derick K. Grant, Lane Alexander, Bril Barrett, Henry LeTang, Sam Weber, Nicole Hockenberry, Dianne Walker, Gregory Hines, and Yuji Uragami. In 2010, she received the Gene, Louise, and Fred Kelly Tap Teacher Scholarship.Leverton has performed at such venues as Radio City Music Hall, the Kodak Theatre, the Sky Dome in Toronto, and Wembley Stadium in London. She toured nationally and internationally as a dancer and later as dance captain with “Barney’s Colorful World” from 2003-2004. She played “Bert” and various chorus characters in Sesame Street Live’s touring productions of “Elmo Makes Music“, and “When Elmo Grows Up” in 2007-2008.In 2011, she received the opportunity to work and travel internationally to Japan, Korea, Turkey, Europe, and the UK as “Grover” with “Sesame Street Live’s USO Experience for Military Families”, as a part of Michelle Obama’s project “Joining Forces”. The tour kicked off with First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden in attendance.Leverton’s acting credits include the lead role in the award winning short film “Bitch” that was selected to play at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007.Keira co-founded and co-directed the Drawbacks Youth Tap Ensemble, Dallas’ oldest and longest running youth tap ensemble. She also co-founded and co-directed the Dallas based tap company, Rhythmic Souls. Many of her students have gone on to dance in professional shows.
    Leverton’s latest endeavor is the resurrection of her grandfather’s company, Choreo Records with the addition of the youth tap company. The Choreo Records Company mission is to preserve and promote the historic choreographic works of jazz and tap dance master Buster Cooper.
    As a teacher, Keira is passionate about preserving the history of the indigenous American art of tap dance. She maintains constant interaction with the national and international tap community, so that in addition to her original works and the historical traditional material, she may bring fresh and up to date information to her students.
