What an honour to be asked to teach at the first Southampton Dance Circle<\/a> Day on May 30th 2017. This was an event run by local dance teachers, all working together to\u00a0put on a great event for any children in their dance schools and in the local area. I love the collaborative nature of this, the non-competitiveness and the sheer passion the teachers all have.<\/p>\n

Pilates is well known to have amazing benefits for dancers. Joseph Pilates himself worked dancers and in fact for a while Pilates was taken over by the dance world.\u00a0So without a doubt Pilates can help children in dance too. I was excited and slightly nervous to see how a Pilates class would go down in a day of other exciting dance classes. I was part of an amazing line up including:\u00a0Ballet\/Contemporary with Louis McMiller (Royal Ballet Grad), Contemporary with Amy J Ireland, Musical Theatre with Sarah Evans (recommended by West End Star Ricky Rojas), Tap with Viki (trained with Tap Attack), Hip Hop with Cesa Hijo de Lalan.<\/p>\n

The children there were a pleasure to be with. The older ones really worked hard and I could see them taking what I was saying on \u00a0board. I was able to push them quite hard and they even posed nicely for the local paper!<\/p>\n

\"Pilates<\/a><\/p>\n

The middle group of children had the definite mid afternoon slump session and so Pilates was great for them as they got a little lie down and some super stretching was done.<\/p>\n

The tiny ones were super cute to teach, I could have cuddled them all! At the end of a very busy and active day a few were almost asleep but they gave such concentration to the class, I was super impressed.<\/p>\n

\"Dance<\/a><\/p>\n

Thankyou so much for asking me to come along and teach, I hope the children enjoyed it. Some of the feedback that I have heard so far is it made some of them feel all calm and relaxed, which is a good thing in my book! Maybe we should add in some mindfulness next time too.<\/p>\n

Next Dance Circle Day is October half term. I know I will be booking my girl on it.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in a Children’s Pilates class then do get in touch, we are launching one soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
