Pilates is widely used by dancers as a form of physical conditioning to balance strength and flexibility, improve posture, increase body awareness, and facilitate proper anatomical function. By practicing this method regularly dancers become more well-rounded in their craft, reduce their chances of injury and increase the longevity of their dance careers. Both classical and modern methods of Pilates explore foundational principles such as concentration, control, centering, precision, flow and breathing. Pilates supports healthy movement for all ages and abilities.
