BARRE ANSWERS & QUESTIONS
-
Our studio doors open 15 minutes before starting time. Arrive at least 10 minutes before class to leave time for check-in, settling, getting familiar with the studio and your instructor. Make sure to bring water, a towel that is big enough to cover your mat ( ≡ mandatory, comfortable & clean) and wear an outfit of choice. We’ll bring the vibes.
-
BASE —Barre fundamentals with a focus on alignment, control and muscular endurance.
Perfect for first-timers.BLEND — Barre, Pilates and Strength commence in a balanced, high frequent and ignited full-body class combining precision, flow and functional resistance.
BUILD — Mat training combining weighted advanced standalone barre movements, increased resistance, props and power-driven sequences.
Not sure where to begin? BASE is always your best bet.

We are not the police so you’ll be fine at any barre business while sticking to the basics :
∴ Be on time - we wouldn’t want you to miss the banter.
∴ Lock your stuff away in the designated areas
∴ Phones are not a class prop - there is a time and a place for everything
∴ Respect the space and the people in it.
∴ Pace yourself, come back in one piece & never stop moving completely. -

BARRE BAZAAR is home to two unique movement spaces:
⌖ THE BLOCK
Where you can experience BASE and BLEND. This space contains barres additional to having mirrors.⌖ THE BAY
Home of BUILD. This space has mirrors, holds the equipment ánd functions as pathway to the front desk, the changing room, bathrooms and entrance/exit -
Our changing room, showers and studio exit are located on opposite sides of THE BAY.
To get there, all members pass through THE BAY. That's why we've designed our class schedule with studio flow in mind—to keep everyone's experience smooth, safe and uninterrupted.
-
To respect the instructor, the music and everyone's focus, you can't. We ask that members avoid walking through THE BAY while a BUILD class is in session.
If you need assistance, we will happily help you.
-
The easiest time to shower is after the final BUILD class of the morning or evening, when studio traffic is at its quietest. If classes are held in THE BLOCK while you are getting ready in the changingroom or come back from the shower; please be considerate.
If you've joined a BASE or BLEND class before a BUILD session, you may notice a short pause while THE BAY transitions into class mode.
-
Because every great story deserves a strong ending.
BUILD is our signature strength concept and the final chapter of the BARRE BAZAAR experience. Ending the day in THE BAY creates a calmer flow for everyone, gives members more time to recover, shower and connect, and allows every class before it to move seamlessly through the studio.
It's better for the experience and that's what we're all about.
-
BASE → Build your foundations.
BLEND → Find your rhythm.
BUILD → Finish strong.
THE BLOCK welcomes.
THE BAY brings it home.
