About Instructor: Kirsty Cutting
Kirsty began dancing at the age of 4, as her mother, also a dancer, opened a small dance studio back in England. Kirsty was so passionate about this exciting art form, that this passion propelled her through many years of serious training in London and eventually New York. Her work as a dancer allowed herself to explore life as a Ballerina, Jazz dancer and of course after many years working thorugh examinations, a qualified Ballet and Jazz teacher.
As life changed, Kirsty's passion for movement did not. She has found a way to incorporate her dance background into another passion: Pilates. Weaving these two disciplines together has been a natural process in that they enhance one another in both grace, proper form and technique.
" I look forward to teaching people that exercise does not have to separate the body from the soul;in fact it should unite the two. Learning to move with strength and grace in your own body is the ultimate goal in my training. It is a gift that every body can achieve!"
