Designed for movement. Tested to withstand.

In high-intensity disciplines such as barre fitness, the barre becomes a central element of the workout. More than just a point of support, it is used throughout exercises that work on balance and strength. Having stable, durable supports is essential for training with complete confidence.

At Dinamica Ballet, we have developed two floor supports for spaces that demand maximum control during intensive sessions, with high loads and rapid shifts in weight: Pina-Fix Fitness, for two wooden beams, and Avant-Fix Fitness, for a single beam.

The geometry of both products — featuring a wide base with six anchoring points, a double-column structure with a diagonal brace, and a plate that securely holds the barre without damaging the wood — helps optimize load distribution during exercise and control lateral movement.

As part of the Fitness Collection development process, we subjected our prototypes to a series of load tests, analysing their behaviour under different types of stress to create solid, reliable supports without compromising on a contemporary aesthetic.

The demands of training, tested in the lab

To put our products to the test, we worked with the AIDIMME Technological Institute, which has specialised laboratories for material strength testing. The tests were carried out using sets of two supports positioned 180 centimetres apart and connected by two-metre wooden barres. We tested both floor-support models in the collection and used several samples to obtain an objective reference of their load capacity.

Vertical load test

In this test, force is applied downwards to the centre of the barre. This is the type of load generated in exercises such as pliés, squats, lunges and leg-strength exercises, where the barre is used as a point of support.

Horizontal load test

In this case, force is applied laterally to the barre. This type of stress occurs during balance exercises, arabesques and inclined positions, where the barre acts as a support and the body generates lateral force, either pushing or pulling against it.


Proven resistance: 320 kg vertically and 270 kg horizontally

The test results demonstrate the high load capacity of the Fitness Collection floor supports for intensive training environments. The unit of force used in the tests is the kilonewton (kN), with 1 kN equivalent to 101.94 kilograms-force (kgf).

Avant-Fix Fitness | Single beam

3,14kN ≈ 320 kg

2,42 kN ≈ 247 kg

Pina-Fix Fitness | Double beam

2,88 kN ≈ 294 kg

2,67 kN ≈ 272 kg

Both models showed similar performance. For the Avant-Fix Fitness floor support for a single wooden barre, the maximum vertical load reached was 320 kg, while the horizontal load reached 247 kg. For the Pina-Fix Fitness support for two barres, the maximum vertical load reached was 294 kg, while the horizontal load reached 272 kg.

Both configurations, for one and two barres, are designed for practice sessions involving several adults. The results confirm one of the key priorities behind the development of the Fitness Collection: creating supports capable of meeting the demands of intensive professional use without compromising the aesthetics of the product.

Thinking about equipping or upgrading your training space? The Fitness Collection is designed to suit a range of environments, from barre and Pilates studios to gyms and functional training spaces.

AURI Danse: a new dance space in the heart of the Swiss Alps

In Martigny, in the Swiss canton of Valais, at the foot of the Alps, AURI DANSE has opened its doors as a new dance school founded by Lauriane Salm, a classical dance teacher with more than fifteen years of teaching experience across different parts of the world, from Switzerland and France to Vietnam and the …

In Martigny, in the Swiss canton of Valais, at the foot of the Alps, AURI DANSE has opened its doors as a new dance school founded by Lauriane Salm, a classical dance teacher with more than fifteen years of teaching experience across different parts of the world, from Switzerland and France to Vietnam and the island of Mayotte, off the coast of Madagascar.

The project was created with a clear focus on providing demanding yet supportive dance education in a professional setting, where every student can discover dance and progress at their own pace. From the first steps of younger children to the more technical work of teenagers and adults, the school offers classical ballet, Modern Jazz and contemporary dance, following a teaching approach rooted in the French tradition and enriched by contemporary and international influences.

Design and functionality for everyday practice

The studio features an elegant, functional and bright practice space, with every element centred around dance. The main classroom is spacious and comfortable, with large mirrors, views of the surrounding mountains and a layout designed for everyday practice.

