EspañolBARRE (BALLET)
'Barre', as used in ballet terminology, refers to a handrail used during warm up exercises. The term more widely refers to the series of exercises themselves, and also to the part of class which is comprised of barre exercises.[1]
Barres may be free-standing or mounted on the wall. They may be made of metal or of wood. They stand approximately at waist-height and are over an inch and a half in diameter.
Barre exercises are often slow and repetitive. They are meant to gradually build strength while teaching the body correct placement.[2] Barre makes up a significant portion of the beginning dancer's class, but it continues to be an important tool in all levels of ballet. Barre can be considered to be a preparation for partnering, with the barre providing the support a partner would later on.1 It is also important for dancers who are just beginning pointework, while their ankles may not be strong enough to support them in the center.
