AFB Barre Teacher Training Foundation Course with teim™
12 - 6pm on Sun 31 May
We are pleased to introduce a comprehensive One-Day Barre Foundations Course at A Fine Balance, hosted by Lizzie Bland from teim™.
Lizzie Bland is a UK-based teacher and educator with over 20 years of experience in the dance and fitness industry. She is best known as the founder of Lean Bean Fitness in Australia and now leads her Teacher Training and Events platform, teim™ (Training and Events in Movement).
This highly regarded Barre Course draws on the original Lotte Berk Method, alongside influences from Pilates, yoga, and ballet, as well as a range of strength and conditioning techniques. It is designed to equip instructors with the knowledge and confidence to deliver classes that are effective, engaging, and consistently high quality.
The practical one-day foundation course* is ideal for those looking to upskill, expand their teaching repertoire, or incorporate barre into their existing offering.
Course Content Includes:
Foundations of barre
Key and recurrent barre exercises
Class planning and creating effective flow
Introduction to equipment
The TEIM Barre Bible, including framework, exercises, and class plans

*This is a Foundations-level course, designed as a comprehensive introduction to Barre within an immersive one-day training. For many, it’s a great starting point to begin teaching.
If you’re looking to build deeper confidence and develop your class planning further, we’d recommend progressing onto the teim™ Stage 2 course afterwards, alongside regular class attendance and practice teaching.
