Answer 1

If you reach your arm out (second position) and just go down just a TINY bit, that's where your barre should be.

Answer 2

it depends on your height. but it should roughly be around the middle of your stomach.

Answer 3

it should be about where your elbow is or something like that.

Where ever it feels comfortable :)

I find it is good to have it at elbow height.

Hope  i helped.

Answer 4

about elbow height

Answer 5

Stand near your wall and hold your arm in 2nd position (out to the side). Turn your arm so that your wrist faces the floor and that's where your barre should be.

The barre should be at a height where both of your shoulders will be even, which will keep your spine straight when you're dancing. This is very important!

Answer 6

it should be so that when you rest yoor hand on the bar you don't have to reach down or up so in other words about level :)
