WHY TRAIN WITH FIREFLY?
Our unique barre training is designed to prepare you for teaching barre classes from the ground up.
This in-studio training is appropriate for anyone with an interest in teaching barre and a desire to make a positive impact on the lives of others. Whether you are a current movement instructor or have little experience, this program will guide you to become an inspiring and effective barre instructor that incorporates an immersive perspective, with a dynamic and engaging class.
The two weekend training is intentionally spread out, allowing time for you to integrate, practice, ask questions, and receive guidance as you prepare yourself for teaching.
Throughout the program you will be supported by your lead trainers: Jen Muffett and Abbey Weston, who have over 15 years of combined teaching experience, as well as a number of guest instructors who will be teaching specific segments.
We’ll examine everything from the anatomical foundation of the exercises, language and cueing, to the creation of a jaw dropping playlist. You’ll be supported and encouraged to think critically and creatively about how to craft a barre class that reflects your unique values and goals as a teacher, while being prepared to teach this adaptable modality responsibly and safely. We believe that this is a movement practice for every body and are excited to help guide you in your journey.
