If you're opening a new dance studio, there are going to be many things on
your mind. The space itself, decor, acoustics, and more are all important
considerations that can make or a break a studio. However, one item you really
should invest in from the start is a high quality, free-standing ballet barre.
Of all types of dance studio equipment, ballet barres pull
the studio together and make it a great place to practice.
What are the benefits to installing a free-standing ballet barre in a new
studio?
- Professionalism.
A ballet barre immediately makes a studio seem much more professional.
Most people associate barres with advanced levels of dance and athletics,
and in many people's minds, they define a studio. Without a barre, you
could really practice anywhere. Installing a high quality barre
shows students you are serious about dance.
- Versatility.
Ballet barres are useful for so much more than classic ballet (though they
remain great for that too). All forms of dance benefit by having a barre
to stretch at, and often to practice posture, feet placement and moves
requiring dexterity. Regardless of what kind of dance you will be
teaching, barres will be of use.
- Maximize Space.
Free-standing barres are particularly useful for new, or recently
re-located studios, that may be in a temporary or new space. Perhaps the
room has unconventional dimensions, or is a bit cramped. With barres that
are free-standing, and not affixed to a wall, you have much more freedom
to organize dancers and space the way you want. If you are focusing on
conditioning, move them to the center. If they're in the way, put them to
the side.
Ballet barres are a necessary purchase for new dance studios. When making
that important purchase, you want to choose a barre manufactured by a trusted
company. Boss Ballet Barres are known for making the strongest portable barres available,
and conveniently ships all over continental North America. Please contact
us for more information.
Boss Ballet Barres can be found in homes, schools, studios and universities all over North America, and we're so happy to see all of the different areas our barres travel to. However, as some of you may know, even shipping one barre can be expensive when it heads out to the extremes of the continent. We make them strong, so their weight counts against the shipping price, as can the length of the barres themselves. We have heard from some of our friends and fans in the past that they would like to buy more barres, but at times the shipping expense can be daunting.
We heard you, and we listened. After going to bat with our shipping company, and working out all kinds of scenarios and ideas, we are very happy to introduce $50.00 FLAT RATE ground shipping per barre, on ALL of our ballet barres. That's a pretty amazing deal, as it can mean literally HUNDREDS of dollars of savings on a typical order.
So how does it work? It's very simple: add any barre to your cart, and the ground shipping for that barre is only $50.00, regardless of where in continental North America (except Hawaii and Alaska, sorry!) you may be. Some examples:
1 x 8-Foot Barre? $50.00 Flat-Rate Ground Shipping (typically upwards of $110.00)
1 x 14-Foot Barre? $50.00 Flat-Rate Ground Shipping (typically upwards of $130.00)
1 x 6-Foot Barre? $50.00 Flat-Rate Ground Shipping (typically upwards of $80.00)
Add more barres, and each one only adds another $50.00 to the shipping total, as below:
2 x 8-Foot Barre? $100.00 Flat-Rate Ground Shipping (typically upwards of $220.00)
2 x 14-Foot Barre? $100.00 Flat-Rate Ground Shipping (typically upwards of $260.00)
2 x 6-Foot Barre? $100.00 Flat-Rate Ground Shipping (typically upwards of $160.00)
Keep in mind that this is also on top of any current sale we have going, such as the September Online Price sale running at the moment. Our website has already been updated, and is ready for your order. Please contact us if you have any questions or comments - we'd love to hear from you!
We know that above all else born dancers want to perform. They need
equipment to be at the same high level. We also know that dancing is not always
the most lucrative of professions. Dance organizations need to stretch their
budgets as much as the dancers stretch their muscles. Enter Boss Ballet Barres.
We have a reputation for producing the strongest, longest lasting product in
the industry. With Boss, you can make an investment you can depend on.
We have three varieties of barres:
- The Boss Barre Pro Series:
available in 14, 12, 10, and 8 foot models, these barres feature a larger
diameter than the Intermediate Series, made for situations where multiple users will be on the barre at the same time, constantly.
- The Boss Intermediate
Barre: this barre is made from high-grade structural steel and is built to withstand
heavy use in schools, studios and homes
- The Boss Princess Barre:
built in a smaller size and height than our other barres to accommodate young dancers from 2-6 years of age, the Princess Barre has
the strength that can lay the foundation for years of correct practice.
Our product has the strength and durability for continual use whether at
home, in school, in companies, or at competitions. We put the same care into it
that your dancers have placed in their art all these years.
You will not find better portable, free-standing ballet barres for the
money. Hands down, this is the best ballet barre value. Delivery is no problem
either. We ship to any destination in North America.
Please consult our website
for more information. We also have a twitter
feed with the latest news about our business. Don't hesitate to contact
us with any questions.
When we decided to create our ballet barres, we knew they would be the strongest portable ballet barres
available. How? Because our ballet barres evolved from our existing steel
company, Boss Steel Ltd. Founded over 20
years ago, Boss Steel is an industry leader, doing everything from supplying
raw materials to completing custom projects. The daughter of our company's
President (an accomplished ballerina herself) challenged us to create the
strongest portable ballet barres - and we did!
We took our 24+ years of steel expertise, knowledge, and thoughtful construction
and created Boss Ballet
Barres, a division of our parent company Boss Steel Ltd. By combining
our EuroKlemp line of
products with extremely strong structural steel tubing perfected at Boss
Steel, we were able to create a sturdy, durable portable ballet barre. How sure
are we that we've created the strongest possible ballet barre? We offer a
lifetime guarantee for our products.
Our parent company, Boss Steel, goes above and beyond the industry standard
to get the job done right, and we do too. When we designed our ballet
barres, we sought out dance and fitness industry feedback to ensure that we created a barre that
met the needs of actual dance professionals and studios. Consequently, our
barres are stronger, more stable, and longer-lasting than other portable ballet
barres available. We know that dancers need a strong foundation to
learn proper technique, and we're proud to produce a barre they can place their
full trust in. And fitness centers put their barres through even more rigorous paces, which Boss Ballet Barres easily stand up to, over and over again.

