Pilates Benefits For Dancers

I’m an aspiring dancer. If you had to choose only one system of conditioning: Pilates, Gyrokenesis, Yoga? Why?

I have so many choices at my school. I’d like some professional opinions or answers from anyone who has experience with dance and supplementing it with these conditioning systems. I’d like to focus on the best system for benefiting dancers.

I love pilates. It seems to stretch me out much better than yoga. It is relaxing as well as conditioning. In my opinion, it is the better choice of the three for dancers. In my classes, we incorporated a lot of Pilates moves into our warm up stretches and it seemed to make us stretched out much more quickly.

Hope this helps!
