About This Video
Rediscover the heart of your practice in this special 90-minute guest session with ballet mindset coach Kirsten Kemp. This comprehensive class, hosted by Broche Ballet, bridges the gap between technical rigor and the pure joy of movement. We begin with a deliberate barre sequence designed to establish a strong foundation through plié, relevé, and passé, preparing your body for the dynamic challenges of center work.
As we transition away from the barre, Kirsten provides expert guidance on complex combinations, including the mechanics of a stable pirouette and the fluidity required for a graceful tombé pas de bourrée. Beyond the physical execution, this class dives deep into the psychology of dance. Kirsten encourages students to maintain a clear demi-pointe and strong ankles while simultaneously letting go of the pressure to be perfect.
You will learn to focus on your gaze and alignment to improve your turns, while also cultivating a mindset that treats ballet as an act of love and expression rather than just a repetitive exercise routine. The session culminates in a grand finale, allowing you to apply your technical refinements and newfound confidence in a spirited final combination. Whether you are looking to sharpen your tombé transitions or find more freedom in your artistry, this class offers the tools to elevate both your technique and your spirit.
