Pilates
Mat Class
Beneficial for both dancers and non-dancers, Pilates classes are based on concepts
and exercises of the methodology of Joseph Pilates that focus on improving
flexibility, strength and stabilization. It alternates muscular toning exercises;
at times incorporating rubber bands for resistance training, with deep stretches.
The exercises help facilitate correct spinal alignment and are ideal for dancers
(or anyone) as they strengthen without bulking muscles, thus enabling greater
ease of movement as well as a lovely elongated physique. This work also energizes
the body so it is beneficial before class or performance.
