{about the classes}
We’re One-of-a-Kind
No matter your age, shape, or size, Lotte Berk’s original method is proven to lengthen, tone and give you the lean physique you’ve always wanted. No previous barre experience? Don’t worry! Our hands-on classes are designed to get you up to speed in no time.
Best of all, we’re the very FIRST U.S. studio to teach the modern ballet and yoga-based moves the same way Lotte did 50 years ago, so our classes are truly unique.
Note: When it comes to what to wear, think barre, yoga, or Pilates-type clothing. Socks are required but if you forget, we sell them at the studio.
{the tLm classes}
Using the barre as leverage and support, you’ll learn to tap into those deep “hard to reach” places throughout your entire body including important core-stabilizing muscles. Derived from modern ballet, physical therapy and yoga, Lotte Berk’s original method involves simple moves that will lengthen, tone and shape your body like no other practice you’ve done before.
{a better “you”}
Students who never thought they’d sport a dancer-like figure are amazed to see their bodies transform one shake at a time. But it’s not just physical. Their confidence skyrockets as does their overall health. We’ve loved watching our tLm ladies become the best versions of themselves as we cheer them on along the way.

{what makes us different?}
England-born, U.S.-bound
While it’s true the German ballerina, Lotte Berk, was the creator of the barre technique, it didn’t travel from London to the U.S. in its original form. Free weights were added, the ORIGINAL exercises were altered, even the muscles targeted were slightly changed over time. thereby altering her practice. Today, theLONDONmethod is THE place where you can find the original Lotte Berk class, in its true form, right here in the U.S.
And from the moment you walk in the studio you’ll see why that makes such a difference. The barre is closer to the wall for better control and deeper stretches. The movements are unique and unlike anything you’ve seen before. The class sizes are small with students ranging in age, shape and fitness level, all burning, smiling and succeeding using Lotte’s signature movements designed to transform their bodies literally from the core.
