Disco Barre Studio
Disco Barre Studio is bringing back Madonna's big hits, mirror balls and the original Lotte Berk technique. Based in The Factory - a community hub in Hackney - its classes focus on helping you achieve the body of a dancer while pumping out a playlist ripped straight from the decks of Studio 54. Expect a steady mix of traditional ballet movements - pliés and relevés - tiny pelvic pulses and booty-building holds that'll leave your behinds burning. Try to engage your holds as long as possible as this is what sculpts your front/ back/side and insides of your legs. Committed to encouraging inclusivity and fluidity, Gay Barre has just launched for gay men in the community.
