Leila Kester speaks on pilates for dancers. This episode considers pilates as a “cross training” method for the mind, recognising the power of noticing and observing movement, with less judgement. We discuss the purpose of slower, more mindful movement for development as artists, and the way this can shape and enhance a dance career.
