Vera Aleksandrovna Griner[a] (née Alvang,[b] 5 April 1890 – 24 June 1992) was a Russian Empire-born Soviet rhythmitician.
In 1912 Alvang, together with several pupils of Dalcroze came to St. Petersburg to train to be a teacher with courses set by Prince Serge Wolkonsky.
After a year she was a teacher and a student of Hellerau, and in May 1913 she graduated from the Institute and returned to St. Petersburg to commence teaching, which she continued to do until 1970.
It was directed by Nina Alexandrova, and Griner, together with many people familiar to her from the previous period, such as Prince Wolkonsky, got the teacher.
In 1991, Fédération internationale des enseignants de rythmique [fr] gave her the Honoured Member of this Federation.
