“Pilates BY dancers, FOR dancers”
Taught by Melissa Muniz, Certified Master Pilates Instructor & dance 101 teacher
Pilates Reformer sessions now at Dance 101!
Here’s why we are so excited to offer this to you:
- Whether you’re new to Pilates or a seasoned practitioner, our Reformer sessions are uniquely curated with a special focus on dance. AND because each session is limited to 2 participants at a time, they’re highly personalized and customized to you – within the Classic and Contemporary Pilates Reformer framework. When you walk into a session, you tell us if there is something specific you wish to strengthen. Every dancer has a wish list. What’s on yours?
Here’s why we feel so strongly about it:
- Developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates—who worked directly with legendary dancers like George Balanchine and Martha Graham—the Pilates method, originally called “Contrology,” focuses on strengthening the deep stabilizing muscles of the core. This scientific approach to conditioning builds a resilient, balanced body that can withstand the demands of the highest levels of dance – imagine what it can do for you.
By integrating the tradition of classical dance training with the intelligent, science-based conditioning of Pilates, dancers can unlock their full potential.
This is what dance 101 is all about.
