Netanel Bellaishe

 

Born and raised in Be’er Sheva, Israel. Netanel’s road to Pilates started with a long and fruitful career as a ballet dancer from a very young age. In Israel he was a member of four ballet companies, many theatre productions and a 'So You Think You Can Dance' Israel season winner.

 

In America he became a Broadway performer, toured with ‘A Chorus line’ Broadway National and was a company member of Aladdin on Broadway for 8 years. Throughout his career Pilates has always been the ultimate cross training of choice as well as a saving grace when rehabilitating from dance injuries.

 

Alongside his performing career Netanel has also been a ballet teacher for 20 years, which naturally led him to transition into teaching Pilates with great passion, putting emphasis on strength through length, flexibly paired with stability and of course, the joy of graceful and organic movement. 

 

Netanel received both his Pilates mat & equipment comprehensive certifications from Gramercy Pilates NYC Certification School.  Aside from his passion for teaching Pilates, he is also an avid teacher trainer, helping others become certified, passing on a deeper understanding of the original work and drawing upon his inherited knowledge  from the ballet world and performing arts.
