40-Minute Mostly Calm All-Level Ballet Barre Practice

Welcome to a balanced 40-minute ballet barre session designed for dancers of all levels. Lead by Julie, this class offers a unique blend of calm, focused exercises and stimulating technical challenges. Whether you are a beginner looking to solidify your foundation or an experienced dancer sharpening your precision, this Broche Ballet practice provides the perfect environment to grow.

The session emphasizes the core pillars of classical technique: proper alignment and sustained posture. Throughout the class, you will work on fundamental movements like the plié and tendu before progressing to more complex sequences that require mental focus and physical coordination. Julie provides detailed cues on keeping your shoulders back and finding the 'explode' in your legs to help you achieve the necessary energy for grand battement and petit allegro work.

A highlight of this class is the inclusion of two 'tricky' combinations designed to challenge your coordination. You will delve into variations of the pas de bourrée and the pas de brisé, focusing on the intricate footwork and the 'pickups' required for crisp, professional execution. We also explore the grace of the penché and the control needed for a steady promenade, ensuring a well-rounded barre experience that transitions beautifully into center work.

Broche Ballet is dedicated to making professional-level instruction accessible to everyone. This session is not just about the steps; it's about the quality of movement. By focusing on details like the placement of the foot in cou-de-pied and the stability of the knee in passé, you will develop the strength and muscle memory needed for fluid dancing.

Join us for this restorative yet challenging barre and take your ballet technique to the next level.
