Claire Barre teacher
Claire trained from the age of 3 at The Lorraine Day School of Dance, she competed and performed regularly including in the Aldershot Pantomime. She auditioned successfully for the Royal Academy of Dance to study a Bachelor of Arts in Ballet Education, where she stayed for an additional year to study a PGCE in Dance Teaching. She completed a Masters in Education in 2022 focusing on Somatic rehearsal methodology.
 

In addition to having a PGCE Claire has registered teachers’ status with the Royal Academy of Dance and International Dance Teachers Association. She has also just been accepted as an Assistant Tutor Award approved tutor, a new award available from the Royal Academy of Dance. Claire has taught GCSE and A Level Dance in various schools for over 15years, during which she spent some time self-employed, expanding her teaching to include seated Ballet for the elderly, and Pilates. In the last few years Claire has enjoyed taking classes in Aerial Hoop, completing her beginner Hoop teacher training in March 2024.

Claire relaunched her freelance career mid 2024 with a shift in focus. She really enjoys teaching adults, and therefore has launched more classes aimed at this audience. She has had various operations on her hip which made her revaluate the importance of her body being fit and healthy and wants to help others be happy with their bodies and enjoy exercise. Claire has recently completed a Level 1 course accredited by the Royal Academy of Dance focusing on Parkinson’s.

You can find Claire teaching Sculpt & Tone for Grace and Gravity which features elements of Ballet.
