Original Barre
About the Class
Experience the foundation of barre fitness with the Original Barre Method, a dynamic and precise workout inspired by the pioneering techniques of Lotte Berk. This class blends elements of ballet, Pilates, and rehabilitative exercises to sculpt, strengthen, and lengthen muscles while improving flexibility and posture. Rooted in Berk’s original methodology, this class focuses on small, controlled movements, targeted muscle engagement, and deep core activation, delivering a low-impact yet highly effective full-body workout. Expect a challenging yet graceful session that promotes endurance, alignment, and a mind-body connection. Whether you're new to barre or a seasoned practitioner, this class will leave you feeling empowered, energized, and strong. All levels welcome. No prior dance experience required.
