AnnMarie DiCarlo

AnnMarie has been passionate about movement from an early age, starting as a competitive dancer. She later pivoted to a variety of other sports, eventually playing college basketball until a knee injury sidelined her athletic journey. After a long recovery and a move to Philadelphia, AnnMarie discovered Lumos and took her very first barre class. She was instantly hooked and barre reignited her love for movement, strength, and athletic community. AnnMarie wanted to help others find that same connection and it motivated her to complete the Barre Teacher Training at Lumos in the Fall of 2025.  She can’t wait to move together!
