REACH Ballet Inspired! with Kari Anderson

Week of June 14, 2025

REACH™
This flowing mix of ballet-inspired movement and fitness training is a deep-felt energetic method of improving balance, stability, total body strength, flexibility and posture. REACH™ combines a mix of training techniques for a unique challenge and an ultimate release of energy all it’s own.

REACH THE BARRE™
This is the popular REACH class utilizing the Barre for added support, ROM, confidence and use of small equipment.  The secret to achieving a dancers strength is in how the exercise sequencing targets specific muscle groups, isometrically and dynamically, with a philosophy of learning paths to “pure technique”. 

CARDIO DANCE
When exercise feels like a dance party. This all-cardio workout still lives on from the BOOM days of aerobics. Choreography builds throughout the workout with full body movement combined with the performance influences of dance. Bring your personal style to the floor!
