Corey, a native Rhode Islander, grew up in the small town of Foster. She began taking dance classes at the age of three and never gave it up. After graduating high school, she took her first professional dancing job, working on a cruise ship that traveled the world. She later received her esthetics license and worked at a spa in Providence, loving the feeling of pampering others. She eventually landed her dream job with the Radio City Rockettes, which led to her big move to New York. That’s where Corey really fell in love with group fitness and began teaching barre and other styles of fitness during her off seasons. She saw how much barre classes did for her in not just her daily life, but her dancing career as well. Due to the craziness of 2020, Corey and her husband came back to RI for a while to stay with her parents, and ended up not wanting to leave. As new residents to the Middletown area, Studio Barre was the first place Corey checked out and was hooked from the moment she walked through the door!

Health and fitness have always been a huge part of her life. She encourages and teaches her children as well as others, the value of both! In 2013, she began her Dental career specializing in Orthodontics. Her husband, a member of the U.S. Coast Guard for the past 12 years, has given their family the opportunity to meet and make amazing friendships as well as travel and explore so many places such as Alaska, Hawaii and now Newport!

Born and raised in Bristol, Carmen loves living right by the water. She graduated from the University of Rhode Island in 2017 with a bachelors in Human Development and Family Studies. Carmen always knew she wanted to work with children but was not sure in what capacity. After working at an after school program she soon decided to pursue a Masters in the Art of Teaching at RIC, and hopes to teach elementary education when she graduates. Carmen has always been active, however, she has never felt as challenged as she is when taking a barre class. The rewarding feeling after taking class, as well as the warm and welcoming community is what hooked her. She believes nothing is better than being challenged with such a motivating and humble group surrounding her.
Ariana was born and raised just North of Boston, but has considered herself a Newport local for the last 6 years. She graduated from Salve Regina University with a Bachelors in Marketing and a Masters in Business Administration. Ariana discovered Studio Barre during graduate school where she fell in love with the challenging yet sassy workout, and stayed for the supportive, uplifting community! Her combined background in cheerleading, lacrosse, and dance brought her to consider becoming a {barre}tender. SB has increased her overall confidence, leaving her feeling better than ever!
Ariana loves spending time with her family, cooking new and exciting meals, traveling the world, working at a nutrition club (our neighbor!) and spending summers barefoot by the ocean. Take her class and ask about one of the 18 countries she’s travelled to, or her favorite dish to whip up! She’ll be sure to make you shake, sweat, and sparkle.
