Molly Reilly

Molly Reilly is a senior dance major with a physical therapy track concentration and a somatics minor. Her training began in New Jersey and combines influence from a variety of outlets, with ballet and modern concert dance at the forefront. Grounded in her technical training, starting at age 2 in New Jersey, Molly’s dance lens has evolved into a somatics-focused exploration, bringing deep physical awareness and creativity to her practice.  

While immersing herself in dance throughout Philadelphia and Drexel, Molly completed her 450-hour Classical Pilates Teaching Certification at Drexel University under the instruction of Jennifer Morley. Her project combines her dance education and Pilates teaching experience to question and investigate the impact of tactile feedback on movements of the classical method. Molly’s culminating project will be shared in the form of a research paper, presentation, and Q & A on May 16th at 6:30 pm in the URBN Annex Screening room.
