Cathleen brings a vibrant background and years of diverse teaching experience to her own Fluid Power Barre Fitness of Sayville, NY. She holds an MFA in Dance from NYU Tisch School of the Arts where she was privileged to learn Pilates from Kathy Grant, an original protege’ of Joseph Pilates. Thus began her fascination with movement as a true healing art. As a member of the Joyce Trisler Danscompany under the direction of Regina Larkin, she was immersed in the Lester Horton technique which is based largely on corrective exercises and emphasizes a “whole body, anatomical approach to dance.”

Cathleen directed and choreographed for theater, concert dance, and a wide variety of educational settings, deveolping an ardent passion for teaching movement to students of diverse experience and skill levels. Her teaching credits include Adelphi University, Eglevsky Ballet Summer Workshops at Hofstra University, American Theater Dance Workshop, Peridance Center NY and W.C Bryant Public High School in Queens.

Cathleen was hooked on barre after being introduced to the Lotte Berk method by Jamie Greer. She was among the first teachers invited to train in Exhale Barre (formerly Core Fusion TM) by it’s founding creators, Fred Devito and Elisabeth Halfpapp over 15 years ago. As a member of Exhale’s team, she was involved in workshops including prenatal and postnatal exercise, while she had her own two beautiful babies. Today, she continues to teach at Exhale Bridgehampton and NYC and attends Exhale’s Barre teacher trainings and continuing education classes in NYC.
