Disco Barre

Disco Barre Disco Barre is the ballet barre workout to disco. Get a strong, sculpted, sexy body FAST. Close your eyes and you could be in Studio 54 or the Paradise Garage.

Disco Barre is a ballet barre based work out that will totally transform your body and change the way you think about exercise. All set to a personal soundtrack of underground disco and house favourites from fitness and boogie connoisseur, Sophie Ritchie - Disco Barre is a class devised to banish the boredom of the gym and make you feel more a slave to the rhythm than the treadmill. Classes take p

lace in unique spaces and are done by the light of a Disco Ball. Sophie is a Level 3 Pilates teacher and Personal Trainer with a strong dance background and completed the gruelling Barreworks training programme with the ubertalented Vicki Anstey of Barreworks, Richmond in July 2013 and still teaches at the studio (always in the best Barre studio lists). Vicki trained in the Lotte Berk method and New York City Ballet work out, both of which Sophie has practised since her teens. Disco Barre combines all these techniques with core work, strength training, isometric holds and small but intense and sexy, choreographed moves that help you to achieve a sculpted, lean but strong body - fast. Work that body, feel the burn and get down to the music. No dance experience necessary. WARNING: ADDICTIVE. Tuesday and Wednesday at 7.00 at Only Fools and Peacocks, Stoke Newington Church Street. Wednesday lunchtime at 12 and Friday at 7.00 at Barbers Gym, Hackney Downs Studios.

I don’t share my playlists. Here’s why….A little Friday PM read. Or save for later (🙏🏼).

I’ve had a record number of people ask for them this month, which genuinely makes me so happy as it means my music touches you.

I’m always happy to share a track. Always.

But I’ve had so much taken from me in my life and in my work. Things stolen without consent, given away for free, for peanuts and things that were never on the table in the first place. So this is a boundary I choose to keep in place.

I’ve even seen people Shazam music in class, which I don’t give permission for.

I share a lot here and I have SoundCloud and Spotify, but the playlists in class are just that. For the class.

It’s not about being tight. I’m offering a whole experience in the moment and the music is as much of a main character as the moves..

I might sound like a total wa*nker to some and completely pretentious, but it’s important to me and my offering.

This is real talk now. You need to do this training. If you’ve been umming and arrrrring, it’s now. Trust me. Friends, please share with your fitness pro friends. You will benefit, lol.

This is why you need to train with me now.

Esther said that I carried the closest energy and understanding of this work of anyone she trained.
I’m standing in that with authority now.

That didn’t come from the method alone.
My life has been layered. I’ve done a huge amount of work on myself, especially over the last few years. It’s changed how I understand people, movement and myself, which runs through everything I do now.

I keep learning.
I keep changing.
I never stay fixed.
I’m still standing.
And I’m not done.

That’s what this work asks for.
And it gives a LOT back.

This training isn’t about copying a method or collecting a qualification.
It’s about embodying something deeply and letting it inform how you teach, create and be.

If this speaks to you, you’ll know.
