About This Video
Elevate your practice with this comprehensive 75-minute advanced ballet class from Broche Ballet. Designed for experienced dancers, this session blends the rigorous discipline of a full barre with an intricate center practice that challenges both your technical precision and your artistic expression. Whether you are looking to sharpen your turns or find more fluidity in your adagio, this class provides the professional-level guidance needed to reach your next level of performance.
The class begins at the barre, focusing on essential alignment and strength. You will move through sequences that emphasize the transition from a deep demi-plié into a stable sous-sus, building the necessary core engagement for the complex center work to follow. Julie guides you through each movement, offering technical insights that help bridge the gap between simple execution and true mastery. Special attention is given to the quality of your tendu and the strength of your supporting leg.
In the center, the focus shifts to coordination and control. We dive into a particularly tricky tendu and pirouette combination that requires quick footwork and a sharp sense of spot. You will learn to navigate the quasi-tombé through a forced arch, aiming for a smooth and luxurious quality of movement that does not sacrifice stability. The adagio section introduces a beautiful piqué attitude turn, where the challenge lies in maintaining a lifted posture and a controlled descent.
As the class progresses, we explore dynamic movements including the pas de bourrée and balancés. The session concludes with a spirited waltz sequence, encouraging you to travel through the space while maintaining your center of gravity. Throughout the class, the emphasis remains on balance, control, and the seamless execution of turns and leaps. By focusing on the mechanics of the tombé and the timing of the pirouette, you will develop a more reliable technique that translates to any choreography.
