Ballet for home workouts

It is traditionally popular to write children (especially girls) "to the ballet." This is completely justified: if you do not make professional dancers from them, then such exercises are very beneficial for the child. He has just a perfect posture, there is never a scourge of our time - excess weight, and, moreover, the discipline takes off to unprecedented heights. However, for the high efficiency of training, sooner or later one has to think about installing a home ballet machine in an apartment. Without it, even daily training will not give the desired result. And here there are many questions.

Variants of choreographic machines: what is more convenient for home?

They differ in both configuration and method of attachment. Let's start with the first one. First of all, the ballet machine can be single-row (with single handrail) or two-row (one is higher, another - slightly lower). The second one is suitable only for specialized halls, where different groups are engaged. For home exercises, usually "one-storey" is chosen. However, if you expect that the ballet will carry away your child not for a couple of months, please note that the child is still growing. Do not want every six months or a year to mount a new ballet machine - choose with telescopic racks or with several levels, on which you can rearrange the parallel floor bars.

How to strengthen?

The next important parameter: how to fix the ballet machine? The most reliable is the fixation in both the floor and the wall. If the walls are unreliable - the equipment is attached only to the floor, but in time the racks can loosen up, and it will become inconvenient to deal with. If there are strong (brick or concrete) walls and, for example, an expensive floor covering (the same parquet made of natural wood), you can fix the ballet machine only on the walls. However, with heavy loads on it, it is likely that over time screws or dowels will loosen, which can also lead to injury.

If you regularly go somewhere for a long time (to summer cottage for the summer), but do not want the child to stop training, then in this case it will be necessary to make sure that the ballet machine is mobile. Such a variety is put on stable "legs", but it is desirable in the new place to additionally fix it horizontally.

Selection options

Many parents, faced with the need to purchase appropriate equipment, make standard errors. This is natural, as choosing a ballet is rather difficult. A person who is not professionally associated with dancing simply does not know how to "right". And wherever you take the ballet machine designed for your child - did it yourself, ordered it in a special shop or bought it ready - you need to take into account the following recommendations.

First of all - the height of the timber. To not then correct the defects of posture and learned movements, remember: it must be at the level of the lowest rib of the dancer. The next requirement: no cheap! Neither in the selection of materials, nor in the selection of the finished choreographic machine. Chinese options usually contain easily volatile inclusions that will simply poison your child in confined spaces and heavy loads. "Ecological cleanness" is the motto of caring parents!

Equally important: the ballet machine must only include wooden handrails. And thus not covered with a varnish. On metal or lacquered sweaty hand will slide, which often leads to injury.

Homemade machine tool: necessary materials

If you are not too rich, you are not satisfied with what is offered in the store, you are not sure that your child's passion for a long time, or ready-made options do not "fit" in the dimensions of your apartment, you can make a ballet with your own hands. You will not need many accessories: a polished polished pole with a diameter of 50 mm of the required length, several racks (their number depends on the length of the wall in which the ballet machine will be mounted, but at least three), plugs, dowels and screws are more powerful. The design will have to buy 2 stubs (if you take a pipe, not a tree) and 12 fasteners for 3 racks. The ideal choice as poles will be a beech or an oak, but in extreme cases will go and chrome pipe, only to be engaged in the child it is necessary in gloves that hands did not slide.

Homemade machine for classes: assembly order

In this article we consider the equipment stationary, on 3 racks and with fastenings in one plane, on a wall. In the event that your conditions are different - make refinements to the technology.

First, the marking is done: according to the level calculated on the height, depending on your child's height, there are places on the wall where the ballet machine will be fastened. At these points holes are drilled (4 on each rack). They screw in the dowels and mount the rack itself. The bar is inserted into the holders; If the pipe is selected as the pipe, and not the tree, plugs are inserted - and the child can begin his exercises.

Since it is much cheaper to make a ballet machine at home, it is also possible to take into account the individual characteristics of an apartment, many resort to this method.
