Fitness Ballet Barre

About Fitness Ballet Barre

Barre fitness is a hybrid workout class – combining ballet-inspired moves with elements of Pilates, dance, yoga and strength training. Most classes incorporate a ballet barre and use classic dance moves such as plies, alongside static stretches. Barre also focuses on high reps of small range movements. But the real difference between barre and other workouts are the isometric movements you usually perform – holding your body still while you contract specific muscles, until you shake and feel the burn.

Barre, a ballet-based dance workout (named after the barre ballet dancers use), is anything but easy. This type of workout uses movements inspired by dance, Pilates, and yoga to work your muscles—particularly lower-body muscles in your calves and ankles—and challenge your cardiovascular endurance. The class focuses on cardio, strength training, and stretching, rather than perfect dance technique. You will be impressed by how much each class challenges your entire body. We offer the best at-home barre workouts to sweat and move when you want.

This is a barre for beginning level ballet students of all ages. In this app, we move very slowly and methodically and work on placement, strength, musicality, and technique. However this is also great for advanced dancers who want to work on basics. The low impact chair barre workout is fun, fast-paced, and efficient. Whether you’re a ballet dancer looking for a way to do something a little different in addition to ballet class, or a workout enthusiast looking to change things up, ballet barre workouts might be just for you.
