Ballet is one of the world’s most recognized forms of dance. Known for its classic beauty and grace and ability to tell a story through music and movement, ballet is a discipline that teaches balance, coordination, flexibility, stamina, and strength.
A spin-off of traditional ballet is the hot trend of barre fitness. These group fitness classes are enjoyable and rewarding, and they are suitable for people of all fitness abilities and levels. Barre is unique in that it combines a lot of ballet-inspired movements with strength-building workouts like pilates, dance, and yoga. Other various strength trainings and light cardio moves are added to the mix to create a low-impact routine. The top benefits of this workout include core strength and the development of upper and lower body muscles without bulking up. It also improves posture and cardiovascular health. Focus is often placed on high reps of various, small range movements.
The art of ballet and the barre fitness workouts often use a ballet barre to help participants improve balance, flexibility, and stability. In barre fitness, participants use their body weight as resistance to work against while holding the ballet barre for support or strength exercise.
Whether a ballet dancer or participant in barre fitness, you may want to continue your practice at home. Having a portable ballet barre in your home workout space is an essential part of recreating your art. Although a chair or bench could work, a ballet barre is more effective as it is designed for stability and designed to be at the perfect height.
Greatmats offers a couple of excellent ballet barre options for sale, making it possible for participants to create the perfect practice space.
9 Foot PortaBarre with Case
A 9-foot portable ballet barre is the perfect portable option. It has been designed by dancers, so it is the ideal quality for a great experience.

Not only can this aluminum ballet barre be used in a home studio, but it can also easily be transported to a class or practice setting in its convenient carrying case.
The PortaBarre uses an internal double button interlocking system, making assembly and disassembly fast and easy. No special tools or locking keys are required, and it weighs only 25 pounds. The heights are 32 inches from the ground to the top of the lower barre and 43 inches from the ground to the top of the higher barre.
