Send us a text


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.
