The FCC and Chloé Mizuta have been offering virtual barre classes en français since the start of the pandemic. Have you taken one of these popular classes yet? They are perfect if your goals include getting fit AND improving your French. This summer we’re moving classes outside and in-person! Starting June 11 we’re offering four chances for you to engage your body and mind with other francophiles on the Greenway in Boston. Can’t make it to the Greenway? Ne vous inquiétez pas ! We’ll still be holding classes virtually as well.

Be prepared for class! Below is a special vocabulary list to help you during class as you move with us.
