Group Fitness Teacher Training Workshops
Barre Teacher Training
The Barre Teacher Immersion is a two-day, hands-on training designed for anyone curious about becoming a confident and impactful barre teacher. Participants will learn the five pillars of exceptional teaching - structure, movement, communication, connection, and presence - before putting those skills into action through supported teaching practice and feedback. After completing the immersion, participants may choose to pursue opportunities teaching barre at UVM, become more involved with the Pure Barre Vermont community, or explore the longer-term pathway toward official Pure Barre teacher training. This immersion is where the journey begins.
