Raising the Barre

Got the winter blues? How about warming up and relaxing in a whirlpool with a glass of bubbly…after a 55-minute Barre Burner class at the WAC North Shore on February 25th at 6PM? Barre Burner is a total body workout that will lengthen, stretch, tone and sculpt your body using the ballet inspired movements. Afterwards, class participants will receive a glass of sparkling wine while soothing muscle tension and socializing in the WAC’s whirlpool. The whirlpool will be reserved for workshop participants only during this time. Don't miss this evening of toning, effervescence, and fun. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/barre-burner-and-bubbles-tickets-257634089497 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAJnpaFRrlw

What made you want to become a Barre Instructor?

I have a ballet, pom, and general dance background. When I started coming to the WAC, I would go straight to the barre and start recreating exercises from a fusion of past routines. One day I thought, “Hey, I think I can teach these exercises…people will dig them!”

What do you like about teaching barre at the North Shore WAC?

I get to be creative! I get to create exercises that use ballet-inspired movements to help members achieve long, lean, sculpted bodies. Moreover, I get to set those exercises to inspiring and fun music. I strongly believe that music elevates participants’ moods and motivates movement. I also appreciate that I am not required to stick to a corporate “script”, and I’m encouraged to let my personality shine through in my classes.

What sets your classes apart from other barre classes?

The WAC offers a variety of classes that target different areas of the body. My classes are geared primarily toward the lower body. I give workshops and themed class variations, such as music / holiday themed, introductory, or a class to celebrate International Women’s Day. It also happens to be the only barre class of its kind in Milwaukee with alternative and 80’s music!

What else can you tell me about yourself?

I’m passionate about music and I enjoy going to concerts. I love to travel; I’ve lived in Europe for five years and speak German. I provide consulting services for companies going through transformations. I live for the Wisconsin summers; I love just about everything that summer has to offer, including the humidity. I’m also a vegetarian, and I start every day with natural processed coffee from great local producers.

The WAC is OPEN!! Expect some changes with class offerings (mandatory sign-up online, size limitations, etc.) but you can count on some awesome barre classes to get you back in shape this summer! Starting to plan...stay tuned for more details...
