The method developed by Joseph Pilates had strong impact on American dance professionals, both in its practice and in its spreading to the general community and other cultures. This study looks into how Cecy Franck’s relationship with the Pilates Method influenced its introduction in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. This is a qualitative study under the theoretical and methodological approach of oral history, using interviews as its main tool for collecting information. Looking at the development of the interviewees’ professional careers, their testimonials and existing information about the development of the Pilates Method in Brazil, we found that her work influenced its spreading.
