Candice Thompson began her Pilates journey as a young dancer, and continued her study at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, under Pilates elder, Kathleen Stanford Grant. After dancing with Milwaukee Ballet Company for five years, she returned to NYC and came to BodyTonic in 2006 as a client.

She completed her Pilates Teacher Training at BodyTonic in 2009, under the direction of Jennifer DeLuca (Romana Kryzanowska) and Caitlin Cook (Madeline Black). Since then, she has received certifications in Gyrotonic Expansion System® and Redcord®, along with advanced anatomy training through the Harkness Center for Dance Injuries.

Her teaching style combines the practical and aspirational aspects of Pilates, embodied so beautifully by the knowledgeable staff and dedicated clients at BodyTonic.

Candice enjoys offering the self-discovery inherent in the Pilates method, a process that has kept her coming back to her own Pilates practice for over two decades. When she is not at the studio, Candice is writing about dance, doing something creative with her hands, and enjoying family time with a precocious preschooler.
