Experience Movement That Meets You Where You Are
Hi! I'm Camelle Pink, and I can't wait to meet you.
For over 12 years, I've been teaching women how to move with intention instead of force - through barre, clinical Pilates, and dance-based fitness that actually feels good in your body.
Whether you're in Invercargill or anywhere in the world, my classes are designed for real women with real lives who want to feel strong, graceful, and confident without the gym intimidation.
Why Barre & Pilates in Invercargill?
When I left Auckland in 2017 after completing my Master of Dance, my friends kept asking: "Are you going to bring barre to Invercargill?"
The answer was yes.
Because ballet and barre gave me something I didn't know I needed - confidence to move with ease, a deeper understanding of my body, and friendships that have lasted years.
Now, 7+ years later, my barre and Pilates classes remain some of the most sought-after movement options in Southland - both in-studio and online.

From Auckland Studios to Invercargill's Favorite Barre Instructor
My journey into barre fitness started unexpectedly.
When I moved from Invercargill to Auckland to pursue my dance degree, I stumbled into an instructing position at Abundance (City Fitness) in the CBD. It was the perfect intersection of my technical dance training, my belief in the benefits of moving to music, and my desire to help others feel comfortable in their own skin.
I'll be honest - at first, I was skeptical. Barre seemed like it might be another fitness fad.
But it actually worked. (Much to my surprise!)
Across studios and gyms throughout Auckland, I watched diverse groups of people transform through this fusion of ballet technique, yoga flow, Pilates core work, and most importantly - fun.
No punishment. No guilt. Just purposeful movement that made people feel genuinely good.
What I Teach (And Why I Love It)
When I'm not preparing your next barre or Pilates workout, you'll find me teaching:
✔️ Barre Fitness Classes - Small group sessions combining ballet technique with strength work at the barre
✔️ Clinical Pilates - Therapeutic movement for rehabilitation, pelvic floor health, and specific body concerns (private, semi-private, and group sessions)
✔️ Adult Dance Classes - This is where I get to share my love of dance with women who thought their dancing days were behind them (or who never got the chance to start):
✔️ Ballet - Adult Beginner Ballet for complete beginners or those returning after years away
✔️ Jazz - High-energy, expressive movement with classic jazz technique
✔️ Contemporary - Fluid, emotional dance that connects mind and body
✔️ Heels with Social Latin Dance Styling - Confidence-building movement that makes you feel powerful and sensual
My RECLAIM series is specifically designed for women over 30 who want to reconnect with the joy of moving to music without judgment or competition.
✔️ Online Programs - Like Elevate, my 6-week on-demand barre and Pilates program for women anywhere in the world
✔️ Special Events - From wedding dance choreography to Sip & Dance evenings
If it involves dance, movement, or helping women reconnect with their bodies - I'm there.
My Qualifications: Trained to Meet Your Body's Needs
I don't just teach movement - I understand how bodies work, how they heal, and how to modify for your specific needs.
Dance Education:
✔️ Master of Dance (with first class honors & distinction)
✔️ 15+ years of professional dance training and performance
Specialized Movement Certifications and Trainings:
✔️ Breathe Education Diploma of Clinical Pilates (12-month intensive program)
✔️ The Method NZ's The Barre Method - comprehensive barre instructor training
✔️ The P3 Method (Pregnancy, Postpartum & Pelvic Floor) - specialized training for women's pelvic health
This combination means I can work with everyone from pregnant women to postpartum recovery, from pelvic floor concerns to general strength building, from complete beginners to advanced movers.
My Approach: Movement Without the Guilt or Grind
Here's what makes my classes different from typical fitness programs:
I don't believe in crushing yourself into submission or proving how tough you are.
I believe in meeting your body where it is - not where you think it should be.
My classes are trauma-informed, anti-diet culture, and designed for women over 30 who are returning to movement after life challenges, injuries, or years of thinking their bodies weren't "good enough" for fitness.
You won't find before/after photos or transformation challenges here.
You will find expert instruction, modifications for every fitness level, and a community of women who support each other instead of competing.
