Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT)

Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) is an innovative fitness method designed specifically for dancers. Its main objective is to improve technique, alignment and body control through the development of muscle memory. At Factory Ballet Madrid, we integrate this system as a fundamental part of our training, providing our students with professional tools to enhance their artistic performance.

What is PBT?

Created by Marie Walton-Mahon, the PBT method is based on floor exercises that strengthen the core using stability balls, resistance bands, and controlled movements. It trains the body to perform dance movements with greater precision and flow.

PBT is more than a physical workout — it is a system that enhances body awareness, improves postural alignment, prevents injuries, and strengthens the connection between mind and body. It’s an ideal technique for ballet, contemporary, jazz, and musical theatre students.

Benefits of PBT classes

  • Development of dance-specific muscle memory

  • Improved balance, coordination, and posture

  • Increased core, back, and leg strength

  • Enhanced focus and neuromuscular control

  • Injury prevention for dancers at all levels

  • Suitable for beginners and professionals

  • Children and teenagers in academic dance training

  • Adults seeking better body conditioning

  • Professional dancers wanting to improve performance

  • Students of ballet, contemporary, jazz, or musical theatre
