About This Video
Elevate your technique with this comprehensive 60-minute Advanced Ballet Barre session at Broche Ballet. This class is specifically designed for the experienced dancer looking to push past their comfort zone through increased speed, intricate coordination, and complex combinations. The centerpiece of this lesson is a demanding long frappé sequence that challenges both your mental agility and physical precision.
Throughout the hour, you will be guided through a traditional barre structure but with an advanced twist. We begin with deep, controlled pliés and progress quickly into faster movements. You will work through a series of exercises incorporating relevé, soutenu, and passé, focusing on the clarity of each position.
The instructor emphasizes the technical 'how' behind the movement, providing corrections that help you maintain proper alignment and turnout even as the tempo increases. One of the highlights of this practice is the focus on transition steps. You will refine your tombé piqué and dégagé sequences, learning how to shift weight seamlessly without losing your center.
The class also delves into fondu and rond de jambe, ensuring that while we strive for speed, we never sacrifice the melting quality and fluid rotation required for professional-level execution. As part of the Broche Ballet community, we believe that advanced training should be both challenging and rewarding. This class concludes with a light adagio and a grand battement sequence, allowing you to find length and power after the high-frequency footwork of the frappé section.
By focusing on technical accuracy and speed, dancers can expect to see improvements in their foot articulation and overall stability. The instructor encourages a mindful approach, reminding students to enjoy the process of learning complex patterns. Regular practice of these advanced routines is essential for building the stamina needed for longer variations and demanding choreography.
