Pilates For Dancers

 Find your centre with every turn

Revive Ashgrove studio is offering a 25% discount for equipment pilates for current Ausdance QLD members and tertiary dance students.

The benefits of Pilates in dance have been recognised for decades and having been utilized by the likes of Rudolf Laban, George Balanchine, Ted Shawn, Martha Graham, Rudolf Nureyev, Mikael Baryshnikov and more as a means of:

• Physical conditioning and maintenance
• Technical strengthening and mobility
• Injury prevention and rehabilitation

The fundamental principles of the Pilates method (Concentration; Control; Centring; Precision; Flowing Movement; Breathing) closely reflect qualities that all dancers hope to find every time they move. Focusing on core stability, strength and control through the body Pilates starts from the centre of the torso and works all the way out to the finger tips. With committed practice Pilates will enhance efficient and effective movement and improve dance performance and technique.

Revive Ashgrove can provide a personalised pilates equipment program addressing the demanding needs specific to a dancers body. All clients will undergo an inital assessment with a Revive Physiotherapist which includes a realtime ultra-sound scan of the deep abdominal muscles. Revive Ashgrove are one of the few pilates centres in Brisbane who can offer this service which is the only 100% accurate method to evaluate core activation strength, endurance and imbalances. After every ten sessions this program is re-assessed and your abdominals re-scanned to monitor and address your body's progress.
