Description

Kelly Leonardi, a Pilates instructor, educator and professional ballerina joins us today to talk about the intersection of Pilates and dance which have been strongly intertwined since the beginning of the method. Many of the elders who worked with Joe and kept the work alive and growing after he died were dancers and both emphasize precision, control and moving from the center. In this personal episode, Kelly talks with us about her journey from dance to Pilates and how the two disciplines have enriched her life, improved her dancing and created a successful career filled with the joy and passion of moving well.
