About This Video
Elevate your technical proficiency with this 52-minute Advanced Ballet Barre session from Broche Ballet. This class is meticulously designed for dancers who have moved beyond the basics and are looking to refine their precision, control, and mental focus. We move through a comprehensive series of exercises that challenge your physical limits while keeping your mind engaged with intricate 'brain teaser' combinations. Throughout the lesson, we focus on the transition between positions, ensuring every movement is executed with intentionality and grace.
A significant portion of this class is dedicated to the développé, but with a unique technical twist. Instead of simply holding a static extension, we use the développé movement to specifically train the mechanics of jump landings. This functional approach helps build the eccentric strength necessary for soft, controlled landings in grand allegro. You will also navigate complex rond de jambe patterns and sequences incorporating tombé, piqué, and glissade, all while maintaining a strong, stable core and proper alignment.
The barre serves as your partner in this practice, providing the support needed to find your center during difficult balance exercises and preparation for pirouettes. We emphasize the importance of finding your own verticality, ensuring you aren't relying too heavily on the barre for stability. By integrating petit pas and quick transitions, this class bridges the gap between barre work and the dynamic movements required in the center. Whether you are a professional-level student or an advanced adult learner, this session offers the rigorous conditioning and technical feedback needed to take your artistry to the next level. Join Broche Ballet as we explore the intersection of mental focus and physical execution in this challenging advanced workout.
