Be Barre Method
A barre instructor training program in Mexico, founded by Liz Michel Navarro, recognized by IBBFA as preparing graduates against published competency standards.
Method-specific training, IBBFA-recognized standards
Be Barre Method is a barre instructor training program based in Mexico and founded by Liz Michel Navarro. The program teaches its own curriculum, brand, and class style while preparing graduates to meet the safety, biomechanics, and scope-of-practice competencies that IBBFA assesses.
As an IBBFA Recognized Program, Be Barre Method keeps its own brand, language of instruction, and tuition. IBBFA provides the credentialing standard, the graduate exam pathway, and the public verification layer that lets Be Barre Method graduates demonstrate their training to studios and students anywhere in the world.
The foundation beneath the method
IBBFA is the foundation credential for barre instruction — certifying the safety, biomechanics, and scope-of-practice knowledge every barre instructor needs, regardless of method or lineage.
Recognition does not replace individual credentialing. Be Barre Method graduates complete the program's training, then earn the IBBFA Certified Barre Instructor (CBI) credential by passing the IBBFA examination — the same standard that applies to every barre instructor, in any method. This mirrors how recognized programs prepare candidates for the credential in other fields: the program teaches, and the credentialing body certifies.

The IBBFA exam pathway for graduates
Because Be Barre Method is a Recognized Program, its graduates take the IBBFA examination at the recognized-program rate of $199 rather than the $299 standalone fee. Graduates who pass earn the CBI credential and appear in the public IBBFA directory, where studios and students can verify their standing.
