Experience Barre!
We are very excited to pilot a new class, Barre, that will be offered this Fall. Barre utilizes a fusion of dance, Pilates and Yoga to focus on isolating specific muscle groups and elevating the heart rate for a total body workout. This 45-minute class utilizes a ballet barre, light hand weights, resistance bands, a ball and the Pilates ring for added strength training. No previous dance experience required. Minimalist socks or bare feet are suggested.

Starting June 29, classes will occur on the SRC main level in the stretching/core area on Mondays from 4:30 – 5:15 PM and on Wednesdays from 6:30 – 7:15 PM. Due to space, class is limited to a small group of participants. Get there early – it is first-come, first-serve.
