[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve taken and taught classes at Bar Method, independent studios, and am now a client at Pure Barre. The teachers at Pure Barre don’t focus on correct form, for better or worse. I know people who have tried BM are turned off by all of the corrections but if im paying that much money for a class I want to get the most out of it!

For those of you who are trying barre for the first time I would recommend asking the teacher to keep an eye on your form and offer corrections and also ask questions after class. The foundation of Barre is small, sharp movements. I see a lot of clients making big moves and flailing around and they’re wearing themselves out without getting the benefit of the workout. [/quote]

But how would we even know if the teachers are actually correcting our form? This is one of my top concerns. I need exercises to strengthen my core and have no idea what to look into.[/quote]

I would tell the teacher before class that you’re new to barre and want form corrections. They will either come over next to you, move the mic,and give you a verbal correction while demonstrating next to you, or they may give you hands on corrections to help guide your body into proper form. If you are or are not ok with hands on, you should tell the teacher. Hands on will give you the best form but it also involves the teacher touching your body.

I would also recommend sending an email to the studio and asking which classes are taught by lead or senior teachers and also which classes tend to have lower attendance. I have found that newer teachers can be too distracted trying to remember choreography and don’t pay as much attention to client form. Also if there are fewer students in class you can usually get more attention from the instructor. [/quote]
