About This Video
Elevate your practice with this comprehensive 46-minute Advanced Ballet Barre session from Broche Ballet. Designed for experienced dancers, this class moves beyond basic patterns to focus on the nuanced mechanics of elite-level technique. Throughout the workout, we prioritize the delicate balance between strength and suppleness, ensuring every movement is executed with both precision and grace.
The session begins with detailed tendu and rond de jambe combinations aimed at warming up the hip joints and refining the articulation of the feet. As we progress through the barre, you will engage in challenging fondu and développé sequences that build the necessary control for center work and adagio. Our instructor provides constant feedback on alignment, specifically focusing on maintaining a lifted standing side during arabesque and ensuring the elbow joint remains engaged during vigorous grand battements.
One of the hallmarks of an advanced dancer is the ability to manage physical tension. This class incorporates specific exercises, such as controlled leg swings and tombé transitions, to help you find freedom within the structure of the movements. By the end of the barre, you will have worked through the full range of classical vocabulary, from the sharp precision of battement to the fluid lines of attitude.
