Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?

Barre Nor Cal is a ballet-based cardio workout using isometric and compound movements that’s high-energy and low-impact and targets all of your major muscle groups. Our mission is to help clients become fit and healthy with an effective full-body, 60-minute workout in a fun, safe and welcoming environment. We also hope to inspire fitness, a sense of community and a healthy lifestyle among our teachers and clients. I would say that the business found me as much as I found it. My journey began in 2010 in San Francisco, where I was working in the corporate world in fashion and looking for a way to stay in shape. I come from a dance background and never fit in at traditional gym settings. I had been taking a few dance classes a month for fun, but needed something I could do regularly to stay fit. I lived near a barre studio, and for my birthday my fiancé gave me a one-month unlimited membership to try it out. I was in love after my first class! Shortly after, I began teaching classes for a franchise barre company on the side. Over the years, I craved being at the barre studio more than at my desk job. In 2015, I made the leap and left my corporate career to create my own version of barre—combining traditional barre movements with my own dance influences. I’m so happy for the opportunity to share my love of barre and help individuals become fit and flexible!
