I discovered barre in 2015 while looking for some much-needed self-care as a stay-at-home mom, and I instantly fell in love. Two years later, I became an instructor. Teaching at Liege is special because of its positive, supportive community, and whether I’m teaching or taking class, I always leave feeling stronger—both physically and mentally. Alicia has been teaching at Liege since July 2017. She is a certified Barre Instructor (2017) and also holds a Ballet Aerobics Instructor certification (2018), both completed through American Barre Technique.
I have always been infatuated with the idea of “defying gravity” through dynamic movement. Pole fitness gave me the opportunity to do exactly that but with musicality and finesse. This apparatus soon becomes an extension of your truest self through exploration and reflection. The atmosphere that Liege exudes is always welcoming and supportive, regardless of who you are. Lifetime bonds and friendships are forged here through hard work, celebration, and evaluation.
I danced my entire life. Finding Liege took dancing, for me, to a whole new level! Pole fitness is all about strength and building confidence all while learning to move your body and to see its capabilities in a way you never thought possible. Helping women learn to love their bodies while teaching them to be strong, therefore sexy, is why I love teaching at Liege! Liege is a safe place to come, work hard, laugh with friends, and judgment free. So come try a pole class! I promise it won’t be like any other dance class you’ve tried before!
Sam has been an instructor with Liege since 2017. She received her Pole certification from Discoveries Dance in 2017.

Halle has been a barre fanatic since attending her first class at Liege in 2021 and discovering that an hour of low-impact, high-intensity fun is the perfect antidote to a daily regimen of desk- and screen-time. She became a certified instructor through BarreAbove in 2023. Despite lofty claims of not liking to work out, you’ll find her in the studio several times a week, at home doing kitchen-sink kick-backs for an audience of cats, or teaching & practicing on the yoga mat.
Jen received her Total Barre certification from the Merrithew Corporation in May of 2013. She completed her Total Barre Foundation certification in May of 2013 and completed her Barre Endurance certification on 2015. Jennifer also completed her Xpert Pole Fitness 1 & 2 trainings in 2015.
Have you ever tried to take a fitness class, and suddenly it’s your personality? In 2016 I took my first pole class to try something new and meet friends, but I got a community, a second profession, and an outlet for creativity instead! I started pole in Houston, Texas. I was a cast member for two pole shows there, and have competed in many regional pole competitions and at nationals twice. I love dancing, exploring new avenues of movement, and meeting new people. I’m so happy to be teaching at Liege, and would love to see you in class!
