Group of people practising ballet

Iso Fit, located in Central, Hong Kong, offers high-intensity, low-impact Pilates workouts that are guaranteed to keep you moving and dancing! Pilates is a natural choice for dancers when choosing supplementary training. Why? Their long history together makes them naturally cohesive; they’ve been connected and trained together for a very long time.

During World War 1, Joseph Pilates began creating his movement program, afterwards immigrating to New York City in the 1920s where he connected with the New York City Ballet. Dancers found his method helped them achieve optimal performance and as an added (and important!) benefit, the training helped to reduce the risk of injury.

Dance is a complex movement that requires grace, flexibility and creativity– but also strength, power and endurance. Dance class alone does not provide all of the physical attributes needed to succeed, and supplemental training is essential. This is where Pilates comes in– Pilates focuses on deep core support, pelvic alignment, as well as fluid and controlled movement throughout the body. Dancers also prefer Pilates because it teaches us proper posture, encourages muscle balance and builds support in a whole-body workout that focuses on proper movement. This results in the efficient, fluid, whole body movements that are also essential principles of dance.

The physical demands on a dancer, both in studio practice and on stage, are immense, and careers are very often cut short due to the sheer physical demands. Pilates has helped countless dancers extend their careers by allowing them to build the attributes they need to succeed– physical strength, lean muscle, increased flexibility. It is also not uncommon to see dancers continue with Pilates long after their careers end, with some even choosing to teach it to others.

While dancers greatly benefit from using Pilates to build lean muscle, flexibility and grace,  anyone can enjoy the same benefits by attending Pilates courses at Iso Fit Hong Kong. Iso Fit has a number of options available, including group classes available where you can get in shape and make new friends, and/or individual Pilates lessons, which may be better for those of you looking for one on one advice or just a little privacy in your sessions.
