My ballet teacher did the PBT course in 2019 and introduced a half hour session before each class. I absolutely loved how connected and centred I felt and resolved to do the training when it next became available in our region. I'm a Pilates teacher and was looking to move more in the direction of training dancers, with a specific interest in how Pilates (and PBT) might benefit ballroom dancers.
Fast forward a few years and I did the PBT course during lockdown and enjoyed it but for family reasons I haven't been able to use it, or teach Pilates for some time now. I do still dance though, and am immensely interested in the topic of dance conditioning/cross training for dancers - particularly how it can benefit older dancers, as I'm now speeding through my 50s! I also follow the Science in Dance FB page which I've found really interesting as I have a long history of weight training and previously worked as a personal trainer. My PBT certification is up for renewal soon and by coincidence I wandered onto this page at a time when I've been pondering a return to training clients in the future and wondering exactly what direction I might take. So many great points raised here - thank you!!
