Providing ballet barres in my classroom will help my students improve on their dance technique immensely. I have noticed that bringing in extra resources have helped my students improve on their dancing skills. For example, using a scientific skeleton to teach anatomy helped my students improve their dance technique and body awareness. I believe using a barre will have the same positive effect. Ballet barres will allow my students to express themselves through dance. This is a great way for them to channel their feelings and emotions that come about from living in an underserved community where opportunities do not come easily to our students.
