About This Video
Elevate your practice with our Advanced Ballet Center class at Broche Ballet. This session is specifically designed for experienced dancers looking to refine their technique, balance, and artistry away from the barre. In this intensive center practice, we dive deep into the mechanics of movement, focusing on the critical details that transform a good turn into a great one.
The class emphasizes the importance of a strong back and core engagement to maintain stability during complex sequences. One of the key technical focuses is the use of the elbows to generate power and stability for turns like the pirouette. You will learn how to maintain a straight wrist in positions such as effacé and during a soutenu, ensuring your lines remain long, elegant, and classically aligned.
Throughout the 23-minute session, you will work through combinations involving pas de bourrée, chassé, and tombé. We focus on the precision of the plié and the strength of the relevé to provide a stable foundation for more complex allegro and pirouette sequences. The instructor provides detailed, real-time feedback to help you navigate challenging movements like fouettés and grand jetés with poise and control.
Whether you are practicing in a home studio or a professional space, this class offers the technical insights needed to improve your stability and power. By mastering the coordination of the upper body and the drive of the legs, you will develop the stability necessary for advanced classical ballet. Join us to challenge your center of gravity and bring a new level of sophistication to your dancing.
