About This Class

Barre fitness is a super-energising, full-body workout that's great for everyone, from beginners to pros. It is a hybrid ballet fitness class that involves performing small, isometric movements on the barre & centre, using only bodyweight as resistance. 

During this full-body workout we build on alignment, strengthen your core, burn calories and tone & elongate muscles.

Our weekly classes are taught by qualified RAD ballet teachers from the Dublin City Ballet School.

Class consists of a short warmup, barre work then into the centre for some quick cardio & it finishes off with a cool-down. 

Ballet is excellent for improving posture, flexibility, co-ordination, muscle strength and toning. Barre Fitness in particular strengthens and tones all leg muscles, abdominal muscles and gluteus.

About Rebecca

Rebecca O’Brien Taylor started her ballet journey at 3 years of age. Over her 20 years of dancing, her love for ballet grew & she completed all of her ballet grade and vocational level examinations with Distinction.

During this time, Rebecca went on to complete her Ballet Teacher Training in 2008 through the Royal Academy of Dance, London. She fully qualified in 2011 with Distinction and has since worked for one of the largest ballet schools in Ireland, as well as spending many years teaching abroad in renowned ballet schools across the UAE and Australia.
​
Rebecca's love of teaching ballet prompted her to start her own school in 2017, The Dublin City Ballet School for children & adults. Her passion to bring the joy of ballet & dance to children with additional needs, prompted her to continue her studies in the area of special education. In 2018 she travelled to LA to further her expertise in the area of inclusive dance. As a result she now offers “Free 2 Be Me Dance” specialised dance classes for children and teens with additional needs.
