(not sure about all these spellings) but you almost always start with pliés followed by tondues, jettes, rondasham (sp?), stretches, adagio and grand battement. The classes I take usually consist of a few exercises for each with combinations of many varying skills in different patterns
A ballet barre. You start using it around grade 1 ballet.
A Barre is literally a bar usually made of wood that runs across a wall in a ballet studio. It is used for ballet classes, where students place their hands or hand on it to help with balance while doing certain exercises or routines.
A Barre
A ballet barre is a stationary bar or rail that is used by dancers, or specifically ballerinas, during warm up. There are two components to a ballet barre: the support mechanism (which grounds the barre) and the handrail itself (the part that the ballerina uses).

A barre is a long wooden handle attached to a wall. Dancers use it for balance while warming up and doing stretches at the beginning of ballet class.
When you turn to the other side to do a combination, turn towards the barre.
There are four possible barre ballet exercises. You are probably thinking of a plie which is the most commonly used ballet exercise. There are also eleve, battlement tendu and rond de jambe.
Ballet dancers use the barre for many things. Some of these things change as the dancer's level increases. But generally, the barre is used as a helper with balance and position. We also use it when we do certain stretches and to help with alignment.
barre
A warm up in ballet is usually preformed at a barre. At the barre you do technique and turn out stuff so when you get off the barre you are ready to go for the center. If you do not do warm ups and go to the center you wont have the balance or knowledge to do all of the activies preformed.
