SHE Barre Sant Cugat was born from something that unites us: a love of dance, of movement, and the desire to share it with other women.

Behind this project there are stories, experiences and a shared hope: to create a space where every woman feels welcome, finds her strength and enjoys a moment for herself.

Because we believe that taking care of yourself is also about loving yourself, sharing and feeling good about being yourself.

Ana Estela
Founder of SHE Barre

Ana Estela

Ana is a dancer by lineage and vocation. Trained initially in classical dance, she discovered the Barre method and it completely transformed the way she understood movement. She spent an entire year developing her own method through hundreds of classes and intensive study, until she shaped what SHE Barre is today.

She describes it as "a beautiful process of construction and creation, of mutual support between women". From this was born the SHE universe: a space grounded in authenticity, power and connection to the feminine, to accompany free, conscious women who are connected to their own strength.

Alexandra Basmagy
Artistic Director, SHE Barre Sant Cugat

Alexandra Basmagy

Alexandra Basmagy grew up in New Jersey and knew from an early age that ballet would be her life. She trained at the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School at American Ballet Theatre —the school of the most prestigious company in the United States— and in 2008 crossed the Atlantic to become a founding member of Corella Ballet Castilla y León in Segovia, under the direction of Ángel Corella.

In 2011 she returned to New York to join American Ballet Theatre, where for over thirteen years she performed some of the great roles of the classical repertoire. In 2024, after a career built on the world's most demanding stages, she chose Sant Cugat.

Bilingual, a mother and Artistic Director of SHE Barre Sant Cugat, Alexandra now brings that discipline and elegance to a space designed for every woman to discover what her body is capable of —regardless of whether she has ever set foot in a ballet studio.

Janire
Studio Coordinator & Instructor, SHE Barre Sant Cugat

Janire

Born in Barcelona, Janire discovered her passion for dance at an early age. She trained at the Conservatori Professional de Dansa of the Institut del Teatre, where she developed a strong technical and artistic foundation that led her to pursue a professional dance career with national and international companies.

After years on stage, she found in barre a new way to express and share everything she had learned through movement. A discipline that combines the precision and elegance of dance with strength, energy, and physical well-being.

Today, as Studio Coordinator and Instructor at SHE Barre Sant Cugat, Janire brings her experience and sensitivity to every class, creating a welcoming and motivating environment where every woman can feel comfortable, challenge her own limits, and discover the joy of movement.
