In class, Ballet dancers will do exercises at the barre to improve certain areas of their technique, such as turnout, strength, endurance, balance, or the execution of a certain move.
Outside of class, the number of training methods are vast and vary between region, company, and dancer.
Many use elastic resistance bands to train, tone, and strengthen muscles. Training using weights and resistance machines is also common.
Dancers will also stretch very frequently, as flexibility is a must in ballet.

What is the bar called the ballet dancers use?
It is actually called a barre.
How do ballet dancers dance?
Ballet involves graceful movements of the body and the use of facial expressions to portray a story. Ballet involves lots of jumping and turning, but also a lot of slow balancing and lithe movements. Male ballet dancers usually do a lot of the jumping and fast movements as they require maximum strength, and females usually do the more graceful things. Female dancers also dance en pointe which is where the end of the shoe and the sole of the shoe are hardened so that the dancer can balance on the very ends of their toes. This takes strength in the feet and legs and also good balance, along with years of training. Ballet is one of the hardest things that people can do, but the best ballet dancers make it look easy. That is why there is a common misconception that ballet is easy, and many people think it is rubbish. Only the smarter ones know the true brilliance of a ballet dancer.
