20 Min Beginner Barre with Dansique Fitness
It's our last week of summer break! Classes start next Tuesday, so here's one last "at home" barre to get you through. This is an oldie (from back in 2018) but a goodie, from Desiree at Dansique Fitness. Desiree is a a former professional ballet dancer who is currently a ballet and Pilates instructor in New York City. She focuses her classes on the concept of healing movement. This is a great workout for those just starting ballet or for those with more experience. She targets the legs to tone, tighten, and sculpt those muscles. (You can also jump over to Desiree's YouTube Channel to check out her many Pilates follow-along videos.)
KEEP IT SAFE: Be aware of what your body can handle and skip or modify any movements that are not right for you. In particular, feel free to skip the grand plies, if your knees aren't up to the challenge.
