About This Video
Welcome to a high-level training session at Broche Ballet designed to push the boundaries of your technical precision. This advanced ballet barre class focuses on complex coordination, requiring dancers to maintain impeccable form while navigating intricate sequences. We dive deep into the nuances of movement, starting with foundational plié and chassé exercises that emphasize through-the-floor energy and proper alignment.
The heart of this session lies in its unique and tricky dégagé patterns. These are designed to challenge your mental focus and physical speed simultaneously. Following this, we transition into frappé exercises specifically crafted to enhance your épaulement.
By integrating head and shoulder placement into these sharp, rhythmic movements, you will develop a more expressive and professional upper body carriage. One of the highlights of this class is the pirouette-ing grand battement. This exercise bridges the gap between barre work and center practice, teaching you how to maintain stability and turnout while incorporating the rotational energy of a pirouette into a powerful kick.
Throughout the class, we explore the fluidity of développé and allongé, ensuring every extension is reached with grace. Instruction includes detailed feedback on weight placement during soutenu and passé transitions, helping you find your center even in the most demanding combinations. We conclude the barre with a dynamic grand jeté sequence that travels across the floor, testing your ability to transition power into poise.
Whether you are looking to sharpen your reflexes or deepen your understanding of advanced mechanics, this Broche Ballet class provides the tools necessary for artistic and technical growth.
