Meet Carlie Milner
Carlie trained at Elmhurst Ballet School before joining the English National Ballet. She performed in major productions like Swan Lake and The Nutcracker. Later, she starred as Penny Johnson in Dirty Dancing in the West End.
Now, she brings her dance expertise to the fitness world. Her programme is designed for everyone – no ballet experience needed. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to switch up your routine, this series will meet you where you are.
What Is a Ballet Barre Workout?
Barre combines ballet-inspired movements with elements of yoga and Pilates. Carlie’s version adds a classical edge, while staying grounded in modern fitness.
Each class focuses on small, precise movements, isometric holds, and high reps. This strengthens the body without stressing the joints. You’ll use a chair or barre for support, helping with balance and alignment.
Why You Should Try Ballet Barre
✔ Build Strength and Tone
Barre works deep into your muscles, especially the core, glutes, thighs, and arms. You’ll notice increased strength and definition with regular practice.
✔ Boost Endurance
Small, repeated movements may look gentle, but they pack a punch. Over time, your stamina will improve — in both your workouts and daily life.
✔ Increase Flexibility
Each session includes dynamic stretching. This helps reduce stiffness, improves your range of motion, and supports joint health.
✔ Improve Balance and Posture
Barre teaches you to move with control. You’ll develop better balance, stronger posture, and greater body awareness.
✔ Be Kind to Your Joints
Barre is low-impact. That means it’s ideal if you’re recovering from injury, returning to exercise, or want results without high-impact strain.
Why Now Is the Perfect Time
Carlie’s Ballet Barre Workout gives you more than physical results. It helps you move better, feel stronger, and gain confidence. With just 20 minutes per class, you can easily fit it into your day — and feel the benefits build with each session.
