Personal Pilates

Are you looking for new ways of improving your dancing?
Would you like to strengthen and stretch your body?

Pilates offers great benefits for dancers as well as nondancers:

Increase strength
Increase flexibility
Improve balance
Improve posture
Stabilize core
Control breathing
Develop alignment
Develop focus
Rebuild injured areas
Prevent injuries
Look and feel great

Pilates is extremely effective because it strengthens and lengthens those areas that a regular gym workout does not target.

For dancers, pilates will improve your turns, increase your turn out, and help you become a better dancer. For nondancers, pilates will center you and help you connect to the intrinsic muscles that correlate to the stability, strength and stretch of your body.

Personal Pilates is conveniently located behind Hama’s Dance Center and is the perfect solution for a dancer who wants to get a workout and target precision points specific to the dancer. It is also good for the nondancer who would like to stretch the spine and create a toned and physically fit body in a healthy manner.
