Curious about barre, but not quite sure how or where to start? Well, Chelsea’s Barre Workshop is for you! It’s designed for beginners who want to understand the basics and fundamentals of barre, while still being perfectly suited to anyone wanting to refine their form and technique.

Chelsea’s calm, encouraging and knowledgeable approach makes learning fun, empowering and accessible to all; no dance background required! As a qualified barre instructor with years of experience, Chelsea knows exactly how to guide you through each movement safely and effectively. In this intimate, in-person setting, she’ll walk around to offer personal corrections, demonstrate proper form, answer all your questions and ensure you leave feeling confident, capable and inspired.

Form is everything in barre; it’s what transforms small, subtle movements into powerful, sculpting results! Because barre is so precise, the tiniest adjustment in posture or alignment can either maximise your progress or completely compromise your results.

The techniques and insights you’ll gain here won’t just elevate your barre practice; they’ll enhance your performance in any future barre-related workout classes, whether it’s bounti Barre or Barrelates! Here’s a glimpse of what she’ll cover:

• Postural Alignment: Learn how to find and maintain the ideal posture to protect your joints, activate your core and move efficiently.
• Core Engagement: Discover how to properly switch on and stabilise your core; the foundation of every barre movement.
• Turnout and Hip Placement: Understand safe turnout mechanics to improve your leg lines, mobility and lower body strength.
• Grip and Release Techniques: Master how to engage and release muscles intentionally to avoid overuse or strain.
• Tempo and Musicality: Get comfortable moving with rhythm, pace and precision to get the most out of each sequence.
• Balance and Control: Build awareness and stability to move gracefully and confidently through transitions.
• Breathwork in Barre: Explore how mindful breathing enhances strength, control and endurance throughout your practice.

This workshop is the perfect blend of learning and movement, empowering you to step into your next barre class with ease and understanding! Whether you’re brand-new to barre or simply want to perfect your technique, Chelsea’s guidance will leave you feeling stronger, more in tune with your body, and ready to fall in love with barre.
