The Foundation of Great Teaching
This immersion is about more than memorizing exercises or learning choreography. It's about understanding why we move the way we do, how to lead with confidence, and how to create an experience that leaves people feeling stronger - both physically and mentally.Throughout this training, you'll develop the foundational skills to lead safe, effective, and engaging barre classes while learning how to communicate clearly, lead with purpose, and connect authentically with every participant.
behind the program
meet andrea
Hi, I'm Andrea. I'm the studio owner of Pure Barre Vermont, where I've invested the past 11+ years teaching thousands of classes and mentoring new teachers as they step into the world of barre. What began as a passion for movement has grown into a deep love for serving others and helping them discover their own confidence - not just as students, but as leaders.Beyond the studio, I'm also a meditation coach and educator who believes the best teachers teach with both knowledge and presence. My goal isn't simply to help you learn exercises; it's to help you become the kind of teacher who makes people feel challenged, supported, and inspired every time they walk into class.I'm so excited to share this experience with you and honored to help you build a strong foundation that will serve you wherever your teaching journey takes you.
program overview
what you'll learn
The Barre Teacher Immersion is a two-day, hands-on training designed for anyone curious about becoming a more confident, impactful barre teacher. Together, we’ll explore the five pillars of exceptional teaching - structure, movement, communication, connection, and presence - and put each one into practice through supported teaching, coaching, and feedback.You’ll break down full-body class design, understand the formula behind a well-balanced class experience, and learn how each section works together to create an effective workout for both the body and mind. We’ll refine cueing and coaching, identify common postural misalignments, practice safe and effective hands-on connections, and develop the skills to work confidently with a variety of bodies.Just as importantly, we’ll focus on who you are in the room as a teacher. How you show up, communicate, lead, and connect can shape the entire client experience. You’ll have the opportunity to practice these skills in real time, receive meaningful feedback, and begin developing your own authentic presence at the front of the room.While Pure Barre’s official technique certification is a separate, comprehensive 100-hour certification program and significant investment, this immersion offers an accessible foundation for those interested in exploring more of what barre teaching has to offer. After completing the immersion, participants may choose to pursue opportunities teaching barre at UVM, become more involved with the Pure Barre Vermont community, receive 1:1 mentorship, or explore the longer-term pathway toward official Pure Barre teacher training.This immersion is where the journey begins.
