15-Minute Core & Pelvic Stability Conditioning with Rosy Pigott

Building a strong foundation for ballet requires more than just time at the barre. In this 15-minute conditioning class, guest instructor Rosy Pigott leads you through a targeted routine designed to enhance your core strength, pelvic stability, and overall control. This session is an essential addition for any dancer at Broche Ballet looking to improve their technique from the inside out.

The workout begins with foundational movements like planks and four-point positions. These aren't just for fitness; they are critical for developing the abdominal engagement needed to maintain a vertical spine during relevé or a steady torso during pirouettes. Rosy emphasizes the importance of breathing and control, ensuring that every movement is intentional.

You will work through series that involve lifting the legs in various directions, which mimics the demand of movements like dégagé or grand battement. The key takeaway here is pelvic stability—learning how to move the legs independently of the hips to maintain clean lines and avoid unnecessary tension in the lower back. Throughout the class, you will focus on maintaining a straight back and secure shoulder blades, especially during transitions that resemble a "down dog" stretch.

This attention to detail ensures that your upper body remains open and expressive, rather than collapsed. Rosy also covers techniques for tucking the tailbone correctly and engaging the deep core muscles, providing a flat upper back that translates to a more professional silhouette on stage or in the studio. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced dancer, these conditioning exercises help bridge the gap between pure strength and artistic execution.

By integrating this 15-minute routine into your weekly practice, you'll find greater ease in your plié, more stability in your adage, and a more resilient body. Grab your mat and join us at Broche Ballet to refine your precision and strength.
