Floor Barre with Adult Ballet Centre
Influenced by Boris Kniaseff, the Floor Barre method is an invaluable tool for helping adult dancers and the general population develop strength, core control, coordination, flexibility, understanding of ballet turnout, and correct positioning and alignment.
Muscle and Joint Strength: Floor Barre corrects alignment, enhances muscle strength, and nurtures joint health, all while minimizing the impact of gravity. Tension Release: This gentle yet effective approach elongates and strengthens muscles, alleviating tension from the neck and joints.
Technical Precision: Enhances alignment, turnout, muscle engagement, connection to the body, prepares ready for ballet class.
Muscle Memory: Builds memory for correct positions and movements.
Improved Posture: Emphasises proper alignment, preventing typical mistakes made at the barre.
