About This Video
Elevate your daily practice with this rigorous Advanced Ballet Barre class at Broche Ballet. Designed for the dedicated dancer, this 50-minute session focuses on the technical nuances that transform good movement into exceptional artistry. Throughout the class, we dive deep into the mechanics of foundational yet complex movements, ensuring that every tombé and piqué is executed with intentionality and correct directionality.
Our instructor provides detailed corrections that address the common pitfalls of advanced training. You will work through intricate sequences involving développé, écarté, and penché, with a specific focus on maintaining a long neck and grounded heels to ensure stability during demanding balances. The lesson emphasizes the importance of 'knowing where you are going,' a concept that is vital for navigating complex transitions and directional shifts at the barre.
Turn preparation and execution are also highlighted, with a focus on fouetté and pirouette mechanics. By breaking down the timing of the rise and the pass through coupé and passé, you will gain the control necessary for more consistent rotations. We also explore the concept of 'non-turns'—movements that mimic the preparation of a turn without the full rotation—to build the core strength and spotting habits required for advanced center work.
At Broche Ballet, we believe that repetition and attention to detail are the keys to mastery. This class challenges you to refine your arm placement (port de bras) and footwork, ensuring that every movement from attitude to arabesque is performed with professional-level alignment. Whether you are looking to polish your technique for performance or simply want a high-level workout that engages both the mind and body, this advanced barre provides the structure and feedback needed to reach your goals.
