Take a midday break and refresh your brain and body with this 45-minute ballet barre! We’ll begin with a short warmup, then progress through traditional ballet technique barre exercises. You’ll need some floor space and a “barre,” which could be a chair, counter, or railing that’s at a good height for you. This is an open level class, but participants should have some prior experience in ballet.
