From the reviews

From the moment I stepped into Beyond the Barre in 2016, I felt like I had found a hidden gem in the dance world. Danielle is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient—especially when it comes to pointe shoe fittings.

★★★★★ — Tiana, Jul 2025

I took my 4 year old for her dancewear needs and the selection of product was great. The Customer service was excellent. The staff is so helpful and they knew exactly how to size my daughter. They even had her studio dress code on file! Highly recommend.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Jan 2022

Danielle went through multiple boxes to find my size in a dance shoe and ordered it for me when she didn’t have my (pretty large) size request. She is passionate about dance and Beyond the Barre is a great place to shop.

★★★★★ — Andrea, Jun 2025

My wife has been taking my daughter to Beyond the Barre for the past 7 years. It is a big stress reliever for me when they are happy. The owner Danielle always makes sure my daughter has her dance needs even when they come to her last minute. My daughter is in ballet 6 and has more ballet needs than ever.

Your first barre class at Beyond the Barre

New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Barre is low-impact, so it suits most bodies and fitness levels — but if you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
