Lavinia Magliocco trained at School of American Ballet and North Carolina School of the Arts. A diagnosis of Crohn_s Disease and inflammatory arthritis at age 18 halted her career as a dancer. After graduating college, invasive abdominal surgery, and a 7 year hiatus from dancing, she began studying Pilates. Within three years, she was back on stage, dancing with Cincinnati Ballet, New York's Metropolitan Opera Ballet, and appearing as a Principal Guest Artist with various companies throughout the East and Midwest. She taught ballet at Oregon Ballet Theatre School from 1998-2005, and has been teaching Pilates and Ballet since 1990.

Following residency, he completed a 1 year fellowship in Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Surgery where he was consulting orthopedist for North Carolina Dance Theatre.
