Pilates for dance: supporting the body in motion (workshop)

About this course

Participants explore alignment, core support, controlled mobility, breath and coordination through guided Pilates-based exercises and short movement sequences. The workshop considers how these principles relate to posture, balance, stability and fluid transitions, with attention to the spine, pelvis, hips, shoulders and lower limbs. The teaching takes place in a reflective, non-competitive setting. Learners are encouraged to notice individual movement patterns, listen to their bodies and adapt exercises to suit their training background and physical needs.

What you'll learn

• Apply at least two Pilates principles during guided movement sequences.
• Identify and describe a change in movement quality during Pilates-based exercises.
• Adapt a Pilates exercise for personal dance or movement practice.
