01
Expand your repertoire & sequencing
In this module, you will broaden your exercise repertoire by exploring creative and dynamic combinations that challenge both you and your students, while maintaining precise alignment and ensuring safety. You will also deepen your understanding of advanced sequencing, learning how to structure classes with intentional progression, flow, and engagement. By integrating these elements, you will be able to design classes that are not only physically effective but also inspiring, cohesive, and enjoyable for students of varying levels.
02
Props & variations
This module introduces the use of props, including balls, weights, and resistance bands, to expand your class design and create inventive variations. You will learn how to incorporate props strategically to enhance conditioning, refine alignment, and add playful or targeted challenges to your classes. The focus is on using props thoughtfully to support students' development while maintaining class flow and safety.
03
Musicality & expression
You will explore the role of rhythm, tempo, and phrasing in barre classes, learning how to use music to enhance movement quality, engagement, and energy. This section emphasises timing, fluidity, and expressive movement, giving you the skills to guide students through sequences that feel dynamic, motivating, and harmonious.

Who you'll learn from
Willemieke will guide you in deepening your understanding of anatomy, alignment, and embodied movement within the context of barre. She emphasises how anatomy and biomechanics underpin every exercise, ensuring that movement is both effective and safe. By weaving together breath, core engagement, and precise alignment, Willemieke helps you experience the intelligent foundation behind barre practice. Her ability to explain and demonstrate the interplay between posture, breath, and movement patterns will empower you to teach with clarity, while enabling clients to move with greater ease, grace, strength, and awareness.
I came in thinking I would 'just' learn some exercises, but I left with a deep understanding of how to truly guide others.
