Over 50s Barre

Age is just a number!

My Barre classes are open to all ages!

The over 50s Barre class may be slower paced and perfect for a Barre novice.

Private Barre Lessons

#goals

One to one barre lessons are a great way to reach your personal goals or perfect your technique.
Before a private class I will always offer a 15 minute phone consultation to ensure you get the full benefit from the class.
Examples of specifics you might like to work on:
*posture
*specific muscle groups
*strength
*flexibility
*postnatal issues such as abdominal separation
*barre exercises you can fit into your daily routine

These are just examples. There are many reasons you may want to book a private lesson. Don't hesitate to email me with any questions 😊

About Vicky

Hi! I'm Vicky, owner of Your Local Barre in Wagga.
Originally from Liverpool, England, I first moved down under in 2013. Ever since I was a little girl, I loved everything dance! I learnt very early into my teenaged years that the industry was very competitive. So with my not-so gracious frame, I decided to take up a career in dentistry instead!
I got my dance-fix as a hobbie in my spare time ever since! My favourite genres were street/hiphop/jazz/ballet.

In 2014, I discovered Barre and was absolutely amazed at what it did to my body! I felt lighter and toned within weeks. I particularly loved the use of the ballet barre and props to make each class unique and fun. The best part is: it suits all body types and ages.

Whilst I was pregnant with my little girl, I also undertook pre and post natal Barre training. I love how Barre is so versatile and the exercises can be modified to suit the individual. Join me at the Barre soon!....
