About This Video
Welcome to the "Fabulous 15," a high-energy, 15-minute non-stop follow-along ballet class specifically designed for pointe work. At Broche Ballet, we believe in the power of consistent, focused practice to elevate your artistry and strength. This session is perfect for intermediate dancers looking to refine their technique en pointe without the interruptions of a traditional class format.
Throughout this intensive workout, we dive straight into essential movements that build foot strength and stability. We begin with thorough foot stretches and warm-up exercises at the barre to ensure your ankles and arches are prepared for the demands of dancing en pointe. The flow of the class emphasizes continuous movement, helping you build the stamina necessary for longer variations and center work.
Our curriculum covers a range of technical steps, from the precision of a tendu and dégagé to more complex sequences involving the pas de cheval. You will practice transitioning smoothly through tombé and relevé, focusing on maintaining your turnout and rotation even during quick motions. A key highlight of this class is the challenge to find your center.
The instructor provides clear guidance on when to test your balance, encouraging you to let go of the barre and find your stability in positions like sous-sus. Whether you are working on your plié depth or the sharpness of your pas de bourrée, this class provides the professional demonstrations needed to succeed. By the end of these fifteen minutes, you will have worked through a comprehensive series of exercises that target core stability and lower body alignment.
Join us at Broche Ballet to push your boundaries and find joy in the discipline of pointe work. This video is designed to be repeated, allowing you to track your progress as your strength and confidence grow.
