Croteau Is a Mover and Shaker

Name: Tanya Croteau

Occupation: Owner of barre n9ne® studio

Hobbies and interests: Health and fitness, dance, football, traveling, spending time with friends and family and most of all watching my 15 month old son grow and learn new things each and every day!

Favorite Movie:  I am really not into movies very much- but I have been known to watch Dirty Dancing anytime it is on TV or Ironman!

Dream Vacation: Greece or Hawaii! I think everyone should experience Hawaii at least once in their life and I have yet to take the trip so that is definitely on my bucket list and Greece because I am half Greek so I would love to see all the beautiful Greek islands and to see where my family is from. 

How long have you lived/worked in Andover? barre n9ne® studio is very new to Andover and we couldn't be more excited to be here! I opened the first barre n9ne® in Danvers, MA on March 1, 2010 and just two years later we opened the Andover location on April 16, 2011!

What is your favorite place in Andover? Other than barre n9ne® studio ;) I would have to say Main Street. I love walking around, meeting other business owners and all of the wonderful residents of Andover. 

Favorite local shop? It's a toss up between and . I just purchased our first Orchid at Kokee to brighten up our waiting room and there is a really fabulous dress I would love to grab at dresscode! 

How do you see Andover changing over the next 10-20 years? More local businesses. I have always loved towns that support local businesses and Andover has a great reputation of doing so. 

Where would someone see you around town? Through the windows of barre n9ne® studio teaching a class, for a delicious drink or Whole Foods...and/or browsing in Dresscode or !
