Ballet Barres and Brackets

Whether you choose portable freestanding or permanent wall-mounted Australian Harlequin ballet barres, you will realise they are almost a prerequisite for the dancer. Ballet barres, also known as ballet rails, exercise the performer’s focus on flexibility, strength, balance and precision. They also add a finishing touch to a dance studio or rehearsal space. Choose from single, double, square or oval, with custom bracket designs available to order.

Who we work with

The Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, Germany has been using Harlequin Liberty and Harlequin Activity sprung floors in its dance and practice rooms for over ten years now. Despite intensive use for six days a week, the floors are still in very good condition to this day, leaving staff, students and teachers satisfied with their performance.

The Harlequin range of ballet barres

Single and double wall-mounted brackets & barres

Harlequin wall-mounted ballet barres feature various shaped mounting plates

to suit the design of your studio. These options include ballet rails which are mounted with a single square and single oval mount or a double square and double oval mount. 

Floor-mounted brackets & barres

There are many occasions when it is not possible to fix ballet barre brackets onto a wall – perhaps in front of mirrors or where a wall is not suitable to accept fixings.

Harlequin offers two types of floor-mounted ballet barres. The standard floor-mounted bracket is designed to be fitted at the same time as the installation of a Harlequin sprung floor, the vertical leg of the barre support is mounted onto the substrate and the sprung floor built around it. The retro-fit floor-mounted bracket can be mounted onto an existing floor, providing it is not sprung.

Retro-fitted floor mounted brackets

Harlequin retro-fitted floor-mounted brackets are constructed from high grade steel with a powder coated finish. The ballet rail base is fitted with a cover plate to hide the floor fittings and provide a streamlined look to your studio.

Harlequin retro-fitted floor-mounted brackets can be fitted professionally or purchased for self-install. The brackets are available black from stock and a range of colours to order.

Under window wall-mounted brackets and pillar brackets

Custom designed brackets to allow wall barres to be fitted across most windows or obstructions. Available to order. Please call us on +44 (0)1892 514 888.

Ballet barre corner angle sleeves

The Harlequin ballet barre corner angle sleeve is specifically designed to join the ends of two Harlequin pine or beech barres within a corner.

Freestanding ballet barres

Our professional studio quality wooden ballet barres are lightweight yet very stable. Constructed from beech and anodised aluminium with a smooth silver finish, they are perfect for solo practise. 

Freestanding ballet barre extension kit

Harlequin’s freestanding portable ballet barre extension kit is constructed from anodised aluminium, with barres having a beech or smooth silver aluminium finish. This kit is best suited for use with our large freestanding wooden ballet barre, although it can also be used with our medium and small versions.
