About This Video
A strong core is the foundation of every movement in ballet. From holding a steady arabesque to executing multiple pirouettes, your abdominal strength dictates your stability and grace. At Broche Ballet, we understand that a ballet body is about the functional power required to move with effortless control.
This 10-minute intense lying core routine, led by Julie, is designed to fire up your powerhouse and prepare you for the demands of center work and barre. This session focuses on fiery intensity packed into a short timeframe. Instead of mindless repetitions, the focus is on control and precision.
You will move through a series of floor-based exercises including twists, lifts, and sustained holds. These movements specifically target the obliques and deep stabilizers, which are crucial for maintaining a vertical axis during turns. We also address the common pitfall of neck strain, teaching you how to properly support your head so the focus remains entirely on the core.
Consistency is key to seeing results in your dancing. Even a short, 10-minute routine can provide a significant energy boost and technical edge when performed with the right technique. By engaging in these short bursts of intense exercise, you train your muscles to recover quickly and fire efficiently during a full ballet class.
Whether it is a Saturday morning pick-me-up or a pre-class warm-up, this routine helps bridge the gap between simple fitness and ballet-specific conditioning. By the end of this workout, you will have a better understanding of how to engage your core without sacrificing your breath or alignment. You will feel more centered as you transition to your feet.
