Extracting every drop of grace and grit from the foundational principles of the Lotte Burke method, the Barre Above® certification additionally distills traditional class components through the most cutting-edge of exercise science.
Far from being only a dancer’s workout, the methodology remixes an artful blend of ballet, Pilates, yoga, and strength training movements into a signature sequence with purpose. This purpose is innately shared across diverse fitness levels, ages, and body types due to its progressions and choose-your-own-adventure approach to range of motion.
But it’s not just your students who will benefit from the adaptability. You’ll also appreciate the confidence gained from a proven formula paired with the freedom to unleash your own creativity–whether you want to a little or a lot.
Memorize a done-for-you class blueprint if you like. Or piece ideas together with the Barre Above® online exercise library. Or use the principles to lean into your own movement repertoire and design a class from scratch. Structure. Freedom. Function. This certification furnishes them all.