Our PINA ballet barres complete the space, offering great versatility for training thanks to their double-bar design and wheeled base. A total of eight linear metres of barre have been installed across five supports, which can be arranged according to the needs of each class while integrating naturally into the design of the building.

For Lauriane and her partner Vincent, the equipment needed to meet the demands of everyday practice while fitting seamlessly into the visual identity of the space:

“From the outset, we wanted to invest in professional, durable equipment. We were impressed by the PINA barres for their quality, stability and aesthetics. Now that the studio is up and running, we are really pleased with our choice: they have become an integral part of the space’s identity.”

Lauriane Salm

Founder of AURI Danse Studio

With the opening of AURI DANSE, a new chapter begins for Lauriane Salm, and a new space for dance takes shape in Martigny. At Dinamica Ballet, we are delighted to be part of this new beginning and to contribute, with our ballet barres, to the school’s everyday practice.

Dinamica Ballet continues to expand its presence in the fitness and functional training world through a collaboration agreement with the Federazione Italiana Fitness (FIF), one of Italy’s leading organizations dedicated to education and the promotion of physical activity.

The latest edition of RiminiWellness provided the perfect setting to introduce this partnership. Widely recognized as one of the most important international events focused on movement, wellness and training, it brings together thousands of professionals, educators, brands and enthusiasts every year.

Barre Training Evolution: When Dance Inspires New Ways to Train

One of the highlights of the event was the presentation of Barre Training Evolution, a methodology promoted by the FIF that combines principles drawn from dance and Pilates to improve strength, coordination and body control. It is a clear example of how the techniques and training methods traditionally associated with dancers continue to inspire new approaches to movement and physical conditioning.

For the practical sessions held during the event, the Federazione Italiana Fitness selected our Pina double portable ballet barres. Their stability and reliability made it possible to create training areas capable of accommodating dozens of participants throughout the various activities and demonstrations held during RiminiWellness.The growing interest in this discipline was also reflected in the coverage published by La Gazzetta dello Sport, one of Italy’s leading sports newspapers.

Danza Clásica No Under 40: a new space in Barcelona featuring ISA ballet barres

The project led by Alina Quintana — a dancer with a professional career in Cuba and a classical ballet teacher trained in the Vaganova method — continues to grow with the opening of a new studio in Barcelona.

The project led by Alina Quintana — a dancer with a professional career in Cuba and a classical ballet teacher trained in the Vaganova method — continues to grow with the opening of a new studio in Barcelona. After establishing her concept in Milan, this new space marks another step forward in the development of her Danza Clásica No Under 40 method.

Her approach is rooted in an innovative vision: bringing classical ballet closer to mature women through a methodology that is thoughtfully adapted, respectful of the body, and technically structured. Rather than offering a simplified version of the discipline, the method seeks to preserve the essence of classical dance while taking into account the body, the pace of learning, and each student’s life experience.

This vision has shaped a community and a project with a strong identity, also reflected in her book Danza Clásica No Under 40, where she shares the conceptual and emotional foundations of her methodology.

ISA ballet barres at the heart of the practice

The new Barcelona studio, located on Via Laietana, a central avenue connecting the historic city centre with the seafront, has been conceived as a functional and welcoming environment where ballet barres play a central role. The choice of equipment reflects the need for versatile solutions, capable of adapting to different working dynamics and groups of women with diverse profiles.

For this project, Alina Quintana has once again chosen our height-adjustable mobile ISA ballet barres, also used in her Milan studios. Their design allows for flexible studio configurations, facilitating technical work, easy height adjustment, and comfort in group sessions. The overall stability, combined with the precision provided by Melis pine wood, ensures confidence for consistent and safe practice.

Beyond the studio: a community that also comes to life on stage

The Danza Clásica No Under 40 method also extends beyond the classroom through workshops and events designed to offer students a broader experience — one that connects not only to learning, but also to emotion, celebration, and performance.

