About This Video
Elevate your daily practice with this comprehensive 44-minute advanced ballet barre session at Broche Ballet. This class is meticulously structured to challenge the seasoned dancer, focusing on the intricate nuances that separate standard technique from professional-level artistry. We begin with a deep dive into the fondu, emphasizing the 'melting' quality that requires simultaneous control and strength in both the supporting and working legs. You will learn to maintain consistent turnout while executing double movements, ensuring your alignment remains centered even as the complexity of the combinations increases.
The lesson progresses into more dynamic and challenging footwork, including detailed pas de bourrée drills. We explore the use of pickups and the precise arrangement of the feet to create a clean, rhythmic aesthetic. For those looking to improve their rotation and speed, the class includes a rigorous soutenu turn series and flic-flac exercises designed to build momentum and coordination. Throughout the video, your instructor provides real-time corrections and technical insights, helping you navigate the physical demands of rond de jambe and promenade with grace and stability.
Beyond the physical execution, this Broche Ballet session addresses the psychological aspect of dance.
