About This Video
Step into the studio with Broche Ballet for a comprehensive 42-minute Advanced Ballet Barre session designed to challenge your technical boundaries while fostering a deep sense of artistic control. This class is structured for the seasoned dancer who understands that the foundation of every great performance is built at the barre. Our session begins with thoughtful plié sequences that establish your connection to the floor and your turnout.
From there, we progress into increasingly complex movements, including precise tendus and dégagés that prepare the feet for the speed required in the middle of the class. A centerpiece of this lesson is the challenging frappé combination. Frappé is essential for building the sharp, percussive energy needed for allegro, and in this advanced iteration, we focus on the strike and the stability of the standing leg.
As the class moves into the adagio portion, the focus shifts toward fluidity and extension. You will work through développés and grand pliés with an emphasis on sustained control and the lengthening of the limbs. Our instructor provides detailed feedback on maintaining a square pelvis and a lifted core, ensuring that your arabesque and other extensions are both beautiful and anatomically sound.
We also integrate grand battement exercises to challenge your range of motion and explosive power without sacrificing your alignment. Beyond the physical steps, this class emphasizes the importance of proper breathing techniques, which allow you to find moments of relaxation even during the most strenuous movements. By listening to your body’s needs and making necessary adjustments to your turnout and posture, you can prevent injury and improve the longevity of your dance career.
Whether you are a professional or an advanced student, this Broche Ballet barre offers the rigorous practice needed to maintain your technique and enhance your overall well-being.
