Adult Classes

​The Barre Dance and Fitness offers adult classes in levels for both new and experienced dancers. Unlike many other studios in the Rochester area, these classes are true “adult only” classes and are limited to dancers ages 18 and up so even as a beginner, you won’t find yourself at the barre next to the 5-year-old from down the street! Whether you're new to dance or you danced for years as a child and want to get back out on the floor, we have a program for you. Get started with our 2-Week Into Program for just $19.99!
