About This Video
Elevate your practice with this comprehensive advanced session at Broche Ballet. This class is specifically designed for dancers who are ready to tackle complex transitions and high-level technical challenges. We begin with a 45-minute 'tricky and spicy' barre intended to warm up the body while challenging your coordination with intricate sequences.
Focus is placed on proper alignment in grand plié and the precision of your allongé lines to prepare for the center work ahead. The second half of the class transitions into a 25-minute center focus, where we dive deep into the mechanics of the fouetté and the flow of the waltz. Instructor Julie guides you through the technical nuances of executing a fouetté from arabesque to devant, emphasizing the importance of momentum control.
You will learn how to use your plié and tombé to generate power without losing your vertical axis. A significant portion of the lesson is dedicated to arm placement; learning how the arms must travel through first position and up to fifth as you finish a turn is crucial for maintaining balance during multiple pirouettes. We explore the concept of the fouetté as a transition of direction rather than just a spin, teaching you to control your hips and avoid pulling on the floor.
Whether you are working on your balancé sequences or perfecting a piqué turn, this class provides the professional corrections and encouragement needed to build confidence in your advanced technique. Join us at Broche Ballet and refine the strength and grace required for these challenging ballet movements.
