What is Barre?

This fitness class coined its term from the concept of the Ballet Barre; a horizontal beam usually fixed to a wall (though can be free standing) that is used to assist with Ballet moves such as Pliés, Tendus and Arabesques.

It is a fantastic workout class that brings together two incredible disciplines that have been around (and proven their benefits) for decades.
