Sonia Orevillo
Sonia has been a professional dancer and has been teaching dance for over 38 years.
She holds an MA in Dance Studies from Laban Centre for Movement and Dance London, England and a Teacher Certification with the Royal Academy of Dance UK.
She discovered Pilates when she was searching for a conditioning method that would help her dancers enhance their dancing with less or no injuries. With that tenet she found Romana's Pilates (trained with Romana Kryzanowska and her daughter Sari Mejia Santo) and discovered that the Pilates Method of Body Conditioning encompasses helping all bodies to strengthen, lengthen and prevent injuries. Henceforth her new vocation!
She has been doing Pilates for over 15 years and got her Certification from Romana's Pilates in the year 2000. Her objective is to disseminate the immense results of this method as it has changed her life totally.
MORE ABOUT SONIA
Sonia started her dance training in the Philippines and continued in London under Ruth French (a former dancer of Anna Pavlova's Dance Company) and Alex Morrow with the Royal Academy of Dance.
Upon her return to the Philippines, she danced professionally with Ballet Federation of the Philippines and Dance Theatre Philippines. Simultaneously she took her Bachelor's Degree in Accounting (cum laude) and went on to be a Certified Public Accountant.
Her love for teaching started when her British teachers made her a student teacher while she was training in their school. She religiously kept on teaching while she was dancing professionally. When she retired as a dancer she pursued this passion by teaching for the various dance companies in the Philippines such as Dance Theatre Philippines, Philippine Ballet Theater and Ballet Philippines. She eventually became the companies' Ballet and Rehearsal Master and later on became their Associate Artistic Director. Eventually, she opened her own Dance School – Dance Centre Philippines. She was invited to be the Director/Organizer for the Royal Academy of Dance-UK for the Philippines. At the same time she became a Senior Lecturer then an Assistant Professor in the Dance Program for the University of the Philippines – where she co-founded and became the co-Artistic Director of the University of the Philippines Dance Company. She became responsible in bringing the company to Dance Festivals in Asian countries.
When she moved to the US, she started taking Pilates classes as part of her intention in seeking other methods to strengthen bodies. She went through the intensive Certification Program under Romana's Pilates under the tutelage of Romana Kryzanowska, who is a Pilates elder and a protégé of Joseph Pilates, and Romana's daughter -Sari Mejia Santo.
Before she opened her studio she taught for Center for Movement in Scarsdale, Premiere Physical Therapy and Wellness in NYC, Movement Place in Upper Montclair NJ and The Pilates Method in Greenwich, CT.
