Hi my name is Mary Kate Essad. I am excited to be a Pilates Apprentice at Core Fit Pilates. I live in Germantown with my husband and two young children. I have a background in Irish Dance. I have Irish danced for over 12 yrs. I had the opportunity to compete in Feis, participated in performance troupes and was an instructor as well. Irish dance is a perfect fit with Pilates. It helps with balance, coordination, stamina and the mind and body connection. I am excited to incorporate my experience with Irish Dance and the love of Pilates with everyone at Core Fit. I look forward in meeting everyone soon.
