Roni Mahler is a former ballerina that began her career with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo and then went on to perform principal roles with American Ballet Theatre and the National Ballet of Washington.  Her career also led her to spend six years as Director of Dance at Kansas State University and gifted the world of dance with several educational recordings and manuals devoted to ballet technique.  Her career and life has been rich with experiences and people that have shaped the dance community in many ways.   In my opinion, she is one of the last true ballerinas sharing the pure and uncensored techniques of what ballet was designed to be.
