ABOUT RAISE THE BARRE
​
​
​
No matter where you are in your fitness or dance journey, you can find a class to fit your needs.
​
Our Barre Fitness Classes are created to help people stay healthy and mobile. Class participants can expect to improve their balance and posture, increase flexibility, and gain strength. With heart pumping music and a positive atmosphere, this class is a fun way to burn off stress.
​
Raise the Barre is also a ballet focused studio. Our ballet classes are created to help dancers learn both the technical and artistic aspects of ballet. These classes offer a low pressure, nurturing environment that creates a safe, fun space to explore the joy of dance. Our classes are built around both traditional and modern ballet, incorporating both classical and main stream music for a well rounded experience. The year end recital is unlike most. Since we are a ballet only studio, our performance is based around a story. The production is much like a play, only instead of the story being told by speaking actors, the story is told through dance.

Not your average dance studio.

Hello, I'm so glad you're here!
I've been interested in dance and fitness my whole life and I'm excited to share my passion with you!
​
I started dancing at 4 years old and knew that I wanted to be dance teacher very early on. I was trained by multiple dance schools, with a focus on ballet. I was able to teach for a number of years, but had to step away for a time due to life changes and to work for our family business (A-TIP Control, Inc.). My husband and I welcomed our wonderful daughter into our life in 2016. Our life has changed once again now that our daughter is in school, and I wanted to pick my dream back up and bring dance back into my life. I also wanted to diversify and offer fitness classes as well, so I earned my Master Barre Instructor Certification from the American Barre Technique.
​
I can't wait to meet you and I look forward to seeing you in class!
