About This Video
Experience a challenging and transformative 42-minute session designed for the dedicated dancer. At Broche Ballet, we believe that the barre is the foundation of all great dancing. This advanced ballet barre class focuses intensely on the nuances of technique, alignment, and fluid movement.
Throughout this session, you will be guided through a comprehensive series of exercises including detailed work on plié, tendu, and dégagé to warm up the body and establish your center. The core of this lesson explores the complexities of advanced movements. We dive deep into the mechanics of the fondu, emphasizing the "melting" quality that requires immense control and strength.
You will also work on developing higher extensions through precise développé sequences, learning how to maintain proper turnout and hip alignment even as the leg reaches its peak. A significant portion of this class is dedicated to an in-depth tutorial on the soutenu, a turn that requires sharp coordination and a strong sense of axis. Our instructor provides detailed corrections to help you move from a basic understanding to professional-level execution.
Beyond the physical steps, this class emphasizes the artistry of ballet. You will learn the importance of breathing through complex combinations, such as a tombé tombé relevé sequence, ensuring that your movements remain lyrical rather than strained. We also incorporate rond de jambe to improve hip mobility and port de bras to enhance your stage presence.
Whether you are looking to refine your current skills or push your physical limits, this Broche Ballet practice provides the conditioning and technical feedback necessary for advanced growth. By focusing on repetition and professional alignment, you will find greater stability and grace in your center work and across-the-floor combinations. Join us for this rigorous practice and elevate your ballet journey today.
