Whether you are preparing for a performance or maintaining your professional level of fitness, this session provides the depth and detail required for advanced artistic growth and technical refinement.
The class begins with a thorough, traditional barre designed to warm up the body while emphasizing precision in alignment. You will navigate through a series of exercises including deep pliés, sharp relevés, and controlled tendus, progressing into more complex movements such as fondu and grand battement. The instructor places a strong emphasis on turnout, port de bras, and core stability, ensuring you are perfectly centered before moving away from the support of the barre.
This foundational work is essential for the high-intensity center work that follows. In the center, the focus shifts toward one of the most challenging and iconic movements in the ballet vocabulary: the fouetté. The instructor breaks down the mechanics of the turn, providing specialized tips on spotting, the power of the working leg in the rond de jambe, and maintaining a consistent axis throughout multiple rotations.
You will practice a sophisticated combination that weaves together four balancés, a soaring arabesque, and transitions through plié relevé and pas de bourrée. The sequence also incorporates piqué turns and tombé steps, culminating in a focused practice of center fouettés. Throughout the class, the instructor offers technical guidance on proper placement and fluid transitions between steps.
By the end of this 75-minute session, you will have a deeper understanding of how to maintain your momentum in turns and how to execute advanced sequences with professional grace and confidence.
