About This Video
Welcome to an intensive 52-minute session at Broche Ballet designed specifically for advanced dancers. This class focuses on refining professional-level technique through a series of demanding barre exercises. We dive deep into the nuances of control and alignment, ensuring every movement is executed with precision.
The lesson emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong core and consistent turnout, especially during complex movements like fondus and polonaises. You will work on keeping your knees tracking correctly when moving to the back and ensuring proper foot placement in à la seconde, specifically focusing on pulling the pinky toe behind the heel. A unique aspect of this class is the focus on tension management; you will learn to release the leg at the end of a fondu to avoid unnecessary gripping, allowing for greater freedom of movement and a more aesthetic line.
As we move through the class, combinations increase in complexity, incorporating tombés, retirés, and en dedans rotations. We transition from foundational grand pliés to intricate sequences that challenge your balance and coordination. The instructor provides detailed feedback to help you navigate these transitions smoothly, moving beyond just completing a step to mastering its artistic execution.
Whether you are preparing for center work or looking to strengthen your foundational technique, this Advanced Ballet Barre provides the rigorous training necessary to elevate your dancing. Let's work together to find that perfect balance between strength and fluidity.
