In the 1980’s, Elena Bartley our guest today was a company member of Dance Theater of Harlem, the most prestigious black ballet dance company in the world. As fortune would have it, Elena learned about the Contrology System AKA Pilates, from the company’s executive director, Kathy Grant who was as many of you know, a disciple of Joe Pilates. After spending two decades as one of the company’s soloists, Elena transitioned to teaching Pilates and brought with her a dancer’s eye for detail and a passion for movement. She also studied with other first generation teachers, Ron Fletcher, Eve Gentry, Jay Grimes and Romana Kryzanowska who all informed Elena’s teaching.
