with Elly Lovin at PYP - DOWNTOWN

In this workshop we will dive into the origins of barre and compare and contrast barre fitness to how ballet dancers utilize the barre for their class warm ups, stretches and strengthening work. After a brief discussion, class will begin on a mat with breathing, joint mobilization and isolated muscle activation, drawing from dance kinesiology. Then we will use the barre to flow through a sequence of ballet-inspired warm up exercises, paying special attention to form and function that will complement and enhance your PYP barre practice. Class will transition to the center for low-impact, ballet-based cardio, utilizing the stability and balance practiced at the barre. We will cool down with both dynamic and static stretches.

Bring socks and comfortable layers to keep your muscles warm.

All bodies welcome-- no prior dance, ballet or barre experience necessary.
