## Frequently asked questions

### What is Floor Barre?

Floor Barre transfers classical ballet barre exercises to the floor. Lying down removes the load of gravity, so you can train turnout, alignment and core strength with zero impact on joints — which is why it is used both by professional dancers and in physical rehabilitation.

### Do I need dance experience for the conditioning class?

No. The session is one-on-one and fully adapted to your body. Many students use it purely as intelligent strength-and-flexibility training with a professional dancer's eye on their form.

### Is Floor Barre good for injury recovery?

Floor Barre is low-impact by design and is often recommended during return-to-movement phases. Always follow your physician's or physical therapist's guidance; the instructor can adapt the session to their indications.
