What is barre?

Barre is a workout technique inspired by elements of ballet, dance and Pilates, that focuses on low-impact, high intensity movements designed to strengthen and tone your body. It’s designed to be a full-body workout broken into different sections that focus on major muscle groups including the arms, thighs, glutes, and core, working the muslces through small targeted movements, high repetition, and light weight or resistance.

What is the barrecontrol™ method?

barrecontrol™ is unique in its focus on the quality of the movements performed at the barre and on the floor and as such delivers outstanding results for our clients and our teachers. You begin your barrecontrol™ session by being taken through the key elements of ballet technique as taught to professional dancers. This allows you to truly understand the intricacies of the ballet technique and it is this attention to detail that delivers the perfect ballet posture and body that barrecontrol™ delivers.
barrecontrol™ is a lot more than just a barre workout, it is a way of life. It will teach you to not only look better from the ballet body point of view, but to hold yourself with the poise and confidence of professionally trained dancers and pilates teachers all over the world

Module 6: Hip and back flows Approx. viewing time 30 minutes Fire up those glutes as barrecontrol™ hits the hip and back to get a toned, sculpted and ballet ready bottom, thighs, waist and lower back. Become stronger and more stable through these key areas of posture and movement control and continue your path to the ballet body.
