We show that both rigid and nonrigid dipoles can be trapped by an uniform external magnetic field in classical mechanics. The trapped states of the dipole present a nontrivial example of classical bound states embedded in a continuum (BSEC) that can be treated as analogues of quantum BSECs. For example, the classical motion of the dipole is confined to a finite region in space although there are no classical turning points. We also examine the quantum motion of the dipole in a magnetic field and show that for the most natural choices of the parameters, no quantum BSEC solutions exist. The possibilities of experimental investigations of BSECs are discussed.
