Build for dancers of all ages Barre a terre carries the whole ballet class exercises at the barre now on the floor. This is an alternative to the barre and a very useful and safe methos to warm up the body and fully understand the dynamic and execution of some movements. The difference between a normal class and the Barre a terre class is that with a positioning on the floor the attention is more on the precision of the movements since the body is lying on a rigid surface that provides stability. The qualities this course aims to improve are joint mobility, strenght, balance and control of the posture.
the exercises taken from the ballet barre are performed simmetrically and 'bit by bit' challenging the deeper and the more superficial body muscles beginning with  quicker exercises to warm up the body and finishing with exercises that require holding the positions, working on the extrarotation of the joints and on the awarness and adjustment of the bad posture habits while standing. The end of the class is focuses on the stretching of the whole body and more intense mobility exercises.
Barre a terre is raccomended to dancers coming from all types of dance, to those who'd love taking ballet classes but have issues with posture and holding positions while standing in order to gain more strenght, to those who've been too long without a class and need to re-start slowly and to those who need a bit of rehabilitation after injuries or bad spine alignment.
