Tuesdays 8-9:30PM (ongoing)

Beginner/Intermediate – Basic knowledge of Ballet preferred.

My goal is to create a challenging class in a safe, friendly, joyful environment. We focus on breath, mechanics, flexibility and strength while enjoying a good chuckle. (Laughter is great for the abdominals!) We may begin with Floor-Barre, we may end with a 7-minute ab blast and deep stretch but we will always move, sweat and have good time. 

A few adjectives and phrases that have been used by my Dancers to describe my classes… “delightful intensity” – “marvelously challenging” – “strengthening, affirming, safe-space” – “light-hearted, welcoming”- “essential” 

Total Beginners – I regularly organize and host Total Beginner Ballet workshops. Please reach out for more information.

*Floor-Barre™ is a ballet-based technique that sculpts the body, creating long, exquisite lines as the body’s physical structure is consistently centered, lengthened and strengthened. A wonderful technique to get you on your leg before ballet class!

Class Price: $25

about Desire

Greetings! I’m Desiré! 

I did not grow up dancing, but a deep love and passion for movement was always alive inside me. In my early 30s I took my first dance class in the style of ballroom. I learned very quickly that I had little control over my body so I began taking adult, beginner, ballet classes. I was instantly addicted. I took as many classes as I could and within a couple years, I was demonstrating, assisting and eventually began teaching for my mentor. Nurturing the same unfulfilled passion in other adults has been an incredible gift in my life that continuously inspires me to be a better dancer and teacher.              

That inspiration along with strong desire for my own body to move the way I imagined, led me to certify as a Zena Rommett Floor-Barre™ instructor. Still, I craved a greater understanding of the mechanics of the human body so I studied and became a neuromuscular massage therapist where I specialize in chronic pain. I have also certified in Corrective Exercise and am currently Yoga teacher training. I have experience in Ballet, Ballroom, Tap and African dance.

With Gratitude,
