Kelsey Lewinski is a Wayne State graduate with a BFA in Dance. Kelsey graduated in 2018 and proceeded to tour and dance professionally for the critically acclaimed contemporary company, Eisenhower Dance Detroit, for 3 seasons. Kelseys Pilates journey began in high school as she had weekly reformer sessions with her mom to aid in the healing process of a dance-related hip injury. Then, while in college in 2016, Kelsey took her first Stott Pilates matwork course. Over the span of her college career and while dancing professionally, Kelsey received her full STOTT PILATES® Level 1 Certification (Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair & Barrels).

Kelsey has since taught at the nationally recognized Equilibrium Pilates Studio in Bloomfield Hills as well as taught matwork at Equinox for upwards of 6 years. Kelsey still teaches dance, judges dance competitions nationally and choreographs in addition to teaching Pilates full time. 

Opening Studio Kore was the perfect combination of Kelseys passions for movement, entrepreneurship and creativity. She can’t wait to see how the studio grows!

Steph grew up in the metro Detroit area, but left for the south to pursue her undergraduate studies at Duke University. After graduating, she moved to Chicago, where she found movement and Pilates as a great way to build community in a new city. This inspired her to pursue the Classical Pilates Formula comprehensive certification program at Fitness Formula Clubs in Chicago, IL. When she moved back to Michigan, Stephanie knew she wanted to continue cultivating playful spaces for people to move and feel better in their bodies.

When she’s not teaching Pilates, Stephanie is studying for her Masters in Public Health, solo traveling to a new country, or editing a TikTok.
