Pilates & Ballroom Dance

I'm watching, waiting and promoting Pilates for ballroom dancers, because the Pilates series of exercises is the best I have found for posture and strength. The latest pilatesstyle magazine article says, "Ballroom dancing requires strong, flexible feet, elegant carriage, and good balance. Pilates helps with all three."
Most of the article refers to the machines that Pilates instructors use to make the exercises easier. I'll check out the equipment so I can recommend to those of you who belong to a gym and adapt the instructions for mat work as well.
