Corrective Pilates for Dancers

Dancers of all ages from across the United States avoid future problems and threats to their dancing careers through Shape Shifters Pilates.

Young dancers can enter into early intervention whenever knee, hip, and back issues show up.  Instead of assuming that it is simply overuse, the young dancer can go through an assessment remote or in person to evaluate imbalances and bring the core back online.

Youth dancers’ issues are easily solved in as little as 10 to 20 sessions, through Shape Shifters Dancer based Pilates.

These youth dance developmental rehab sessions include, Healthy Turnout,  Superior Rib Cage Positioning,  Shoulder Blade Functional Glide, Hip Extension and Hip Flexor Balance.

Remote access available through Zoom sessions.   Onsite sessions at Springfield and Branson studios.

“Pilates with Shelley is definitely a big reason I can continue to put miles on my body after many years of forcing it to go the extra mile with strenuous physical activity, I appreciate her and her work immensely,”  April says.
