Today we’d like to introduce you to Olga Roberts.
Hi Olga, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I always had a deep passion and love for ballet. Starting at the age of three I began my ballet lesson with wonderful teachers who inspired me to become a professional ballerina. At the age 12 I was encouraged to participate in regular Pilates lesson designed for dancers. The combination of ballet and Pilates remained part of my daily routine to this day.
I later attended prestigious ballet schools in London and completed my professional ballet training as a ballerina. I dance with ballet companies in Europe and Australia.
During my ballet training and profession ballet career I continued to complete my master Pilates training with several incredible 2nd generation Teachers.
During this time I developed “Refined Pilates” a method that combines advanced Pilates techniques with ballet movements to enhance strength and alignment for dancers and athletes.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It was always a challenge to find great Teachers and mentors who shared my passion for ballet and Pilates. I was very fortunate to find all the wonderful ballet and Pilates teachers during my critical training years. They shared their incredible skills and knowledge with me.
Profession level ballet and Pilates requires countless hours and years of dedicated practice. Raw talent is not enough.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Having developed “Refined Pilates” I was able to train dancers, athletes, and professional teachers from all over the world. This has helped them achieve outstanding performance results with no injuries. I have shared my method with many Orthopedic and Physical Therapisand dance specialist throughout my career.
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
My focus on precision through mindful discipline is what make me successful. I am very meticulous with my approach to ballet and Pilates. Great form and precision leads to wonderful results.
