Elevate your technical prowess with this 40-minute advanced ballet barre session from Broche Ballet. This class is specifically designed for experienced dancers who want to delve deeper into the mechanics of leg strength and fluid coordination.

Throughout the session, you will progress through a traditional series of exercises beginning with refined plié and tendu combinations. The instructor provides detailed cues on physical alignment and posture, ensuring that every dégagé and rond de jambe is executed with professional discipline. Special attention is given to the adagio (indaggio) sections, where you will practice maintaining a high, stable leg in arabesque and executing smooth développé movements.
The class emphasizes the importance of using both legs to create power and a beautiful line, especially during tombé transitions. By focusing on the engagement of the working leg and the stability of the supporting side, you will build the stamina required for center work. Whether you are training at home or in a studio, this barre provides the sophisticated challenges needed to maintain a professional level of dance proficiency.
