About This Video
Take your training to the next level with this comprehensive 49-minute advanced ballet barre class at Broche Ballet. Designed specifically for experienced dancers, this session moves beyond the basics to challenge your coordination, strength, and artistic expression. We begin with a traditional barre sequence, focusing on the precision of plié, tendu, and dégagé exercises to warm up the body and establish the necessary turnout for more demanding movements.
As the class progresses, we delve into intricate combinations that require a high degree of control. You will work through fondu and écarté sequences that emphasize the 'melting' quality of the movement while maintaining a strong, stable supporting leg. The highlight of this session is the challenging Fouetté Adagio, a series that integrates fouetté actions within a slow, controlled adagio framework.
This requires not just physical strength but a deep understanding of weight placement and core engagement. Mastering this combination will significantly improve your stability during turns and center work. Throughout the video, your Broche Ballet instructor provides detailed corrections on alignment and posture.
You will learn how to properly execute a piqué into tombé, ensuring that your transitions are fluid yet precise. We also focus on the lines of the arabesque, emphasizing the importance of keeping the knee back and the spine elongated to achieve a professional silhouette. The instructor’s use of visual cues and verbal feedback helps you internalize these technical nuances, making it easier to correct your own form in real-time.
By the end of this class, you will have pushed your technical boundaries and gained a better mastery of complex transitions like the pas de bourrée. Whether you are refining your technique en pointe or working in flat shoes, this class offers the rigorous structure and expert feedback needed to succeed. Join us at the barre and elevate your dance practice today with this high-level technical challenge.
