Aleksa N.
Aleksa was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, where she spent most of her childhood in the dance studio. After graduating from college with degrees in both Business and Dance, she helped open Pure Barre Bucktown, blending her entrepreneurial spirit with her lifelong love of movement. More than 13 years later, she still can't imagine life without a barre. Aleksa's favorite format to teach is Empower (a killer playlist can motivate you to do almost anything). When she's taking class herself, you'll usually find her in Classic, where the precision and technique satisfy her inner ballerina. Her favorite part of teaching, though, is watching members surprise themselves, celebrate new personal bests, and leave feeling stronger than when they walked in. Outside of the studio, Aleksa helps female entrepreneurs build magnetic brands and businesses from the inside out.
