No. 75: Head Over to the Barre By the Train Station

Martha Merideth Studios is offering adult ballet barre fitness classes.

In our weekly countdown we are getting right to the "pointe" as we make our way to a Ballet Barre Fitness class for flexibility, isometric training, and balance. Remember, in this adult class nothing is "tutu" difficult, for it's specially designed for mature folks.

eponymous dance studio is celebrating 52 years in business and she is proudly celebrating her 70th birthday this month.  Truth be told, Mrs. Merideth certainly hasn't lost a step while equally she is indefatigably keeping her students on their toes.

Merideth offers a diverse assortment of classes for her young pupils such as Ballet for Jazz Dancers, Cool-Hot Hip Hop, Improvs and Ad-libs, Rhythm Tap, Musical Theater, and Lyrical Jazz, to name a few.  It's her adult classes, however, that folks flock to - young and old, female and male, from all over the area.

Mrs. Merideth has been teaching dance to adults for over a half century. Recently, she began to notice this new dance fusion fitness trend and quickly leaped at the chance to start a barre class right here in downtown Syosset.

On Wednesday nights her family of regulars file in and take their place in the studio with poise and grace, elongating, aligning, and strengthening their limbs as they sweat to softly playing classical music. It may look effortless but this is a workout.
