[0038] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a dance practice frame for dance teaching, including a fixed frame 1 with a fixed hole 11 and a barre body 3, at least two barre bodies 3 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and also includes an installation mechanism 2, at least two sets of installation mechanisms 2 are fixed at equal intervals in the vertical direction to the outer wall of the fixed frame 1, and the barre body 3 is fixed between the two installation mechanisms 2 in the same set, wherein the installation mechanism 2 includes: a support arm 21, a guide slider 22 and an installation piece 23, and also includes: a locking mechanism 4.

[0039] Furthermore, by Figures 1-3 As shown in this embodiment, two support arms 21 are distributed vertically at intervals and hinged to the outer wall of the fixing frame 1. The guide slider 22 is a cylindrical structure and is slidably connected to the support arm 21. The mounting plate 23 is fixed to one end of the guide slider 22. The handle body 3 is fixed between two symmetrically distributed mounting plates 23. The locking mechanism 4 is used to lock the support arm 21. With the above scheme, when in use, the fixing frame 1 is fixed to the wall of the dance training room at a height of about 50cm using bolts.

[0040] Two support arms 21, a fixed frame 1, and a mounting plate 23 form a "planar four-bar linkage system". The support arms 21 can rotate around the hinge point with the fixed frame 1. The mounting plate 23 is connected to the support arms 21 through a cylindrical guide slider 22 to form a rotating structure. The height of the handle body 3 can be adjusted by pulling it up and down. The "planar four-bar linkage system" can ensure that the mounting plate 23 is always in a vertical state.

[0041] When adjusting the height of the handlebar body 3, first release the locking mechanism 4, then pull the handlebar body 3 up and down to adjust it to a suitable height, and then use the locking mechanism 4 to lock the support arm 21 to ensure the stability of the support arm 21 after adjustment.

[0042] The dance practice frame of this utility model has a multi-layer design with multiple barre bodies 3 spaced apart in the vertical direction. The barre bodies 3 can be adjusted in both the vertical and horizontal directions, making it suitable for users of different ages and heights and more convenient to use.

[0043] Basic ballet training:

[0044] Barre body 3 position: Adjust barre body 3 to sternum height (approximately 100cm), with the trainee holding the barre body 3 with both hands, and complete the squat (plié) → rub (tendu) → circle (rond de jambe) combination.

[0045] Rotation assistance: The height of barre body 3 is lowered to 85cm for practicing fourth position turns (pirouette en dehors).

[0046] Modern dance ground transitions:

[0047] Rotate the support arm 21 outward to a horizontal position, lower the height of the bar body 3 to 50cm, and complete the "support-fall" transition training in conjunction with floor movements to strengthen the core muscles' control over the body.

[0048] Children's dance instruction:

[0049] The barre body 3 can be adjusted to a 60cm / 80cm double barre mode. The lower barre body 3 is used for children's standing balance training, while the higher barre body 3 assists in completing simple jumping movements. The distance between the two bars is 60cm to avoid the risk of collision.

[0050] Preferably, by Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment also includes: a limiting plate 24 and a first manual bolt 25. A guide hole 211 is provided on the support arm 21 for the guide slider 22 to pass through. The limiting plate 24 is connected to the extended end of the guide slider 22. The first manual bolt 25 passes through the limiting plate 24 and is connected to the guide slider 22 by threaded engagement. With the above scheme, when in use, the first manual bolt 25 is loosened, and then the position of the guide slider 22 can be moved along the guide hole 211 to move the handle body 3, so as to adjust the position of the handle body 3 of different heights. When multiple handle bodies 3 are used in conjunction, the handle bodies 3 of different heights can be misaligned or placed in the same vertical plane to facilitate different training, such as five-position footwork, small jump (sauté), control (adagio) group training, etc.

[0051] Preferably, by Figures 1-4 As shown in this embodiment, the outer wall of the guide slider 22 abuts against the inner wall of the guide sliding hole 211. With the above solution, when in use, the guide slider 22 and the guide sliding hole 211 adopt a clearance fit (such as H7 / g6, fit tolerance ≤0.02mm), which not only facilitates the position adjustment of the handle body 3 and reduces the sliding friction between the guide slider 22 and the guide sliding hole 211, but also effectively improves the stability of the fit between the guide slider 22 and the guide sliding hole 211.

[0052] Preferably, by Figures 1-4As shown, this embodiment also includes: positioning protrusions 241, two positioning protrusions 241 are symmetrically fixed to the outer wall of the limiting plate 24, and multiple positioning grooves 212 are provided on the support arm 21 at equal intervals along its length direction, and the positioning protrusions 241 are embedded in the positioning grooves 212. After adopting the above solution, when using, after tightening the No. 1 manual bolt 25, the positioning protrusions 241 are embedded in the positioning grooves 212, which further locks the position of the handle body 3 and prevents the handle body 3 from sliding accidentally.

[0053] Preferably, by Figures 1-4 As shown in this embodiment, a guide slope 2411 is machined at the end of the positioning protrusion 241. After adopting the above solution, the guide slope 2411 has good guiding and positioning functions when in use, which makes it convenient for the positioning protrusion 241 to be embedded in the positioning groove 212.

[0054] Preferably, by Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment also includes a second manual bolt 26. The second manual bolt 26 passes through the mounting plate 23 and is connected to the handlebar body 3 by threaded engagement. With the above solution, the handlebar body 3 is locked in place by the second manual bolt 26 during use, which ensures the stability of the handlebar body 3 installation and facilitates the disassembly of the handlebar body 3.

[0055] Optionally, by Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking mechanism 4 includes a U-shaped plate 41 and a No. 3 manual bolt 42. The U-shaped plate 41 is fixed to the outer wall of the fixing frame 1, and multiple positioning holes 411 are equally spaced along its length on the U-shaped plate 41. The No. 3 manual bolt 42 passes through the positioning holes 411 and is connected to the support arm 21 by threaded engagement. With the above solution, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the handle body 3, the No. 3 manual bolt 42 is first unscrewed to separate the No. 3 manual bolt 42 from the U-shaped plate 41. Then, the support arm 21 is rotated up and down. When the handle body 3 is adjusted to a suitable height, the No. 3 manual bolt 42 is then passed through the positioning holes 411 at different positions and fixed to the support arm 21 by threaded engagement to ensure the stability of the handle body 3 after adjustment.

[0056] Preferably, by Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment also includes a rubber sleeve 31, which is fitted onto the barre body 3. With the above solution, the rubber sleeve 31 has flexibility and anti-slip properties during use, avoiding pressure sores caused by prolonged circulation by the trainee, and improving the safety and comfort of training.
