Train like a Ballet Dancer!!
I am so excited to bring this innovative body-conditioning and strengthening program to Style Pilates Studio. The Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) class was Founded by Marie Walton-Mahon - Professional Ballet Dancer.
"PBT has been designed to enhance technique by focussing on training the muscle memory required in each exercise in all forms of dance or chosen field of sport."
Performed to classical music, PBT focuses on core strength. The use of an exercise ball allows clients to gain a great sense of posture, weight placement and alignment of the body with a gradual approach of carefully designed exercises and repetitions of these exercises to trigger their muscle memory."
PBT classes can be challenging classes however will leave you feeling incredible.
