Who we are

Barre is more than just a workout. At The Barre Room, we believe fitness should be empowering, enjoyable, and accessible to everyone.

Our group barre classes combine the grace of ballet with the intensity of strength training to create a unique workout experience

The Barre Room is a boutique studio where ballet-inspired movement meets modern strength. Founded by Stella Tsionis, we keep classes intimate so everyone gets precise coaching and real results. Each session blends controlled, dance based sequences with mindful stretch to build strength, length, and posture. Expect strong cores, better alignment, and a calmer mind without the high-impact chaos.

Our space is welcoming, our programming intentional, and our community genuinely supportive. Designed to be different, we help you feel taller, stronger, and in control..

Meet The Founder

From the age of six, Stella found herself drawn to the rhythm of dance. For years she moved with passion, until school life pulled her in a different direction at thirteen. Yet, the question of what could have been always lingered.

In 2022, she discovered a new path qualifying as a Personal Trainer and falling in love with the power of strength training. Guiding others toward their fitness goals became her purpose, but the spark of dance never left her heart.

By 2025, Stella brought her two worlds together. With a BARRE certification in hand, she returned to her first love, dance. This time with a mission: to help others feel stronger, more confident, and empowered through every movement.

Now, when Stella teaches barre, it’s more than a class. It’s a story of strength, grace, and coming full circle.

 FAQs

    flexibility. The main focus of barre is on isometric exercises, which are often done on a ballet barre. These

    exercises include lunges, curtseys, arabesques, pliés, and ballet squats. Barre is an excellent method to

    tone, strengthen, and improve flexibility from head to toe.

    athletes. Our instructors provide modifications for every exercise, ensuring everyone can participate

    for better stability. We provide all equipment including light weights, resistance bands, and yoga mats.

    Just bring water and a positive attitude!

    improved posture and strength within the first few weeks, with more significant changes in muscle tone

    and flexibility after 4-6 weeks of consistent practice.

  • Barre combines the precision of ballet, the strength of Pilates, and the flexibility of yoga. The small,

    controlled movements target specific muscle groups to create long, lean muscles while improving posture,

  • Many people wonder about the difference between Pilates vs Barre. Both are fantastic workouts that

    provide a slew of physical and mental benefits, but there are some differences between them.

    Pilates and barre are both great exercises, but there are some key differences between them.

    The most significant distinction between these two types of exercise is muscle use. Barre frequently

    emphasizes working single body parts with little, repetitive movements. Pilates, on the other hand,

    requires the entire body for each movement.

    Another difference between Pilates and barre is the equipment used. A Pilates class uses a mat or

    reformer machine, whereas barre classes make use of a ballet barre for balance.
