CORE BARRE - Smart Movement® is the result of Ms Hoekstra’s professional dance, Pilates and Gyrotonic background.  She was taught early on the importance of creating strength through intelligent movement with her classical ballet training in the Vaganova Ballet Syllabus and classical pilates.   The principles of the Vaganova system are the melding of a movement  syllabus with an expression of elegance that leads to technical precision, strength, control  and artistic impression.  Monica wished to create the same with CORE BARRE by offering a classical BARRE education that is informative, foundational and inspirational for the teacher as well as the student.

 

 

"Watching people move with grace in a manner that  is purposeful and creates good energy is something worth teaching and participating in.  This is what creates Smart Movement®."- Monica Hoekstra
