Alex Munz received his dance education at the Paris Opera Ballet school. As Principal soloist of the Berlin Opera Ballet, he portrayed lead roles for major choreographers, several renowned contemporary choreographers created roles for him. Unfortunately, Alex Munz’s dance education in France in the 80’s was a time when Dance Medicine had not yet taken shape. After experiencing chronic injuries along his career, he decided to stop compromising his body. In 2003, convinced he could avoid surgery and lifetime medication, Alex Munz started to practice an empirical research on his own spine; the positive impacts were so rapid and profound that he formalized a new pedagogical approach branded under the name S.A.F.E.® – Spine Advanced Functional Empowerment.
Former Principal Soloist of the Berlin Opera Ballet, my dance education began in the early 80’s at the Paris Opera Ballet School, contemporary dance was just emerging in France. My years of early training took place at a time when the strict notions of symmetry and hyper-verticality were the dominant forces in the training of an ideal body. All my career, I carried this subconscious perception of myself in 2D. I also believe that this way of working contributed to the chronic injuries that followed, until I founded the SAFE® methods. Literally, SAFE® saved me.
