Grand Jeté
Named after one of ballet’s most graceful leaps, Grand Jeté propels students toward fitness goals with dance-inspired stretches and strength-training exercises. Classes revolve around a ballet barre, where exercisers practice elegant movements designed to build lean limbs, flexible joints, and cores as firm as a mattress made of bricks and mortar. Seasoned dancers and fitness pros, including studio founder Laura Roy Armistead, helm each 55-minute workout, showering participants with encouraging words and tips on form as they melt calories and stress.
