About This Video
Welcome to a comprehensive Advanced Ballet Barre session at Broche Ballet, designed for experienced dancers looking to deepen their technical proficiency and artistic expression. This 46-minute class focuses on the intricate nuances of body direction and movement, ensuring that every transition is executed with precision and grace. Throughout this practice, we delve into demanding exercises, beginning with foundational pliés and tendus to warm up the muscles and establish a solid base.
As the class progresses, we move into more complex sequences involving dégagés, écarté positions, and arabesques. The instructor emphasizes the importance of proper body alignment and the subtle shifts in weight necessary for maintaining balance during challenging combinations. One of the key focuses of this session is the mastery of body directions.
You will explore movements such as écarté and quasi-arabesque, learning how to orient your body in space to create the longest lines and most dynamic shapes. We also incorporate développé and passé work to build strength and control in the working leg while maintaining stability in the supporting side. At Broche Ballet, we believe that detailed feedback is essential for growth.
This class includes specific technical corrections on arm and hand positions, as well as strategies for finishing every movement with strength and control. By repeating these sequences and focusing on the technical details behind the movement, you will build the muscle memory needed for advanced floor work. Whether you are rehearsing for a performance or simply maintaining your daily technique, this advanced barre provides the rigor and refinement required for the serious student of ballet.
