Free Barre & Sculpt Class
2025-09-09 18:00 - 19:00, 2025-09-23 18:00 - 19:00 | Fort Ritchie Community Center, 14421 Lake Royer Drive, Cascade, MD, United States
Barre and Sculpt is a low-impact combo class for all levels that will give you the perfect mix of barre (ballet-inspired, but NOT a dance class) and lean muscle sculpt similar to Pilates. This workout focuses on high repetitions and small, isometric movements using tools like light hand weights, the mini ball, mini bands, and very often, just your bodyweight. The motivating playlists will push you to get lower and dig deeper in small movements that bring on the “shake” + large movements that increase your power. You’ll walk out of class feeling stronger, toned, definitely sweaty, and accomplished.
