My name is Priscilla Salas, and I'm a 27-year-old from Costa Rica. I've been passionate about ballet since I started dancing at the age of 13. Although I had to stop dancing when I began pursuing a degree in Health Science, I never lost my love for movement and the joy it brings.
After completing my Bachelor's degree, I tried several jobs, but I couldn't find fulfillment in any of them. Then, in early 2022, I stumbled upon barre, and it changed my life. I was immediately drawn to the dynamic nature of the workout that blends ballet techniques with scientific exercise principles. I also appreciated how accessible it was to everyone.
Inspired by my newfound love for barre, I decided to get certified as a Barre Intensity instructor. In October 2022, I began teaching barre classes at a gym in the Netherlands. Teaching has been a fulfilling experience that allows me to connect with people and help them grow in the sport. I enjoy encouraging my students to push past their limits and to strive for their personal best.
One of my favorite parts of teaching is preparing the playlist for my classes. It's an opportunity to set the tone and create an uplifting and motivating atmosphere for my students. I feel grateful every day that I get to share my love of barre with others.
