Pilates for Dancers Brisbane
Private Pilates coaching tailored to your dancing goals
At MVMNT by Design, we understand dancers — because we’ve lived the discipline, the artistry, and the demands it places on the body.
We specialise in helping dancers unlock their full potential through tailored Pilates coaching. Whether you’re a young ballet student preparing for pointe work, a full-time dance student building strength for auditions, or a professional dancer seeking injury prevention and recovery support, our private and duo Pilates sessions are designed for you.
Who We Work With
Our Pilates coaching is designed for dancers across all stages:
Young dancers preparing for dance exams, performances and pointe work
Full-time dance students building conditioning for auditions, performances and longevity
Professional dancers maintaining strength, preventing injuries, or returning to performance after recovery
Why Pilates for dancers?
Pilates is a vital part of keeping dancers in peak condition. It helps prevent injury while giving dancers the chance to slow movements down and truly understand which muscles should be firing when they move.
Through Pilates, dancers can improve:
Balance, stability, and core strength
Posture, alignment, and extension
Body awareness and technique precision
Control, resilience, and performance confidence
Pre-pointe preparation for ballet students
Dance conditioning to support jazz, contemporary, and ballet training
Injury prevention and rehabilitation strategies
At MVMNT by Design, our focus is not only on strengthening the body but also on building the confidence and resilience dancers need in their mindset and movement.
Private & Duos
Our Private and Duo sessions are designed specifically for dancers and are 45 minutes, tailored to your goals and stage of training. Sessions may include a combination of Reformer, mat, and specialised Pilates equipment (Wunda Chair, Spine Corrector, BOSU, suspension straps) — or a Reformer-only focus if you prefer.
Private Pilates Brisbane — one-on-one coaching focused on your strength, control, and specific dance technique goals.
Duo Pilates Coorparoo — book with a friend or fellow dancer and train together while still receiving individual attention.
Every session is tailored to your needs — whether you’re preparing for pointe work, improving flexibility, building strength for auditions, or focusing on injury prevention.
Our equipment-based approach helps dancers safely progress, refine technique, and feel supported both in and out of the studio.
