The Artan Balance portable ballet barre and marley floor is the perfect set for training at home. The barre is adjustable, high quality and sturdy. It is also very attractive and doesn’t take too much space.It was pretty easy and straightforward to put together. It took about 20 minutes average. The Marley floor is so important to avoid falls and injuries especially when you have laminate wooden floors at home. I absolutely love it! I tried both soft slippers and pointe shoes and it provides the perfect friction without having to use rosin. I’m starting ballet all over again after taking many years off and I feel safe doing so with this set! I would highly recommend it!
