This program is designed for certified YMCA cardio and weight training instructors who are beginning the mentored process of teaching Barre (ballet technique at the barre, with stocking feet). Also appropriate for instructors who are building back from injury/time off. The goal is to build tolerance in the feet, LPHC, and knees + develop proper posture & technique. A background in ballet is not required to teach Barre, however if this is the case, a history of weight training + Pilates is optimal for an understanding of tracking/placement of the joints. Y volunteers are well-trained, and encouraged to be curious and creative. A range competency in any number of exercise styles is assumed, and may include Yoga, Pilates, Spin, Step, MOSSA Group Power, Kickboxing, Cross-Fit, Zumba, Dance, and Weight Training. Barre classes are mapped out by YMCA program managers, and are not open to interpretation. Individual corrections are made through a period of mentorship, which may focus on unlearning or integrating other exercise styles in addition to the 55 minute choreography.