One such event took place at the Teatro del Popolo in Gallarate, where Alina Quintana brought her students together for an open session that transformed technical work into a shared experience, showcasing the evolution of her community. These initiatives reinforce the idea that classical ballet can become, even later in life, a powerful form of expression, confidence and personal rediscovery.

At Dinamica Ballet, we are proud to be part of projects like Alina Quintana’s — initiatives that bring classical ballet to mature women through a thoughtful, safe and purpose-driven approach. Projects that understand the importance of respecting each student’s body, rhythm and experience, opening the door to a more conscious, personal and expressive way of dancing.

Music and movement: our Pina barres featured in a Spanish prime-time talent show

Our ballet barres have once again demonstrated their versatility and professional performance, this time in a very special setting: the academy of Operación Triunfo, Spain’s most popular musical talent show. The session was led by Gloria Morales, dancer, teacher, and creator of Ballet Fit, a discipline that fuses classical ballet technique with fitness training to improve posture, strength, and body awareness.

During the class, the contestants of the program worked with six of our Pina double mobile barres. The result was an energetic and inspiring session that showed how ballet can connect with other forms of movement to create new ways of expressing the body.

For some participants, it was their first experience at the barre, and they embraced it with curiosity and enthusiasm, following Gloria’s rhythm and guidance throughout the session. In a television environment where every detail matters and spaces must constantly adapt, our Pina barres proved their reliability once again: quick to assemble, stable during every exercise, and perfectly suited for paired work.

The Pina is one of our most recognized and versatile ballet barres. Designed for schools, academies, and dance companies that need mobility without compromising stability, it combines elegant lines with a robust steel frame and balanced weight. Its double wood barres at two heights make it suitable for users of different statures, while its stable bases, available with flat or wheeled supports, include rubber stoppers that protect the floor and prevent unwanted movement. Thanks to its easy assembly, the Pina adapts perfectly to spaces that require flexibility, whether in dance studios, fitness centres, or television productions that demand professional and aesthetic equipment.

At Dinamica Ballet, we’ve been designing and manufacturing professional equipment for dance, performing arts, and fitness for over two decades. Seeing our barres in such a dynamic creative environment reaffirms our purpose: to create tools that support dancers, teachers, and artists in their technical and artistic growth. This collaboration reflects how classical dance continues to merge with other disciplines, giving rise to new ways of moving. We embrace this evolution, providing the tools that inspire and sustain every form of movement.

Germany is a country where our ballet barres are highly appreciated, not only by dance schools and professional companies but also by clients from other fields who value quality, stability, and design. This is the case of AMIKUS, a company specialized in occupational safety and workplace medicine in the city of Straubing, which has incorporated our Royale height-adjustable premium mobile ballet barre into its facilities.

A company committed to health and wellbeing

AMIKUS provides prevention, occupational safety, and health services for companies in different industries. Their goal is to promote safe, healthy, and sustainable work environments for all types of people. Within this commitment to wellbeing, physical activity and movement also play an important role. That’s why they chose our Royale premium ballet barre, one of the most versatile and robust in our collection.

An excellent experience with Dinamica Ballet

Their team shared with us a very positive review of both the shopping experience and the product, which we proudly share here. They highlight the simplicity of the purchasing process, the personalized assistance in German provided by our colleague Beatrice, the fast delivery, and the exceptional quality and stability of the ballet barre:

Perfect service from the very first moment.

Selecting the product on the website was very easy. Since we had a few questions, I tried calling, and —what a positive surprise!— it wasn’t an artificial voice, but Bea, a very kind person who spoke German. All my questions were quickly answered, and we placed an order for a 2-meter double premium height-adjustable Royale barre.

We immediately received an email confirmation, and throughout the entire delivery process we were kept informed without having to ask. Many German companies could learn from this! It’s rare to feel so well taken care of as a customer. The delivery was announced for Thursday, but it already arrived on Monday, perfectly packed and right at our doorstep. How lucky! We could start practicing earlier than expected.

