Dana Cygan-Nehs

Dana played sports since the age of 5 and then 10 years ago became a Lindy Hop/Swing instructor and performer and has taught and performed throughout the Midwest including Dance Chicago as well as performing with an all girl Latin Dance troupe. As her love of dance sprouted she began taking ballet, jazz and modern dance classes through a scholarship she received from the famous Joel Hall Dance Studio in Chicago. After suffering from numerous sports and dance injuries through the years and going through physical therapy in 2001, she decided to learn more about body movement and was introduced to Pilates. Dana started practicing Pilates in 2002 and having experienced all of the healing benefits became certified in August 2004 through Power Pilates. Being Beginner and Intermediate Mat certified and helping her students attain their goals for 4 years she decided to take it to the next level and became Equipment Certified.  After a long day sitting at a desk Dana enjoys sharing her passion for Pilates and fitness and helping people feel better and get stronger.
