Ballet Barres and Brackets
Whether you choose Harlequin portable freestanding ballet barres or permanent wall-mounted ballet barres, you will realise they are almost a prerequisite for the dancer. Barre exercises focus on flexibility, strength, balance and precision. They also add a finishing touch to a dance studio or rehearsal space. Choose from single, double, square or oval, with custom bracket designs available to order.
Ballet Barres and Brackets
When the team at Harlequin Floors reached out to tell me that instead of sprung dance flooring, sports floors were being installed in the new SHSU Gaertner Performing Arts Centre dance spaces, I was not happy. Our dancers are athletic artists, but they do not wear cushioned basketball shoes! Most of the time their feet are covered by a thin piece of leather or nothing at all! I immediately contacted the construction team to tell them it was imperative that they put in proper dance floors. We needed the right floors and those floors were Harlequin. Needless to say, years later our Harlequin Activity and Harlequin Liberty sprung dance floors have contributed substantially to the first class character of our building and our department.
The Harlequin range of ballet barres
Single and double wall-mounted brackets & barres
Harlequin’s wall-mounted ballet barres feature various-shaped mounting plates
to suit the design of your studio.
Floor-mounted brackets & barres
There are many occasions when it is not possible to fix ballet barre brackets onto a wall – perhaps in front of dance mirrors or where a wall is not suitable to accept fixings.
Harlequin offers two types of floor-mounted ballet barres. The standard floor-mounted bracket is designed to be fitted at the same time as the installation of a Harlequin sprung floor, the vertical leg of the barre support is mounted onto the substrate and the sprung floor built around it. The retro-fit floor-mounted bracket can be mounted onto an existing floor, providing it is not sprung.
Retro-fitted floor-mounted brackets
Harlequin retro-fitted floor-mounted brackets are constructed from high grade steel with a powder coated finish. The base is fitted with a cover plate to hide the floor fittings and provide a streamlined look to your studio.
Harlequin retro-fitted floor-mounted brackets can be fitted professionally or purchased for self-install. The brackets are available black from stock and a range of colours to order.
Under window wall-mounted brackets and pillar brackets
Custom designed brackets to allow wall barres to be fitted across most windows or obstructions. Available to order. Please call us on +44 (0)1892 514 888.
Ballet barre corner angle sleeves
Harlequin’s ballet barre corner angle sleeve is designed to join the ends of two Harlequin pine or beech barres within a corner.
Freestanding ballet barres
Our professional studio quality barres are lightweight yet very stable. Constructed from anodised aluminium with a smooth silver finish, they are available with your choice of aluminium or beech barre.
Freestanding ballet barre extension kit
Harlequin’s freestanding portable ballet barre extension kit is constructed from anodised aluminium, with barres having a beech or smooth silver aluminium finish. This kit is best suited for use with our large freestanding ballet barre, although it can also be used with our medium and small versions.
