The Pilobolus Advantage

Pilobolus Teaching Artists are experts in movement. Their performance training has provided them with keen body awareness and a unique understanding of how movement inspires joy in themselves and others. Additionally, our dancers rely on one another to execute everything from emotional storytelling to physically demanding lifts. As teaching artists, this translates to the ability to impart lessons of respect, consent, body positivity, and acceptance through a uniquely qualified lens.
