Testimonials - special workshops and consultancy
We first started integrating Pilates work at our Studio with the introduction of Pilates based warm ups in the AJDA Jazz Syllabus. These warm-ups were devised by Tania Huddart and Susie Simpson and opened the door for our students to be introduced to the language of Pilates. It assisted so much with the students general strength and control that we decided to create a Pilates based stability and stretch class to further augment these improvements.
To this end, we attended several of Tania's Pilates courses which were hugely beneficial in expanding our knowledge base. Tania also assisted in devising our class and exercise plans. Once the students were well acquainted with this basic knowledge, we asked Tania to take a workshop specifically addressing core strength and balance with the goal of improving their approach to adage and turns. They found the information easy to absorb and easy to apply to their bodies.
The workshop was so successful that we plan to schedule in other sessions with Tania to cover workshops she has created aimed at other aspects of dance such as jumps.
Tania has an innate ability to relate well to her audience and get her knowledge across irrespective of whether she is talking to students or teachers. We feel the information that is being given to our young students by her will provide them with valuable tools to help support them and their bodies throughout, and beyond, their dancing years.
