Career Transition For Dancers is proud to announce a Power Pilates Matching Grant Project. Alexander J. Dubé, Career Transition For Dancers' Executive Director states, "We are thrilled that Power Pilates now offers a matching grant program in concert with the scholarships offered by Career Transition For Dancers to our dancer-clients. This grant program will match CTFD's grant, up to a maximum of $2,000, for enrollment in any Power Pilates certification program offered in more than forty US cities."

The certification programs currently offered by Power Pilates include Beginner Mat, Intermediate Mat, Advanced Mat, Tower, System 1, System 2 and Comprehensive. These certification programs are offered in New York as well as in 110 affiliates in the US, including training centers in LA and Chicago. More information about these programs, prerequisites, other requirements and schedules can be found on www.powerpilates.com/education.

"We at Power Pilates feel that it is both an obligation and an honor to support the dance community. Many of our top instructors have dance backgrounds and we welcome those dancers seeking to become Power Pilates instructors," says Dr. Howard Sichel, Chairman of Power Pilates.
Power Pilates is the leading classical Pilates education organization in the world, operating in eight countries with over 7,000 graduates. Their professional offerings include certification programs as noted above, continuing education and workshops.

Power Pilates also provides career counseling and job opportunities for its graduates.
