About This Video
Elevate your dance practice with this rigorous advanced ballet class hosted by Julie at Broche Ballet. This comprehensive 80-minute session is designed for experienced dancers who wish to push their technical boundaries and refine their artistry. The class begins with an intensive 55-minute barre, uniquely structured to celebrate ‘International Frappé Day.’ This means you can expect an extra emphasis on sharp, precise frappés to build speed, agility, and strength in the lower legs and feet. Beyond the focus on footwork, the barre sequence includes foundational work in plié, tendu, and relevé, ensuring your body is perfectly primed for the challenges of the center.
Following the barre, the class transitions into a 25-minute center practice that demands both stamina and grace. You will engage in a long, sustained adagio designed to test your balance and control, followed by a fast-paced waltz to improve your musicality and spatial awareness. One of the highlights of this session is a complex turn combination featuring fouetté turns and pirouettes. Julie provides detailed cues on core engagement and spotting to help you maintain stability through rapid rotations. The footwork continues to be a focal point with intricate pas de bourrée sequences that require quick weight transfers and precise positions.
As the class reaches its peak, you will work on grand allegro movements, specifically focusing on the power and carriage required for a breathtaking grand jeté. The session concludes with a graceful port de bras and a traditional curtsy, leaving you feeling accomplished and technically sharper. Whether you are looking to improve your turn technique or simply want a professional-level workout from the comfort of your home, this class offers the structured, high-level instruction necessary to excel in advanced ballet.
