Pilates – Joseph Pilates (1880-1968) is widely known for his development of specific mat and equipment-based movement exercises, the original practice has evolved significantly over the years. At the core of this method of exercise, Pilates addresses muscle strength and flexibility to improve postural alignment, balance, and coordination. There are many different approaches to teaching Pilates today.

Aerial dance class utilizes low flying aerial trapeze and fabric. Students will be hanging upside down, spinning, and suspended off the ground.

The Dance Lab: Conditioning Intensive will focus on applying this method of exercise to compliment dancers in their practice.
