Effervescence and community at Barre & Bubbles on a flower farm. No experience needed, just the desire to move before enjoying some much-needed social interaction! Bring a friend or make some new ones at a joyful total body barre class in the Barn at Broadturn Farm. The doors will be open, providing a nice airy space wherein folks will be able to amply spread out, safely, to enjoy the class and the happy hour to follow. Following your class, a local wine distributor will pour a rewarding flight of bubbles. Chefs Mercedes Laboa of Solo Italiano will match the bubbles with some appropriate noontime nibbles to further the ride your endorphins will be on!
About the Class and your Teacher
Inspired by classical ballet, Pilates, yoga and functional movement, Barre enhances your mind-body connection, refines your movement quality and builds strength, balance and grace from the inside out. Open to all movers--no dance or barre class experience necessary. BYO yoga mat and a pair of regular (not grippy) socks.
