Thank you for sharing this video. I just made a champagne pink barre for my quarantine workout! Super easy and sturdy!
Ooooh champagne pink sounds fabulous!!
This was such an easy tutorial. I made a slightly more narrow barre so it’s more compact for storage, for my purposes 24” was plenty! I also bought some “super grip” bottoms for the feet to help with sturdiness/stability and keep from scratching the floor!
Great additions to the barre! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Great idea! I would change 1 thing on this design that will make it much sturdier and much easier to put together without it flopping around. Simply by applying some Teflon Plumber's Tape to the threads of the pipe before assembly. It would allow you to adjust the angles anyway you wish while still having a secure fit. Teflon Tape takes seconds to apply and is costs less than $1 at most home improvement stores.
Thank you for sharing this! I will try that for the next barre I make, and maybe to adjust some of the ones we already have.

My pleasure! Would love to know how it turns out!
Thanks for the short, informative video. I have wanted to make a bar for my home for a while.
Thank you SO much!! Super easy description!! Beginning Ballet so I didn’t want to spend a fortune on my first bar. This is PERFECT!❤
You are my favorite ballerina now. Thank you so much.
My daughter would love this
Helpful and very funny too! Thanks for the advice.
Awesome! Thank you!
Very helpful 👌 ☺ 🙂 👏 thank you so much for this video!
Very nice. I thought one could put this together on their own. 😀👍🍀👍
very cool! could you also share some secrets about how you made your ballet floor? I really enjoy seeing other adult ballet enthusiasts!
The floor here is marley, which unfortunately is fairly expensive and can be hard to get just a little of to have in the house. Jana's pieces were leftover from my studio when we closed. I am currently researching marley alternatives for home use. I will definitely let you know if/when I find anything!!
thanks so much!
I've heard shower liner is the same as marley?
Thank you! You just saved me so much money!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the tutorial! Does this type of bar can bear pointe work?
Yes! Absolutely. This is the same type of barre I used in my studio. I do recommend going with the 1 inch pipe if you feel like you will need to bear more weight on it, and also definitely getting the 8" for the 'T' pieces - which will ultimately make it a little sturdier.
This is how my dance teacher made the barres for her studio
Awesome, thank you for this! The only thing is that I was hoping it would end with a demonstration of using the barre :) Just to see how strong it is and so forth! Thanks again!
It's the same type of barre we both use in all our videos, so you can see them demonstrated in many of our past videos. They are sturdy enough to be used in regular studio settings.

what size is the width. I did 1 inch with plastic pipes and it's very unstable.
That's wonderful, thank you so much for your reply!
Can I use a closet rack as a substitute?
Hey! Thanks for the tutorial! Are all the pipes 3/4?
Yes, that's what was used here! You can get thicker if you want a somewhat more heavy duty barre, just make sure all the pieces and connections are the same. :-)
thank you thank you thank you!!!!
I need dis 😂
How much did materials cost?
It's a little over $100 at Home Depot. Note that you might want to use 1.25" tube to better "feel" since 3/4" is pretty thin.
Could i build the barre more bigger ?
woever thought of this first is a f**ing genius!!
I know right! It wasn't them, but whoever it is!!!
How tall are you/how tall does the barre come to be?
How do you make one with two horizontal pipes?..
Both barres in the video seem pretty tall. What's the standard height? Do you have a tutorial on how to create a double barre with varying heights? Thank you!
Standard barre height is 40" to 42" above the floor. We do not have a tutorial for a double barre, but we will be releasing a video soon featuring a barre that can be purchased for a good price that is a double barre!
@@BallerinasByNight Thank you!
Has anybody made any longer barres? I'm wanting to make a couple for my dance studio and just wondering how they hold up (:
They hold up great! I made several for our studio, and have taught at several studios that use the same basic concept to make them. I would consider thicker piping the longer you want the barre, and longer pieces on the bottom to stabilize it. :-)
You could also put a T connector between barre lengths to add a middle “leg” for extra stability on long lengths.
Genna what's the correct height for an adult that makes a huge difference to placement stretches etc
I believe 40-42 inches is a standard height!
So I got the materials and put the barre together, but it's quite wobbly at the moment cause certains connections had to not be tightened as much as they can be in order for things to line up properly. Any ideas on how to tackle this?
The recommendation we got was to use Teflon Plumber's tape, and that will give it a more secure fit.
Teflon tape will allow you to tighten it more easily. And if you have a pipe wrench, that's the ticket. You can always get another half turn with a little leverage!
How much weight can this barre hold? I mean can I do barre streching?
Yes, these barres are very sturdy and can hold the weight of the leg for barre stretch!
Whats the length of the longer bar in the background?
6ft :)
@@BallerinasByNight is the barre in the back taller and longer? Or just longer? I would like to make the 6ft one. In the video it looks like the 6ft barre is taller than the one you made in the video. Is it?
Hi. What is the length of the longer one? Thank u
6ft!
@@BallerinasByNight thank you for replying. I went on your blog. It looks great...
It would be great to know the price and currency. :)
It was approximately $75 US Dollars :)
Really? I don’t have that material I will buy it at internet and put it at my house, if for me rather buy the simple and can placed everywhere or ask the people really to put the bar in the wall? Help me choose one
I think I am understanding your question - whether it's better to have a barre attached to the wall or a freestanding one that can be moved? It just depends on your preference and the amount of space you have! Either one is a great option.
Ballerinas By Night ok thanks I think I will pick the bar like the one in the video but a bit bigger
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans
. The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom.
If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. It's not about following the law - perfectly, as it's impossible - it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction).
He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.
He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way.
NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus.
If you have any questions let me know
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I watches your video yesterday when I tried to search in vain a good ballet barre. And I had done my ballet barre today with your video. It works perfectly with help of Teflon Plumber's Tape
