How can I log my barre class attendance hours?
Please keep a log in your phone or notebook if clocking classes before the course weekend. Alternatively, your class hours can be clocked after your course weekend and logged in your ‘Bean Bible’.
The examination process
You will have 2 theory exams. 1 on the philosophy of Barre Beans and 1 on Physiology & Anatomy with Women In Focus. These assessments will be on what you have learnt at the weekend course so don’t think about them just yet! You will then film your practical assessment (phone is fine) of you teaching a Barre Beans class to a buddy(s). We will help you with structure your class by the end of the weekend course so you feel confident to practice it before filming and submitting. We suggest you don’t wait too long to film so the content is fresh in your mind.
The categories we will asses you on in the practical assessment include; exercise sequencing, cuing, musicality, flow and transitions, equipment use, modifications and creativity.
Will the course open the opportunity to teach at Lean Bean?
That’s the goal! We’re always looking for great new teachers to bring on to the team.
