Online Workouts - Balance work in the Centre

In a traditional ballet class, the barre section was classed as the warm up in preparation for the work in the centre. Exercises at the barre were thought of as easier, since the barre was there to help support the body and assist in balance. In the centre of the room, there is no barre to hold on to and therefore this component is technically more challenging for your balance without the barre to assist you. Plies, arabesques, fondues and leg abduction exercises are included in this section to work the butt and thighs. Balance is one of your motor control skills and improves each time you choose to exercise using balance.
