Kelly Southall

Kelly was first introduced to the Pilates method in 2002 while studying dance at Ohio University. Coming from an Irish dance background, this method provided amazing support for the transition into Modern/Contemporary dance forms, which require more full-body awareness and a deeper understanding of movement integration.

Pilates continued to be present in various capacities throughout his 17-year career with the Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Company. Upon retirement from dance, Kelly turned to Pilates as the path leading to his next movement adventure. He successfully completed his 400-hour comprehensive certification in the summer of 2022 from VIDA Pilates, and is grateful for the opportunity to explore and share this wonderful method with others!
