Dancers' Workshop offers a five-week Beginning Pilates workshop 8:30-9:30 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday, Nov. 17 though Dec. 17. There will be class on Thanksgiving morning – get your workout in before the big meal! Cost for the workshop is $120.

Taught by Contemporary Dance Wyoming dancer Kate Kosharek, the workshop will start students with the beginning basics of Pilates. They do not need any experience to participate.

Based on Joseph Pilates' classical methods, the class will teach the fundamentals of neutral pelvis, breath control and core strength.

"I always tell my students that our core is our whole torso," Kate says. "Pilates is a mindful practice that integrates the body working together as a whole."

One of the benefits of a workshop is that students can progress as a class. After the five-week workshop, students should feel confident attending ongoing Pilates classes at either the beginning or intermediate level.

"The reason I got into Pilates was to educate people about their bodies," Kosharek said. "That's my goal."

Kate W. Kosharek is a teacher, performer, choreographer and the Special Events Coordinator at Dancers’ Workshop. She received her BFA in Dance from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2005 and moved to Jackson shortly after. Kate has been teaching dance to all ages for eight years. More recently, she started teaching Pilates as another avenue to share her love of movement. She is receiving her Pilates certification through Balanced Body University. As her own experience continues to expand, Kate strives to give her students the ability to develop a deep understanding of the Pilates practice.

Pre-registration is preferred. For more information on the Beginning Pilates workshop, or any DW workshop or class, call DW's Adult Workshop Coordinator Meg Daly (307) 733-6398 or visit www.DWJH.org.
