About

Through GYROTONIC®, Nellesa has seen the ways the technique can continually open and change the body on many levels. Nellesa credits a GYROKINESIS® and Pilates practice with helping her maintain a well-functioning body throughout the demands of dancing with a full-time company and being on tour.

She trained on full fellowship at the Alvin Ailey School and dance credits include Dallas Black Dance Theatre, Nathan Trice Rituals, Disney’s The Lion King and the MET. In addition to teaching private clients, she uses GYROTONIC® and Pilates principles to improve her dance students' understanding of technique in their bodies. She is a graduate of Harvard College with a BA in Psychobiology.

Nellesa is certified in GYROTONIC®, Jumping-Sliding Board, GYROTONER®, Archway, Leg Extension Unit, GYROKINESIS®, Power Plate®, and Pilates Mat from the Kane School.
