DancePilates.com runs customised Pilates sessions, movement education workshops and specific dance programmes to; prevent injury, improve dance technique, increase understanding of movement principles and prepare the dancer for the demands of their dance form.

We are proud to support Auckland dance schools and dancers and congratulate our many successful young dancers. In the past few years, 8 former DancePilates.com members have been offered full time places at the Australian Ballet School and 6 at the NZ School of Dance. In the 2011 Australasian Alana Haines competition, 12 of the top 14 Auckland based dancers are current studio members, including 2 group winners and 3 Junior runner ups.

We have also recently partnered with the New Zealand Dance Company, based in Auckland, and look forward to helping support this exciting initiative.

Our Philosophy... our focus is on dancer education as opposed to instruction, and teaching, not just treating. We value evidence based exercise therapy and are actively involved in the development of Dance Science. By sharing our knowledge you will put yourself in a position to get the most out of your body and to have a long and rewarding dance career.

We cater for all dance forms and take dancers aged 7 +. Pilates sessions and dance Pilates workshops are mostly held at Westmere Pilates (location information).

The instructors have backgrounds in and links with the wider dance and medical community. We have two expert musculoskeletal physiotherapists, a former dancer with the Royal Ballet Company London and a former principal dancer with the Royal New Zealand Ballet. We are actively involved in dance research and one of our instructors is currently completing a Masters in dance science. 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.
