Darla Jentzsch

I am a Dance and Exercise Therapist passionate about movement. I opened Darla's Pilates Studio Ltd. in 2002 and have a track record of helping others to achieve peak performance and rehabilitation success. As a dancer, I have experience in longevity in my dance career through Pilates and enjoy empowering others to achieve the same. I specialize in injury prevention, rehabilitation and ideal alignment for dancers. I received my Masters in Dance Education in December 2021 focusing on dancers benefits of proper alignment and Dance Education in the K-12 school system. I strongly believe dance has a place in the school system bringing communities together, educating kinesthetically while adding an artistic need to curriculum. I am also a dedicated Cancer Exercise Therapist and Peak Performance Athletic Trainer helping others to achieve ideal health and performance goals.
