The session asks "Does Pilates really work?" Presenter studied changes in female and male Ballet Chicago advanced students who took two Pilates classes per week for 4 weeks (1.0 hours each), taught at Ballet Chicago. This class is based on the hypothesis that BASI-Pilates exercises aid in abdominal strength, as well as external rotator muscular endurance; resulting in improved postural alignment, increased muscular control of turnout - and proposed decrease rate of dance-related injury.
