Erica Hegi

Erica first discovered barre by attending Barre District- Madison’s grand opening in 2018. Erica immediately fell in love with the training- seeing herself get stronger in every class, finding inner peace during stretches, and finding “Barre Besties” to hold her accountable. Erica especially loved the welcoming environment from everyone in the studio and knew that she wanted to become a part of the barre community. Balancing exercise with family, work and other responsibilities used to be difficult. However, after finding barre, Erica discovered that the highlight of her day was spent at the barre studio and she is looking forward to being your barretender!

Erica graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education from UW-Whitewater and is currently teaching 5th and 6th grade choir. Erica’s passion for teaching and background in music has not only helped her synchronize the barre choreography to the beat, but has also helped arrange playlists and create “lesson plans” for each barre class.  In her free time, Erica enjoys drinking iced chai lattes while reading a good book, spending time with family, playing piano, writing and listening to music, and going to concerts in Madison.
