Dancers were the first group of athletes to see and adhere to a pilates regimen, almost 100 years ago. Called “contrology” before it was called “pilates,” ballet dancers in New York City truly coined the term we all know today. Why?

With focused engagement of the deep core (including back muscles), pilates will level up your dance game. When you hold strength in your deepest stabilizing muscles, your movements are explosive.

This full-body workout calls for deep abdominal engagement for power and agility in the upper and lower body.
