DancePilates.com runs customised Pilates sessions, movement education workshops and specific dance programmes, for dancers to; prevent injury, improve technique, increase understanding of movement principles and prepare the dancer for the demands of their dance form.
We cater for all dance forms and take dancers aged 7 +. Pilates sessions and dance Pilates workshops are mostly held at Westmere Pilates (please see website for Pilates session times and location information).
The instructors have backgrounds in and links with the wider dance and medical community. For example, we have two expert musculoskeletal physiotherapists (one of whom has worked at the NZ School of Dance), a former dancer with the Royal Ballet Company London and a former professional contemporary dancer and dance educator with The Royal Ballet School, ENB, BRB and Candoco dance co. All our instructors have a special interest in and experience with working with dancers. Find out more
We have a collaborative approach, and use our online system to record individual information against each session, build your profile and your homework. So if your regular instructor is unavailable another team member can assist you in their absence.
If you get injured we are able to work together with your dance physiotherapist to provide a graded rehabilitation programme back into your dance environment.
