Pilates for Dancers

Build strength, control and freedom in every phrase you dance.

Designed specifically for advanced / intermediate ballet and contemporary dancers, this course uses Pilates to refine your technique from the inside out. You will develop deep core stability, intelligent alignment and fluid mobility that supports demanding choreography without sacrificing artistry.

From conditioning to stage-ready

Core as your engine - Learn to engage the deep abdominals to support the spine and pelvis, so balances, arabesques and développés feel more secure and less tiring on the lower back.

Balanced, intelligent strength - Rebalance overworked muscles (turnout rotators, quads, calves) and awaken the often-neglected stabilisers. This helps reduce the risk of overuse injuries and supports a longer, healthier dancing life.

Refined alignment and line - Use Pilates principles to improve dynamic alignment, extension and control, allowing you to hold and move through positions with greater ease and clarity.

Joint-friendly mobility - Explore controlled, full-range movements that keep your hips, spine and shoulders mobile without aggressive or ballistic stretching.

  • Prime Your Stabilisers for Complex Variations

    Use targeted mat and reformer sequences to “switch on” stabilising muscles before running a variation.

  • Breathing Technique for Seamless Dance Phrasing

    Apply Pilates breath patterns to your phrasing so movements feel more fluid, powerful and unforced.

  • Neutral Alignment for Longer, Freer Lines

    Use awareness of neutral pelvis and shoulder stability to refine port de bras, arabesque lines and turns, reducing gripping and tension.

  • Who This Course Is For

    Ideal for: advanced / Intermediate ballet and contemporary dancers who want to dance with more strength, precision and longevity, while preserving freedom and artistry in their work.

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
