KT Williams
Coming out of the 500 hour Balanced Body Comprehensive Pilates Program, KT values a more holistic and collaborative approach to teaching and looks forward to bridging her vast experiences with dance and mindful movement into her Pilates teaching.
KT is a contemporary dancer, choreographer, and dance educator in the Chicago area. She grew up dancing at the Academy of Movement and Music in Oak Park, IL, and began taking mat Pilates classes to supplement her dance training during high school. She earned a BFA in Dance from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and her MFA in Dance/Choreography from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Her expertise is further enriched by her practice of Safety Release Technique, a somatic movement application created and developed by B.J. Sullivan that emphasizes the interconnectedness of spine, breath and movement.
This technique complements her teaching style, allowing her to guide students through the process of releasing tension and improving their overall movement quality. Currently teaching at the College of DuPage and leading various contemporary dance workshops in the Chicago area, KT is dedicated to fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment. She believes in the power of movement as a tool for self-discovery and expression, and she strives to inspire her students to explore their bodies mindfully and creatively. By bridging her experiences and knowledge from both dance and Pilates, KT aims to cultivate a deeper understanding of movement, encouraging her students to embrace their unique journeys in the dance and Pilates communities.