Since it’s a heavy product of over 70 kg, if stairs are involved and there’s no elevator, two people should handle the parts. The supports come separately packaged and weigh more than 30 kg each — now that’s real quality.

For assembly, the included Allen key is enough to slightly loosen the screws and slide in the perfectly polished bar. A small tip: in the double-bar system, you can align them with a level; we left a 20 cm offset. Tighten crosswise and you’re done!
The product quality is excellent. Nothing moves; the heavy bases provide great stability, yet thanks to the wheels, it can be moved easily (very well thought out). Since we also have clients who weigh considerably more than ballet dancers 😊, stability was very important to us — and this barre is truly stable!

10 out of 10 points! There’s absolutely nothing negative to say — and that’s a real joy these days.

Keep it up!

Premium materials, functionality and stability for any environment

The Royale is our most complete mobile ballet barre: made with high-quality materials, it is sturdy, elegant, but easy to move. Its height adjustment system and heavy bases provide the performance required by AMIKUS’s working environment, which involves clients with very diverse physical profiles. We are proud to see how at Dinamica Ballet we can offer solutions not only to dance professionals but also to companies that promote health and wellbeing from other sectors. We sincerely thank AMIKUS for their trust.

This summer, we held two new photo shoots to showcase our products in real-life settings. Alongside performing arts photographer Pep Casadevall, with whom we share a sensitive artistic vision and a deep passion for movement, we collaborated with two renowned dance schools that opened their doors to us and allowed us to capture the energy of their dancers.

The first shoot took place at Barcelona Dance Center, a school focused on the professional training of dancers. Located in Molins de Rei and affiliated with the Alicia Alonso University Institute of Dance, the school offers a classical and contemporary dance program for young dancers and supports its junior company, BCN City Ballet. In their spacious, naturally lit practice room, we worked with three dancers trained at the center, who showcased their strength, technique, and elegance while interacting with our professional ballet barres and mirrors.

Two weeks later, we visited Dansa Maria Yudes School, where we had the opportunity to photograph both young dancers and children taking their very first steps in the world of dance. With over 40 years of experience, Maria Yudes passionately runs her school by the sea in Badalona. She teaches from an early age in an environment of discipline, respect, and continuous growth, using innovative methodologies with a clear focus on excellence. The welcoming atmosphere, the students’ energy, and the beauty of the space resulted in images full of life and authenticity.

The Latvian National Opera, one of the most prestigious cultural institutions in the Baltic region, has long championed excellence in the performing arts from its historic home in the heart of Riga. Within its artistic structure, the Latvian National Ballet has become a key player in the European dance scene, blending classical heritage with a contemporary perspective. For over a century, the country’s only professional ballet company has trained generations of dancers and choreographers, keeping the spirit of ballet alive through passion, discipline, and creativity.

Under the artistic direction of Aivars Leimanis, a central figure in Latvia’s cultural landscape, the company continues to expand its celebrated repertoire while maintaining the highest standards in technical preparation. Leimanis played an important role in the selection process of our ballet barres, strengthening a collaboration that began fifteen years ago and has now been renewed by the Latvian National Opera.

At Dinamica Ballet, we are proud that such a respected institution has chosen our products once again. Our height-adjustable ISA ballet barre and the professional Avant model have been added to four existing Maurice premium barres. These barres now equip their rehearsal studios, offering the dancers the safety, stability, and freedom of movement required for daily training and touring.

Today, principal dancers like Yuliya Brauer and Elza Leimane shine both in Latvia and internationally, while renowned choreographers such as Edward Clug, Krzysztof Pastor, and Aivars Leimanis himself shape a repertoire that evolves without losing its artistic roots. We thank Leimanis once again for choosing our products, and we are truly grateful to the Latvian National Opera for its trust since 2011. We hope our barres will continue to support the growth and international reach of the Latvian National Ballet.