A growing trend in the fitness industry is the inclusion of a different kind
of fitness equipment - the ballet barre. Ballet
bootcamps and barre workouts have become increasing popular over the past few
years, with studios spreading from major city to start-ups in small towns, and
many fitness clubs offering classes featuring the barre.
If your studio or fitness center has not yet incorporated barre workouts
into the programming, now is the time to change that. For fitness enthusiasts
looking to switch up their usual workout routine, or individuals who are
ballerinas at heart, these type of classes are providing a solid workout that
combines ballet, yoga, Pilates with balance exercises, for full body fitness.
Offering barre workout classes provides a new fitness experience that will keep
your customers coming back for more. Additionally, with so many members of the
general population seeking out barre classes, offering these classes will get
new customers into the door as well.
With Boss Ballet
Barres, setting up a barre studio has never been easier. With a variety of
sizes that are easy to set up and take down, it is possible to transform any
open space into a ballet studio. This means a barre class can be held in the
same location as other cardio classes, eliminating the need to find additional
space. A prime feature of these barres are their portability factor: gone are
the days where a barre has to be affixed to a wall. With Boss Ballet Barres,
simply set up the barre in any area and use the available Boss Barre
Dolly to move it from room to room as needed.
Not only portable, each of the different barres are known for their
durability due to high-strength steel construction, and wide leg base offering
maximum stability. Available in a variety of lengths, and some with adjustable center
bars, they are perfect for everyone from beginner to professional.
Your fitness center or studio can be the hot topic of conversation with the
simple addition of a ballet barre and barre workout classes.

More and more people are discovering the benefits of using a dance barre to stay physically
fit. The key to any good exercise program involves injury prevention, and here
are just a few ways you can stay safe on the barre.
The most common injuries involve the lower back, feet and hips, and
are typically caused by poor form. To avoid these common injuries, you should
focus on keeping your spine long and avoid excessive “pelvic tucks.” Ideally,
you should feel no strain whatsoever when tucking your pelvis under if your
body is positioned properly.
Another way to ensure you maintain a long spine is to pull your abs in and
up while exercising. Avoid the urge to compress your abs, as this could
actually cause a strain in your lower back instead.
Many people have a tendency to develop foot injuries after performing
repeated relevés, which involve lifting the heel off the ground and
balancing yourself. If performing high relevés causes you foot pain, lower your
position somewhat or wear sneakers with arch supports rather than ballet shoes.
You may want to adjust your position when performing turnouts as well. In
the beginning, turn your feet outward at approximately a 45-degree angle, and
then adjust your position as needed to relieve any strain on your knees and
hips. The ideal position should feel very natural rather than being awkward or
forced.
Working out in front of a mirror is another excellent way to ensure you use
correct form and maintain good posture throughout your workout. Using a mirror
can also help you build confidence, since you are likely to become more fluid
and graceful as you advance.
The right ballet barre can also play an important role in ensuring you stay
injury free. Here at Boss Ballet Barres, we have one of the widest selections
available, and invite you to contact us to
find out more.
For dancers of all kinds, ballet barres are an essential part of their education. It allows a degree of stretching that regular floor exercises cannot
achieve. These barres provide a support when they are young and learning how to
balance, and in their more advanced classes as a vital pointe warm-up tool.
Free-standing barres provide portability without skimping on durability. Here
are a few factors to keep in mind when finding new free-standing barres for your
studio:
- Ensure the barres you choose have non-marking foot pads, to ensure your investment in good flooring does not get damaged.
- A wider leg stance creates a much more stable barre; a very important feature to look for.
- Size is key; measure out
how much space you can allow for a free-standing barre during class and for
storage.
- Construction of the barre
should be simple and easy, and not wasting your valuable time.
- Powder coated barres mean
that you spend less time maintaining them, unlike wood that must be kept
from drying out, splintering and collecting bacteria.

colors, and portability options like the Boss Barre Dolly,
