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.
