ABSTRACT:
A flying ballet barre assembly is mounted across the width of a room and supported by a lifting system capable of moving the entire ballet barre vertically between a position of use near the floor and a storage position near the ceiling. Opposite ends of the ballet barre are equipped with a slide which cooperates with a slide groove in an upright support at each side which guides and supports the ballet barre while it is raised and lowered. The lifting system is powered by an electric motor which is controlled by a switch. The flying ballet barre assembly can be quickly lowered for use and then raised to the storage position so that the room in which it is mounted can be used for other purposes. A particular advantage is the lateral flexibility with the long ballet barre supported from cables which provides a dancer with an instantaneous reaction to an improper position which provides the feedback necessary to learning.
