Do I have to be a dancer to do Pilates?

No! Like Yoga, many dancers and former dancers teach Pilates. Pilates is popular with dancers because George Balanchine and later, Martha Graham sent their dancers to Joseph Pilates when they were injured so many decades ago. Remember, Joseph Pilates was a man and Pilates is great for men and women as well as children and seniors.
