Effervescence and community at Barre & Bubbles. No experience needed, just the desire to move before enjoying some much-needed social interaction! Bring a friend or make some new ones at a joyful total body barre class in the Barn at Broadturn Farm. The doors will be open, providing a nice airy space wherein folks will be able to amply spread out, safely, to enjoy the class and the happy hour to follow. Following your class, local Distributor Wicked Wines and importer Portovino will pour a rewarding flight of bubbles from Alice, a woman winemaker-owned producer in the Veneto. Chef Paolo and Mercedes will match the bubbles with some appropriate noontime nibbles to further the ride your endorphins will be on! **Bring your own yoga mat and a pair of regular (not grippy) socks.**
All necessary COVID-19 state mandates will be met as they exist the week of the class. All profits from the class will be donated to the Maine Farmland Trust (Broadturn Farm waived any location fees to assist in this effort!). The event will happen rain or shine. No refunds after May 31st (proceeds will then go completely to the MFT).
About The Class & Your Teacher:
Inspired by classical ballet, Pilates, yoga, and functional movement, Barre enhances your mind-body connection, refines your movement quality, and builds strength, balance, and grace from the inside out. Open to all movers—no dance or barre class experience necessary.
