The Best Home Ballet Barres for Every Dancer

If you have read our guide to choosing the best ballet barre you will know there are a lot of things to consider before purchasing one. With that in mind, the following are my recommendations for the best budget option which I have actually tested and have a video review of as well as my number one favourite portable ballet barre, with four others options to consider as they are either made from a different material or can be wall mounted.

Double Aluminium Barre

FulFit 4ft Portable Ballet Barre 

I have seen this particular barre sold by various Amazon sellers so when Fulfit approached me to test out their version I was all in. I have to say I was impressed! The barre was easy to set up and adjusts easily. It is lightweight for portability but is still fairly sturdy for balance. All the pieces came in great condition and the added stretch band and beginners online ballet course are a nice added bonus! You can Buy this budget barre from Amazon.com here.

For more information on this barre check out my review here with video and photos as well as some input from the guys at Fulfit who gave me some information about the barre as well as their company.

HIGHLIGHTS

Double Wood Barre

Vita Vibe Traditional portable wood double Ballet Barre 4 or 5ft.

This barre has powder-coated aluminium leg supports that can swing to the side for flat packing against a wall. It has two hardwood ash barres which are both adjustable and the whole thing comes with a handy carry bag. It also has rubber stoppers to ensure the barre doesn’t slip when used. You can Buy from Amazon.com.

They also have a single barre option which you can buy from Amazon.com here. As I have two girls of different heights I prefer the double. Both barres come in either 4ft or 5ft lengths and that decision will come down to how much space you have. With two girls I would have them on either side of the barre, so length won’t matter too much.

HIGHLIGHTS

Double Metal Barre

GOFLAME Ballet Barre Portable Double, Freestanding Ballet Barre Adjustable

This ballet barre is a powder-coated double aluminum ballet barre. It is lightweight yet strong and my favorite part is that it comes in 7 different colors! The leg supports can swing to the side for flat storage against the wall. The barres can be adjusted from between 6″ to 46″ from the surface of the floor and have a 10-year warranty. You can buy here from Amazon.com.

They also have a single barre option but it only comes in lengths of 4-5ft whereas the double barre caters lengths from 4ft to 8ft. They both come with rubber stoppers to ensure the barre doesn’t move when being used. You can buy the single metal ballet barre here from Amazon

HIGHLIGHTS

Double Metal Barre

Vita Vibe Traditional Wood Hinged Wall Mount Ballet Barre System.

This barre only comes in lengths of 40″, 56″ and 72″ but this is because the bracket works on a hinge system and the barre can be slightly lowered or made higher and even made to hang flat against the wall to keep it out of the way. You can buy it here on Amazon.com

HIGHLIGHTS

Metal Wall Mounted Barre

Vita Vibe – Single Barre Collared Professional Aluminum Fixed Height Wall Mount Ballet Barre 

This barre kit comes with a powder-coated aluminum 1-1.5″ thick barre. It also comes with brackets and fixings and comes in lengths from 4ft to 40ft. You can buy this metal wall fixed barre here on Amazon.com. 

HIGHLIGHTS

Wooden Wall Mounted Barre

Vita Vibe – Traditional Wood Double Barre Adjustable Height Wall Mount Ballet Barre

What is great about this wall mounted bar is that it is adjustable. It does take some tools and two people to make the adjustments, but for a wall mounted barre you have the peace of mind that you can raise the barres as your child gets older rather than have to take it off the and changed it’s placement in the future creating more work with fixing holes and dry walling. You can buy this barre here on amazon.com.
