Wood ballet barres are the preferred and standard traditional choice in the professional ballet industry. Unlike metal or plastic barres, the natural product will absorb sweat (won’t get slippery) and provide slight flexibility. This slight flexibility in wood barres provide anti-stress on joints, especially on the ballet barre method training. In ballet, barres are typically used for balance only so dancers learn to hold their own weight.
Is the dancer new to ballet and not sure which barre length to get? Here are some tips:

The holes in Alvas Standard Barres are always separated by multiples of 16” to allow the mounting of every bracket directly into a wall stud- most wood wall studs are 16” apart. (If you are unsure of your stud spacing, we recommend using an electronic wood wall stud finder or consulting a contractor).
Holes are pre-drilled into the barres so that Alvas Wall Mount Ballet Barre Fixed Brackets and Extensions (on Wall Mount Ballet Barre Adjustable Brackets, Freestanding Ballet Barre Frames and Floor Mounted Ballet Barre Frames) are ready for installation and actually screw into the rear side of the barre. This allows your hand or foot to slide across the barre without hitting the brackets.

Perfect straightness is difficult to obtain in a natural product like wood.
Step 1: Sight down barre to determine apex of the warp.
Step 2: Center the 4’ level on the apex and secure the level to the barre (using tape, tie, etc) as shown in the diagram.
Step 3: Attempt to slide the 3/16” drill bit into the gap.
Step 4: If the drill bit slides freely and completely through the gap, then the barre is beyond our warp tolerance. Immediately call Alvas for return instructions.
