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.
