Today we’d like to introduce you to Caitlin Rose.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I started working as a dance instructor in 2013 while pursuing my bachelors degree in dance from Western Oregon University. Two years after graduating, I saw a post in a local Facebook group looking to train and hire barre instructors and the next day I was signed up Splendid Barre’s instructor training workshop! I loved the community and the workouts and worked my way up to studio manager under Karlie Moore, PhD. Dr. Moore was ready for new ventures so I purchased Splendid Barre in June of 2022. I’ve since become certified to teach yoga and Pilates and expanded Splendid Barre’s offerings to include those modalities. I love seeing my clients get stronger not just physically but socially as well! Our studio environment fosters strong interpersonal relationships from client to instructor and client to client.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Running Splendid Barre has not been without it’s challenges. It’s taken many, many hours and I’ve had to work through sickness and injury to keep a consistent class schedule. The financial instability and fear of the unknown has it made it a difficult journey but those hard times and sacrifice led me to gain confidence in my leadership and skill as a business owner and brand.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
I am the youngest of six, so I often played the role of entertainer in the family, putting on plays or recitals at Christmas or Thanksgiving. I would get described as bossy by my siblings during the process but I had a vision that I wanted to bring to life! When it comes to hobbies, I skied but my biggest love was and still is dancing. I work as a leader in the Corvallis dance community to this day.
