Continuing education
Mat training keep on going
PilatesByDancers offers training based on the quality of the Romana's Pilates method coupled with a view and sensitivity drawn from experience as professional dancers who have practiced several dance techniques: Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham , Limon, release, theater dance, Feldenkrais, improvisation, contact dance, etc…
In my opinion, there are two points in common between dance and the Pilates method:
- the ability to use the imagination to project oneself into movement, and live the present moment in control AND feeling,
- the resistance put during an action, which gives the quality of the fluidity of the rhythm and the dynamics of the movement.

We insist on the fact that to be a Pilates teacher in France, it is imperative to have a state diploma and that a Pilates certification, whatever it is, does not, on its own, allow you to teach against remuneration.
It is necessary to inquire with the FPMP (Professional Federation of the Pilates Method).
