Ryan Rose

Ryan Rose is the founder and lead instructor for Barre4Everybody. In March of 2020, he decided to provide barre classes virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ryan is originally from Denver, Colorado and recently graduated from the University of Denver with his master’s in media and public communications in June 2020. Ryan was a professional ballet and contemporary dancer with various dance companies in the Denver Metro area. After deciding it was time to exit from the world dance, he found his way to his current role as a barre fitness instructor.

For 5 years, Ryan taught at The Ballet Physique in Littleton, CO and, for 2 years, taught at Life Time Fitness in Parker and Centennial, CO.“I started teaching barre because I wanted to learn how to provide a fitness experience that would help people reclaim their bodies and their strength.”

After years of teaching barre for local studios, Ryan realized that the nature of barre fitness was too exclusive and stereotyped. Barre4Everybody was born with the intention to create an inclusive fitness space for anyone and any background. “To me, it is not about what you look like in the mirror but rather the confidence and strength that comes from hard work and discipline of the mind and body.”
