Now the first thing to tell you about this class is that its based in the DanceWorks Studio's, so that you don't have to do what I did on a wet Tuesday lunchtime where you run up and down the street looking for a (non existent) Xtend sign. The 2nd thing is that once you climb the two flights of stairs to the studio, you will then have to go back down three flights to find the changing rooms, and then all the way back up again to get back to class. So make sure that you leave enough time to do this little pre-workout first.
That said, once in class the stress whittles away and for 55 very perecious lunchtime minutes I once again became a version of my 7 year old ballerina self. Pirouettes, arabesques, first, second and third positions all came back to me as I practiced the all important "pulse" that is at the very core of the phenomenon of the Barre workout.
Having tried several of the Barrecore classes and studios I had assumed that all classes would be quite similar, but this one took me by surprise and I loved it. Taught by a beautiful American instructor with a striking resemblance to Nicole Scherzinger this class is 70 percent what I'd call "classic ballet" techniques and 30 percent stretch and Pilates techniques.
