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.
