This "hot new trend" in fitness isn't all that new (ballet being over a hundred years old by now), but the synthesis of rigorous ballet exercises with Pilates and stretching has become the NEW THING that Pilates was ten years ago. And I'm hopping on this train! With my background in dance (lots of ballet over the years, too!) its a great fit. Look for this class on Thursday Mornings starting 6/23 at 9:30. An all levels class, but not therapeutic, so best for those who want to work their legs, hips and core, but are not struggling with injury. This photo is from NY Times article in May.

See you at the barre!
