barre
Dancer's stability grip
A barre is a horizontal rail used by ballet dancers for balance during exercises, mounted on a wall or freestanding.
By extension, barre refers to a fitness workout incorporating ballet-inspired exercises performed at such a rail: I do barre three times a week.
In music, barre describes a guitar technique where one finger presses across all strings at a single fret to create a chord: barre chord. (Capitalized Barre is a place name.)
