From the reviews

I’ve been taking barre classes throughout my time in NC, and overall I feel somewhat indifferent about this studio. I think the barre classes would benefit from mic’d-up instructors, as it can sometimes be difficult to hear cues clearly.

★★★★☆ — Made, May 2026

★★★★★ — Jacie, Feb 2024

I am a regular at the Friday, 6:45am heated yoga class with Brittany Segur. I cannot say enough positive things about Brittany's class. It's the perfect blend of stretch, strength and balance. Her calming demeanor makes the end of week class a must for me. I became a certified yoga teacher 1.

Your first barre class at Downtown 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.
