The present specification discloses an exercise system comprising a stable support purchase, such as a ballet barre, and an unstable support apparatus, such as a ball or a roller, wherein an individual may support a limb on the unstable support apparatus and selectively contact the stable support purchase for balance while performing an exercise, such as a ballet position, and an associated method comprising the steps of positioning at least one limb on the unstable support apparatus and simultaneously performing the exercise.

A dance practice assembly includes an object that is selectively stationary, a tether assembly and a first handle. The first handle is configured to be coupled via the tether assembly to the object. The first handle includes a first leg and a second leg. The first leg has a first length and a somewhat elliptical cross-sectional shape. The second leg has a second attachment length that is different than the first length. The second leg is also approximately parallel to the first leg. The first handle further includes a third leg that connects the first leg to the second leg, where the third leg is approximately perpendicular to both the first leg and the second leg. The dance practice assembly can further include a second handle that is coupled to the first handle, with the second handle being substantially similar to the first handle.

A ballet training device configured to promote proper foot placement and aid in the development of proper strength and musculature is disclosed herein. The ballet training device may comprise a first loop coupled to a second loop at an overlap point, a resistance band coupled to a lateral portion of the first loop and to a lateral portion of the second loop, the resistance band configured to be disposed on a lateral side of a wearer's foot, and a traction mechanism disposed on at least a portion of the first loop and at least a portion of the second loop. The first loop is configured to encircle the wearer's ankle, the second loop is configured to encircle the wearer's foot, and the overlap point is configured to be disposed above the wearer's instep such that the device is generally in the shape of an infinity sign.

The present disclosure provides a dance training vest and method for dance training. The dance training vest includes a first band cuff operably engaged with the vest, a second band cuff operably engaged with the vest, and a plurality of force simulating members operably engaged with the vest, the first band cuff, and the second band cuff. The plurality of force simulating members is positioned in a desired location to assist with the simulation of proper user position during a dance movement. The method for dance training includes donning, by a user, a first dance training vest, connecting a first end of a first force simulating member to the first training vest, moving in a dance movement to move the first dance training vest, and imparting a force of the first force simulating member to the first training vest.

The invention relates to a locomotion aid (1) for people with limited mobility, comprising at least one frame (1), frame legs (2) which are connected to the frame (V) at a first end (2) and the second ends (2) of which are equipped with casters (3), a hip lock or a lumbar lock (8) which is connected to the frame (1) via a return mechanism (7) and via a mounting (6), and a seat (9) with an integrated brake triggering mechanism, wherein the seat (9) interacts with the hip lock (8), the return mechanism (7), which is in the form of a spring for example, and the mounting (6) when the seat is actuated by the person such that the brake triggering mechanism (5) can be triggered.

The present invention as described herein is a compact and portable ballet training station or kit. The training station comprises a collapsible bane with supporting bases, a foldable ballet mat, a folding mirror, and a compact carrying case. The collapsible barre is comprised of three bars, each bar with semi detachable segments positioned equidistant along each bar. Upon assembly the bars connect to each other to form a bane which is supported by bases. The foldable mat is made of one contiguous flexible matter which is sufficient to support and cushion the weight of a ballerina. The foldable mirror is made of one contiguous material capable of being coated with reflective material on one side and opaque material on the opposing side. These components are collapsed or folded into a hard shell quadrilateral shaped carrying case for easy storage and transport.

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with instruction production are described. In one example, a system can comprise a difference component that makes an identification of a difference between an actual action of a user and a standard action for the user. The system also can comprise an instruction component that produces an instruction to instruct the user to change from the action of the user to the standard action for the user, where production of the instruction is based, at least in part, on the difference. The system further can comprise a non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to retain the instruction. Additionally, the system can comprise an output component configured to cause disclosure of the instruction.

An apparatus for aerial exercise and enjoyment of a user while suspended from a support structure is provided. The apparatus includes a main support, at least one support hanger, a pair of branches, and at least one user support attachment. The at least one support hanger connects a first and second location of the support structure to an upper portion of the main support. A lower portion of the main support is rotatably connected to the upper portion. The pair of branches extend from the lower portion and are configured to receive the at least one user support attachment. Each user support attachment includes an interior portion containing a padding material. The at least one user support attachment may be a pair of looped leg or arm straps, a shoulder harness, or a seat. Each looped leg strap of the pair of looped leg straps includes a foot platform.
