Abstract
Dancers require increasing core strength as well as maintaining proper body composition to maintain good physical performance. The objective is to establish the effect of a Pilates method program on core strength and body composition in university dancers. A quantitative study was carried out, pre-experimental with pre-test and post-test. The results obtained show that the dancers studied do not present cardiovascular risk and with respect to the strength of the central zone, it increased significantly. It is concluded that a program of the pilates method of 8 weeks duration positively influences the strength of the core zone.
