Barre is a fun class with upbeat music that incorporates ballet barres. It perfectly combines ballet, strength, and flexibility in a cardio format without jumping or impact on the joints.

Certified in Pilates and Barre, the teachers use Pilates alignment principles to ensure you get a safe and challenging workout. Light weights (with high reps) or resistance bands are used to sculpt the arms and upper body; ballet barres are used to sculpt the legs and glutes and to execute cardio intervals; and mat Pilates work is used to strengthen the abdominals. Your booty will remember this class for days, months, or forever! Get ready to move, sweat, burn, and have fun!
