Meet the Educator

Alyssa Gregory’s Just the Barre is crafted for dancers with a strong background in ballet training. This 75-minute class focuses entirely on barre work, taking us back to the fundamentals of the technique. It’s a space to explore and work through the complex, layered relationship many of us have with taking ballet class. We’re not here to chase perfection or push for higher legs. Instead, we’ll return to ballet’s roots—embracing the power, grace, and precision of the art form—while working both our bodies and our minds. You can expect a few mental challenges to keep you sharp, but more than anything, we are here to have fun.

This class is ideal for those with a solid foundation in ballet technique who are ready to reconnect in a space that values you and where you are right now. We’ll break a sweat, laugh, feel strong and move to a playlist free of classical ballet music—because you can do rond de jambes to Waterfalls by TLC. Whether you're reigniting your passion for ballet or deepening your connection, Just the Barre is all about rediscovering the joy in the fundamentals and sharing the experience together. Let’s move!
