Celebrate the spooky season with Broche Ballet in this high-energy, 60-minute Halloween Costume Barre class. This special practice session blends the festive spirit of October with the technical precision required for intermediate and advanced training. Whether you are dressed as a Stormtrooper or in your favorite leotard, this class invites you to find new power and expression through movement.
Our instructor leads you through a comprehensive barre sequence set to a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack. We begin with foundations like plié and tendu, focusing on proper alignment and core engagement. As the music intensifies, we progress into more complex combinations involving dégagé, piqué, and passé.
Throughout the class, we emphasize the importance of musicality—using the spooky rhythms to drive your energy and enhance your performance quality. A major focus of this session is the grand battement finale. We challenge you to find maximum height and power while maintaining a lifted upper body and stable supporting leg.
You will learn how to coordinate large movements of the arms and legs without sacrificing technique. Beyond the festive fun, this class reinforces essential ballet principles: breath control, relaxation under tension, and the balance between strength and flexibility. It is a perfect way to maintain your training while celebrating the holiday.
Join us for this unique blend of fun and hard work. After the barre, we focus on big poses and lifting the upper body to match the power of the music, ensuring you leave the session feeling energized and accomplished.
