A classical ballet barre transposed to the floor. We work seated, lying on the back, and on the stomach to refine alignment, turnout, core support and long lines with low joint load—directly on hardwood (no mats/props required).

No. We practise directly on hardwood to keep clear tactile feedback. You can opt to bring a small towel or mat to put just under your hips/pubic area if you are sensitive, but a large yoga mat may get in the way! Socks are required.

Socks + long leggings/tights or yoga-type pants (so you can slide comfortably). Bring a small towel if your hips are sensitive.

Anyone ages 16 and up who are looking for low-impact exercise, and to gain improved posture, flexibility, muscle length and strength. If you enjoy exercise such as yoga or pilates, but want something that feels more like dancing, barre au sol is for you! These classes are especially helpful for those with a passion for dance, who are looking to improve their foundation technique or increase their abilities as a dancer, such as: adult beginners, returning dancers, professionals and everyone in between.
