Pilates for Dancers: Sally Anderson & Kristy 

Wetherell 

“Over the years I have found no better method for directly 

training dance skills as well as enhancing integrated 

movement, control and balance. When utilised consistently, 

the benefits of undertaking the pilates method are 

extraordinary. “ Sally Anderson 

Part I – Conditioning and Preparing the Dancer 

Learn a full Pilates sequence that you can take with you 

anywhere to maintain and increase condition, warm up 

and prepare you for class, rehearsal or performance. 

This sequence offers you the opportunity to change the 

way you control your body through movement. 

Part II – Training Dance Specific Skills 

We will look at specific positions and movements that 

are consistently required of a dancer and learn pilates 

sequences that will enhance execution, positioning and 

ability to sustain.  We will discuss joint positioning for 

developes in all positions, arabesques, muscle 

sequencing for a range of movements including grand 

ronds, and training your jumps and beats. 

Participants will go away with an extensive range of 

information and specific practical skills to use 

themselves or to impart to students. 

The Pilates Method has a particularly appropriate 

application for dancers, with Joseph Pilates having 

worked extensively on conditioning and rehabilitating 

dancers with his work whilst continuing to develop and 

extend his method. Joe and Clara Pilates were renowned 

for teaching annually at the modern dance retreat 

Jacobs Pillow, where they instilled the concepts and 

principles of “contrology” into the dancers of the day.
