About This Video
" Featured at the 2024 International Adult Ballet Festival (IABF), Anndria Davide Ciabattoni brings a refreshing energy to the stage that every adult dancer can learn from. At Broche Ballet, we celebrate the unique artistry that adult dancers bring to the studio, and this routine is a perfect example of how to balance technical discipline with pure, infectious delight. Even in a short, two-minute piece, the fundamental building blocks of ballet are on full display.
This performance highlights the importance of crisp footwork and expressive port de bras. Dancers will notice the careful attention to épaulement, where the subtle positioning of the head and shoulders transforms a simple movement into a communicative story. Whether you are currently working on the stability of your relevé at the barre or perfecting the spotting for your pirouette in the center, observing how an experienced dancer integrates character into their technique is an invaluable part of your education.
For those looking to improve their own performance quality, "A Little Pink Fun" serves as a wonderful study in stage presence and musicality. Notice how Anndria maintains her classical line and alignment while executing playful jumps. The transition from a controlled plié into a sharp dégagé or a light sauté requires both physical core strength and a clear artistic intent.
This video encourages dancers of all ages to move beyond the rote repetition of steps and to find the "fun" in their own daily practice. Broche Ballet is committed to helping adult students reach their full potential through high-quality online instruction. By watching performances like this one from the IABF 2024 stage, you can gain a deeper understanding of how to use your technical foundation—from the simplest tendu to the most complex enchaînement—to express a specific mood or theme.
