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.
Designed for Movers of All Backgrounds
Whether you’re a trained dancer, an athlete, or simply movement-curious, Pilobolus Continuum welcomes everyone ages 13 and up to explore and grow. This class is highly active and participant-driven—but no dance training is required. Everyone contributes to the creative process.
