What the heck is barre, anyway?
What is barre, and more importantly, is it effective?
Barre is a mash-up of ballet, Pilates and yoga. Still confused? Let’s break that down.
Nope. No Dance Experience. Not a Dancer.
This is why at Groove Barre, we strongly emphasize NO DANCE EXPERIENCE required. It’s true that some of the moves we do are ballet inspired, but trust me, you do not need dance experience. Groove Barre is for the non-dancers, the dancers, and the secret dancers too.

Musings of a Fledgling Barre Boss
I f#cked up, I’m not sorry
These were the song lyrics that came blasting over my stereo this morning as I taught my group fitness cardio dance class. (Song’s called “I’m Not Sorry” by Hardwell if you want to look it up.) Turns out it’s a pretty catchy track that somehow escaped Spotify’s allow Explicit Content filter. Still my responsibility to know my music though, so my bad.
You are ready now.
I have been a group fitness instructor for almost 10 years, and I was never tempted to open my own studio. I’ve taught yoga for 5 years, and again, was never tempted to open my own studio. But then I discovered barre, and suddenly I caught the studio bug.
