Erica began dancing at a young age and continued on through college. After graduating, she ventured into the world of dance fitness as a way to keep dance in her life as well as get a good workout! Xtend Barre proved to be the perfect combination of dance, strength training, and cardio and she instantly fell in love. Erica is so thrilled to join the team and bring her love of dance and fitness to the Xtend Barre Burlington classes!

Kristin spent her childhood on the stage through dance and through theater performances. In college, she kept active on a dance team as a member and choreographer at Penn State University. In her adult life, she likes to stay in shape but was having trouble staying committed to a workout routine…until she found Xtend barre! Now she couldn’t imagine a more perfect workout to keep her active and healthy throughout her pregnancy. Kristin is a full time second grade teacher and an expecting new mom. She believes barre is the most accommodating workout for anyone! Kristin is beyond thrilled to join the XBB team as an instructor!

Catherine’s passion for dance started at a very young age. She grew up dancing competitively at her local studio in Burlington, training in a variety of different styles such as jazz, tap, lyrical, ballet, contemporary, and hip hop. She has been active her entire life, so as her dance career came to an end in college, she struggled to find an effective yet enjoyable workout. As soon as she tried out Xtend Barre, she was hooked! Within her first few weeks of taking class, she started seeing the results both physically and mentally. After getting so much out of the workouts herself, Catherine wanted to turn that passion around and help others achieve their goals. When she is not at Xtend taking or teaching class, Catherine can also be found working in the finance department at iBASIS as an analyst. She can’t wait to meet you at the barre!

She completed her 200-hour teacher training under Julie Wetherbee at One Powered Yoga in 2019. Her goal is for students to leave her class feeling centered and rejuvenated (and occasionally a little sweaty!). She is thrilled to have the opportunity to share her passions with Xtend Barre!
