Floor Barre is an excellent exercise that uses ballet technique as its base and is suitable for everyone.

Most of the class happens on the floor and it is great for strengthening muscles, toning and sculpting.

This 7-week week course will be taught by two incredible dancers; Vasiliki Stasinaki and Michael McEvoy. This will give students the opportunity to learn from two professional dancers.
