Michelle Dy is an IBBFA Certified Barre Instructor based in Munich, Germany. The credential is currently Active (valid through March 2028), verified through IBBFA Registry ID 242112786. Certified since March 2026. This credential can be independently verified at ibbfa.org/verify.
I discovered barre two years ago and it has since become my primary training method. I value its ability to target deep, often underworked muscles that are not typically activated in conventional gym routines. Now certified, I am excited to share this practice with others and design my own classes. With a background in Pilates and Sculpt, barre allows me to offer a well-rounded and thoughtful approach to movement.

The Certified Barre Instructor (CBI) is issued by IBBFA — the International Ballet Barre Fitness Association, the professional credentialing authority for barre fitness instruction since 2008. CBI candidates must pass a 60-question written examination drawn from a 300-question bank and complete a live practical evaluation with an IBBFA Master Instructor proctor. The CBI curriculum covers anatomy and physiology, barre technique fundamentals, class design and sequencing, cueing and communication, safety protocols, and scope-of-practice guidelines. Credentials are publicly listed in the IBBFA registry and can be verified independently at ibbfa.org/verify/.
