Our method focuses on a functional and integrated approach to the fusion of dance conditioning, Pilates, and yoga training. This is a movement practice for every body. Whether you are looking to start a new career, supplement an existing one with a practical and dynamic skill set, or simply want to improve your practice by deepening your understanding of barre from the inside out, this program will give you the tools you need. This is the 5th year that we are teamed up with the re:form team of experts on coaching!

Program structure:
This 125 hour program will give students an immersive perspective on what makes a barre class dynamic, effective, and fun!

Scholarship information
re:form's scholarship and financial aid programs are intended to remove financial barriers to becoming a movement instructor. We do not take lightly the personal and financial commitments involved in beginning a career in movement instruction, and want to create better access to this deeply rewarding path. We realize there can be many reasons why an individual may hesitate, or be unable, to enroll in teacher training programs, and this scholarship program aims to address some of those issues in order to facilitate more diverse and equitable access to this type of training.
With this in mind, up to one partial scholarship (75% tuition relief) funded by re:form and BECYCLE/BEYOND is available for a member of this training cohort. This stipend includes the cost of required class packs at BECYCLE/BEYOND studios, but does not include any travel or logistical costs incurred to attend the program.
Scholarship award is need and merit based, and intended for individuals whose unique perspective and life experience will enrich the culture and mindset of this cohort, and add to the possibility that diverse communities see themselves represented more consistently in the fitness and movement industry.
The application deadline for financial aid for the Fall 2025 125-Hour Barre Teacher Training is June 1, 2025. Any financial aid recipient(s) will be notified by August 1st.
