Master Pilates Ballet

A conversation between the body and soul.
Master Pilates is delighted to offer a specialised program for Ballet Dancers. We understand the tremendous value Pilates can bring to dancers of all levels and age groups.

 

In developing our specialised program, we have drawn on our own past experiences as full time ballet students, our extensive knowledge of the Pilates method, and our research into the most up-to-date global best practice for targeted exercise prescriptions for dancers.

We ensure that our instruction in this program is effective in building strength, improving technique and drastically minimising the potential for injury.
