Ballet barre tutorial

Hi everyone!
I hope you all had a great week, full of finding ways to bring happiness into your life.
As promised on my Facebook page

Without further ado...here is the tutorial for you.

What you need,

Step 1.
I used 2 inch diameter PVC.
Take the two 9 inch pieces and connect on each side of a "T" joint. 
Repeat with the other two 9 inch pieces and "T " joint.
Those are the Barre legs.

Step 2.
Take a 30 inch piece and connect to a "T" joint, then connect a 3 inch
piece to other side. On top of your 3 inch piece connect a curve joint. Repeat step 2 with your other 30 inch piece.

Step 3
Now you're going to connect the two pieces you just made in step 2 (the sides of the barre) to your two 5 foot peices. (These are your hand rails) .


Step 4.
Add the feet you made in step 1.

There you have it! Your very own Ballet barre for under $30 bucks and in four easy steps! You can buy special PVC glue to hold it all together permanently. I like that I can take mine apart as needed, so I did not not glue mine. If you chose to not glue yours please be aware there IS a risk of it coming apart during use. You've been warned. If children will be using the Barre I highly suggest you glue it.  I'm  not responsible for any ingury to anyone who uses this barre ...ok ,now that I've put a disclaimer on this
I hope you enjoy your barre! Here is one of my favorite barre workouts taught by the beautiful and talented ballerina Katheryn Morgan. 
Happy dancing!!
