About This Video
Welcome to this efficient and effective 25-minute Express Barre class at Broche Ballet. Designed for dancers who need a high-impact workout in a shorter timeframe, this session focuses on the foundational elements of classical technique while prioritizing control and fluidity. Whether you are squeezing in a session before work or looking for a focused technical supplement to your regular training, this class provides the conditioning and refinement every dancer needs to progress.
Throughout the class, we emphasize the importance of proper posture and alignment. You will be guided through a series of barre exercises that challenge your stability, starting with foundational footwork and progressing into more complex movements. A major focus of this session is the correct execution of the fondu—ensuring a smooth, "melting" quality while maintaining perfect balance. We dive deep into the mechanics of placing, brushing, and carrying the leg to ensure your transitions are as graceful as they are precise.
The instructor provides detailed guidance on maintaining a controlled upper back and engaging the core to avoid twisting during rotations. We also spend dedicated time on the arabesque, focusing on opening the hips and finding length without compromising your center. To ensure you finish the class feeling supple and energized, we include specific hip-loosening movements and stretching sequences designed to increase your functional flexibility. Join us at Broche Ballet to refine your technique, improve your balance, and find your center in this focused express session.
