Height of the barre off the floor
It is recommended that two heights of barre be offered to
accommodate the different heights of students in the class. The hands should
never be lower than the elbows when placed on the barre. This allows the dancer
to exert a light pressure downward through the palm, calling into play the
muscles of the back and enhancing the upward lift of the body.
