Jen E

Jen began studying ballet at the age of four, and ever since then the barre has been a core element of her life. “For me, it’s more than a piece of wood anchored to a wall. It’s a place of both challenge and support, familiarity and discovery. In a way, coming to the barre is like coming home.” Pure Barre Potomac is located just across the street from where Jen’s childhood dance studio had once been, so she hopes to carry on that feeling of “homecoming” whenever she teaches. Jen loves Pure Barre technique for its versatility, how it meets clients where they are while opening the way for them to become stronger and more attuned to their bodies. Outside the studio, Jen is a writer who spends much of her free time with books and manuscripts.
