Today we’d like to introduce you to Paige DuBois Erwin.
Paige DuBois, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
In 2012, Paige Erwin created BODYBARRE® following her 20+ year career as a professional Broadway dancer. Following her retirement from Broadway, and studying the original barre work created by Lotte Berk, Paige searched for a barre method combining all the elements of classical dance, as well as strength training that she had grown to love. When nothing fit the bill, version 1 of the BODYBARRE® method was born.
The BODYBARRE® method started as a local instructor barre certification, with the focus of training and inspiring instructors in Southeast Texas.
Paige continued to supply a variety of studios in Texas with BODYBARRE® classes and certifications until demand grew so rapidly that a home studio was required. The Royal Academy of Fine Arts was our first home, and within one year, BODYBARRE® outgrew capacity and opened its own dedicated brick and mortar studio in 2017 in Houston, Texas.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Its’ never an easy road starting something new but my passion prevailed and I kept moving forward. Creating a Barre Fitness Method that resonates with all body types that also effective challenging and positive was my goal. I wanted to keep the method attainable for all bodies and create excitement in working out. I was teaching all over sometimes 5 studios in one day ( with a baby) to get the method out there. It was exhausting but looking back so very worth it.

Can you share something surprising about yourself?
I love my alone time. I LOVE working in my garden and listening to inspiring stories and podcasts while i get my hands dirty. There is something special about planting in the soil and watching my flowers bloom. When i work from home which is often every day i listen to Brazilian Jazz Music, I love Astrid Gilberto, her calm sensual voice helps me stay calm and concentrate on any task at hand.
