Comprehensively trained through Balanced Body and Physical Mind with over eight years of private and group instruction on Mat and Apparatus, Kerry Ratza is focused on the crux of Classical and Contemporary Pilates methods and how each can be combined and adapted to the individual. Specializing in dance technique and pain relief has also informed Kerry's teaching as well as motherhood and a life of constant physicality. Kerry is continuing training in the Classical Method through Metropolitan Pilates in Seattle and has instructed in her own studio for 3 years. She holds a B.A in Performance from New College of California, San Francisco and studied ballet and modern dance at Columbia College, Chicago. Kerry also performs contemporary improvisation solo roles with San Juan Island's only professional dance company, Le Danse et La Mer.
