Technique Foundations, Basics, and Fundamentals: Level 2 Ballet

Welcome to the next stage of your dance journey with Broche Ballet. Our Technique Foundations, Basics, and Fundamentals program is a comprehensive 25-hour curriculum specifically designed for adult dancers ready to move beyond the absolute basics. This Level 2 program bridges the gap between introductory movements and the complex requirements of intermediate ballet. In this program, we shift our focus toward refining your vocabulary and deepening your physical awareness. You will explore the intricacies of 4th and 5th positions, learning why these positions are more demanding on your turnout and how to navigate them safely. We provide extensive instruction on tendu—the foundation of all footwork—covering tendu devant, à la seconde, and derrière. By understanding the mechanics of how the heel leaves and returns to the floor, you will build the strength and articulation necessary for faster work. Beyond the legs, this program emphasizes the artistry of the upper body. Our dedicated sections on port de bras and cambré technique ensure that your movements are not just mechanical, but expressive. You will learn to coordinate your breath and eye line with your arm movements, creating the fluid, graceful lines that define ballet. Structure is the key to progress. With 104 videos organized into sections like Refine the Positions of the Legs and Refine Posture, you can work at your own pace. Whether you are struggling with maintaining turnout in tendu back or wondering how to achieve a beautiful retiré in adagio, our program offers specific Quicktips and deep-dive Q&A sessions to answer your most pressing questions. Join Broche Ballet and transform your technique through disciplined, professional, and accessible instruction designed for the adult body.
