What is Barre?

Barre 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 focuses on low-impact, high repetition movements that are designed to strengthen and tone muscles, improve posture, and increase flexibility. It is commonly used as a fitness method to achieve a lean and toned physique.
