All ballet dancers know what a barre is. The long handrail is used to gently warm-up the body, gain speed and precision in footwork, increase strength and flexibility, improve balance and build stability when standing on one leg.
Performing exercises at the barre sets the foundation for a strong dancer, and the results reveal itself during center floor work and the rest of ballet class. The more effort that is put into barre work, the more a student will get out of class.
