About This Video
Elevate your practice with our Advanced Ballet Barre at Broche Ballet. This high-level class is designed for dancers who have mastered the basics and are ready to refine their technical precision and artistic expression. Led by our expert instructors, this session moves beyond simple repetition, challenging your muscle memory and coordination with sophisticated combinations. We begin the session with a thorough grand plié exercise, focusing on establishing a strong foundation and deep turnout from the hips. From there, the barre work intensifies, incorporating intricate tendu and dégagé sequences that require sharp footwork and unwavering core stability.
A significant portion of this class is dedicated to mastering turns at the barre. You will work on the mechanics of the soutenu and pirouette en dedans, learning how to maintain your axis and spot effectively. The grand battement section includes a unique, rhythmic combination that incorporates a series of turns and movements. This sequence is excellent for improving your speed and control as you transition between high leg extensions and quick rotations. Throughout every exercise, we emphasize the importance of port de bras. You will learn how to coordinate your arm movements with your footwork to create a seamless, professional line.
Beyond the physical steps, this class touches on the mental aspects of ballet. We discuss the value of feedback, the necessity of proper breathing, and how to maintain focus during long, complex dance sequences. By integrating these elements, you will find greater poise and balance in your arabesque and other demanding positions. Whether you are preparing for a performance or simply looking to maintain your professional-level technique, this Advanced Ballet Barre provides the rigorous training necessary to reach your goals.
