Dr. Kim Shemer Kurtzman came to Annapolis from New York City in 2013, where she'd spent the previous decade keeping the lights of Broadway bright. As director of Performing Arts Physical Therapy, Kim had the pleasure of treating and preventing injuries in actors, dancers and musicians at the top of their field. She has been the physical therapist for nearly 50 Broadway shows, as well as for the Rockettes at Radio City! Kim is also a 3rd-generation classical Pilates instructor, completing her training in 2008 from the New York Pilates Studio. There she taught weekly classes as the warm up for Broadway dancers and taught private lessons to dancers from the most elite companies such as Alvin Ailey and Paul Taylor Dance, as well as to many celebrities working on Broadway. She also teaches regular people like us too :). The main gift of Covid was it allowed Kim to move all her classes online, where participants log in from all over the country (one even from London)! She has found it most exciting to realize how well she can see body details and offer individual corrections to cue students in this virtual format. It is also so exciting to be able to teach this as a multilevel class, where participants of all levels of experience, fitness, age, and body type, can learn together to maximally benefit from this very important work. Kim teaches a virtual class 5 days per week, and offers pre-recorded videos. Learn more about her at www.kimkurtzmanpt.com
