"Pilates has given me a much greater awareness of my body together with strength and coordination which I can then translate into my dancing. I find it particularly helpful for targeting muscle imbalances and for centreing myself before class. The whole team at Pondera are so caring and friendly and are always there with helpful advice on technique or injuries not to mention they’re always thinking up something new and challenging to try. I always look forward to going to Pondera, in fact I can’t see myself ever able to live without it!"

"A back injury as a dancer was quite a daunting prospect … the expertise of Pondera’s staff helped to turn that thought around. A full return to dancing at a professional level became achievable and in the shortest time safely possible.The encouragement and individual attention Pondera offered through their Physiotherapy and Pilates Programmes provided just the right environment to stay positive and determined, which enabled a return to dance feeling fit and confident and with an even greater level of understanding of my body. Thank you Pondera!"

"Latin dancing requires a high level of body awareness and coordination. I have noticed a significant increase in my core stability and balance since undertaking the Pilates based program developed specifically for me by Pondera. It is really fantastic, and I highly recommend Pondera’s programs to anyone involved in dance!"
