About This Program
Elevate your ballet journey with the Broche Ballet Pointe Level B program, a meticulously designed 20-week curriculum focused entirely on barre work. This program is tailored for the adult dancer who has already begun their journey en pointe and is ready to solidify their technical foundation, build significant ankle strength, and refine their alignment before progressing to center work.
A Structured Path to Pointe Proficiency
Spanning over five months, this program offers a consistent and progressive approach to technical mastery. With 98 videos and over 37 hours of instruction, you will work through weekly modules that introduce increasingly complex combinations. By focusing exclusively on the barre, we remove the fear of balance issues, allowing you to concentrate fully on the mechanics of your feet, the articulation of your toes, and the stability of your core. This intensive focus ensures that every relevé and plié contributes to a safer, more stable dance experience.
Strengthening and Artistry Combined
Our Level B curriculum emphasizes the "how" and "why" of pointework. You will engage in specialized exercises designed to help you get "over the box" safely and efficiently, specifically targeting the wing range and parallel stretches. From "Fabulous 15" sessions—15 minutes of non-stop relevés—to focused stretching, every video serves a technical purpose. We believe that strength should not come at the cost of beauty; therefore, we incorporate artistic combinations like Rhumba tango and jazz-inspired movements to keep your dancing expressive and soulful.
Transformation Through Consistency
Throughout the 20 weeks, you will focus on:
- Ankle and Foot Endurance: Building the stamina required for longer, more demanding sequences.
- Technical Precision: Refining your transitions through positions like passé, coupé, and arabesque while en pointe.
- Artistic Confidence: Transforming the feeling of effort into the feeling of true grace.
Whether you are returning to pointe as an adult or continuing your progression through the Broche Ballet levels, this program provides the structured guidance needed to excel safely. Join our community and fall in love with the art of pointework at the barre.
