On Monday 15th Jan 2024 we were lucky enough to invite former professional dancer Olivia Holland into our studio for a specialised Pilates for Dancers workshop.
Our dancers worked on a basic knowledge of pilates in an introduction and warm up, a ballet class then followed focusing on flow and precision. Olivia worked through some pre-pointe work and talked about the importance of a strong base for pointe shoes, and finished off with a lovely stretch and cool down.
This was such a lovely way to begin our dance year, with lots of fun classes and extra events to come in 2024!
Thank you Olivia for your expertise and inspiration xx
