“I have danced in ballet companies all over the world, which has made me uniquely qualified to understand that it is ballet barre that creates the wonderful dancers’ bodies and can create yours as well!”
Ballet Body Barre is the workout practiced by professional dancers for 350 years, to train their bodies and prepare them to dance.
Now you can do their authentic workout and no previous ballet training is necessary. Even if you’ve never danced, you will create the body of a ballet dancer, muscles that are long, lean, strong and never bulked, along with an elongated healthy spine and gorgeous posture. You can take the classes at our studio in Manhattan or sign up for our Online Video Series, which can be practiced at home.
Ideal for: those who prefer flexibility and a month-to-month approach.
Ideal for: those ready to commit to a consistent training journey.
Ideal for: independent learners and those who prefer full access from the start.

“After two and a half years, I must thank you for your wonderful ballet workout classes, that are inclusive, energetic and nonjudgmental. I have made friends for life and lost fifteen pounds without dieting. My arms, waist and thighs are now well sculpted. Your program is perfect for people like me who loathe gyms, but want to exercise. What fun,I love dancing with people from their teens through their eighties. Keep up your great work!”

“This has changed my life. Roberta is truly wonderful. I am not a graceful swan by any means yet she instills confidence that you can do it. She teaches you the right way and you feel like a real dancer because you’re doing exactly what real dancers do. There is no substitute. I’m longer and my posture has greatly improved because it’s all about lifting your torso up. If I can do it, anybody can”

My name is Roberta Senn. I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, where at my very first ballet class I informed my mother that I would be a ballet dancer. Among my teachers were two principal dancers from the Royal Ballet of London. After receiving a BA from the University of Chicago, I moved to NYC where I had the amazing fortune to be Jerome Robbin’s muse for the original Broadway production of Fiddler on the Roof. He built the entire show on me. I then moved to Europe where I danced in the Geneva Ballet, The Israeli National Ballet, and The Iranian National Ballet of the Shah of Iran.
Returning to NY, I opened the Great Neck School of Dance, and have trained thousands of children, including Ashley Hod, currently dancing principal roles in the New York City Ballet, Isabella de Vivo, soloist in the San Francisco Ballet, and Sarah Hughes, Olympic Gold Medalist of 2002.
In 2015, I opened Ballet & Body, with the purpose of spreading the Ballet Body Barre workout to the entire planet.
All of our teachers are professional ballet dancers who have had a 10 year
minimum of classical training at the finest ballet schools world’s
