About This Video
Welcome to your 'Fabulous 15' – a high-energy, nonstop 15-minute ballet pointe work practice designed to challenge your stamina and refine your technique. At Broche Ballet, we believe that consistent, focused repetition is the key to mastering the art of dancing en pointe. This follow-along class is structured to take you from a thorough warm-up to complex combinations that demand precision, control, and grace.
Throughout this session, we dive deep into the mechanics of the feet and ankles. You will work through essential movements such as the pas de cheval, focusing on that specific rolling motion through the floor, and the pas de bourrée, where we emphasize crisp foot placement and smooth transitions. We also tackle the technical nuances of the sous-sus and coupé en passé, ensuring your alignment remains centered and your turnout is engaged even as the tempo picks up. These exercises are curated to build the necessary strength for more advanced variations and center work.
One of the core focuses of this class is the concept of controlling the shape of your feet from the inside out. We don't just 'go up' on pointe; we use our intrinsic muscles to articulate through every position. You will practice plié relevé and various footwork sequences that build stability and prevent common issues like sickling. The instructor provides constant feedback on balance, alignment, and movement quality, helping you maintain a professional standard in your home studio.
Whether you are looking to squeeze in a quick workout during a busy day or want an extra boost to your weekly training, this 15-minute intensive is the perfect tool. By the end of the session, you will have worked on your flexibility, increased your foot articulation, and reinforced the technical foundations required for beautiful, stable pointework. Lace up your ribbons and prepare for a nonstop technical challenge.
