Graciela Kaplan

Member of the Pilates Foundation and formerly Principal Ballerina with Northern Ballet Theatre, Graciela has danced leading roles with major Ballet Companies all over the world.

Although as a Prima Ballerina she was familiar with the system it was while recovering from major knee surgery that the full effectiveness of the Pilates method was brought home to her by contributing enormously to her physical rehabilitation and return to her life as professional dancer.

She was so impressed  with its effectiveness that she determined to make its benefits available to a wider public. Since retiring from active dancing she has trained as a Pilates instructor and opened the Highfield Pilates Studio.
