In these unchartered times, our usually structured days are reshaped with unexpected moments. On Monday, I would normally have been teaching but, I was of course at home. The phone rang, it was Boys Dance Too UK asking for an interview with me, in my capacity as Pilates Tutor at the Royal Academy of Dance. I spoke with Emma Olley and she asked me how and why I felt Pilates was good for ballet training and, in particular, why Pilates works for Boy dancers. We had a good chat and I share the interview with you.
Keep strong my friends and contact me anytime.

"Watch a cat, as it lazily opens its eyes, slowly looks around, and gradually prepares to rise after a nap. First, it gradually rises on its hindquarters and then gradually lowers itself again, at the same time sprawling out on the floor, leisurely stretching its forepaws (with extended claws) and legs. Observe closely how all its back muscles actually ripple as it stretches and relaxes itself.... Observe, too, how cats sleep - utterly relaxed whether they happen to be lying on their back, side or belly, Contrology exercises emphasize the need for this constant stretching and relaxing"
