INTEGRATION HOURS

Inspired Observation

Spend time watching certified instructors lead classes. This is a chance to observe cueing, sequencing, pacing, and how instructors adapt to different bodies and needs.

Embodied Teaching Practice

These hours involve you teaching real people - friends, family, etc. to apply what you’re learning. This is about finding your voice, refining your cues, and gaining experience with bodies in motion.

Personal Integration

These hours are for you to get into your own body. Practice the movements solo and/or take classes in a studio setting. Great teaching starts with deep personal understanding.

Scholarships and Community Access

BIPOC Scholarship
The barre and fitness sphere grapples with a lack of diversity and inclusivity, especially at the instructor level. We wholeheartedly embrace the beauty and immense value of diverse representation within our communities and studios.

In support of fostering inclusion, we're offering BIPOC scholarship opportunities. At Summer Street Wellness, we believe barre is a powerful tool for healing, resilience, and empowerment—on and off the mat, at and away from the barre. Our mission is to create an inclusive and welcoming space where everyone feels valued. This initiative supports broader access to barre teacher training for marginalized communities, with the goal of enhancing representation and promoting positive change within both the local and broader barre communities.

Please fill out this form to apply for the scholarship. Applications are due August 25th and recipients are announced September 1st.

Why Join?
Whether you’re looking to deepen your barre practice, develop a new skill set, start a side business, or explore anatomy and low-impact exercise, our Barre Teacher Training is crafted for you. With holistic training and practical support, you’ll leave empowered to teach, inspire, and create. This training is truly for anybody! Barre training offers a multitude of creative and financial opportunities, but can also offer a multitude of benefits, physically and mentally, to folks not interested in teaching.
