About Willa

Hi, I’m Willa! My Pilates journey began after a dance injury when I fractured two bones in my foot (oops!). While recovering in physical therapy, I was introduced to the reformer and instantly fell in love with the method. Fast forward to November 2023, I joined Club Pilates working at the front desk and quickly knew I wanted to deepen my practice. I then enrolled in teacher training in the summer of 2024. I bring over a decade of experience as a professional dancer. I earned my BFA in Dance from Wright State University and performed with the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company from 2018–2024. Now, I teach at two local dance studios and recently wrapped up my first semester as ballet professor at Sinclair Community College. When I’m not teaching dance or Pilates, I’m probably working on my latest embroidery project (yes, I lead classes for that too!). My Pilates classes are a fun mix of movement and music, where you’ll hear everything from oldies and yacht rock to 90s jams. I can’t wait to help you feel stronger, more balanced, and maybe leave with a new favorite song. See you in class!
