A Barre
Ballet barres are basically long poles made of wood, plastic, or metal that ballet dancers use during the beginning portion of class known as "barre." They are used a support for the dancer when they are learning, although you are not supposed to rely on the barre too much. Ballet barres are often attached along the walls of a studio, but are also freestanding.
