company history


Begin in 1994

In 1994, Saeam Dance Academy was established at Yeokgok Station in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do. In Korea, there wasn't a place that sold balletbarre at that time, so people in need made their own. That's how barreinabag came about. Tanz founder Byung-il Lee based his balletbarre on the one used during the class at David Howard School in New York in 1991, and has since improved it.
