About This Video
Elevate your training with this Advanced Ballet Center session at Broche Ballet, designed specifically for experienced dancers who are ready to move beyond simple execution toward true technical mastery. This 21-minute class focuses on the intricate details of center work, challenging your stability, coordination, and phrasing through a series of demanding combinations. Throughout the lesson, the instructor provides detailed feedback to help you transition from basic movements to professional-level performance.
The core of this practice revolves around the synergy between turnout and alignment. You will dive deep into the mechanics of maintaining turnout during complex balances, specifically when stepping into à la seconde or executing a rapid pas de bourrée. The class emphasizes that stability comes from a strong core and precise placement of the feet, ensuring your center of gravity remains secure even during the most dynamic transitions. By focusing on these foundations, you will find greater ease in your movement and a more secure sense of balance.
Turning technique is a major highlight of this session. We explore the mechanics of the pirouette, prioritizing a fluid entry and a highly controlled finish. You will learn to create visual interest by contrasting large, sweeping steps with smaller, sharper movements, a hallmark of advanced artistry. The curriculum also covers waltz steps, teaching you how to utilize timing and breath to maintain a smooth, continuous flow across the floor. These exercises are designed to improve your spatial awareness and musicality.
Finally, we address the artistic elements of the upper body, focusing on port de bras and allongé positions. You will practice using your arms to frame the body and support your weight during turns. The session concludes with a traditional révérence, reinforcing the grace and discipline that define the ballet tradition. Whether you are refining your technique for personal growth or preparing for more intensive work, this advanced class offers the professional guidance necessary to excel.
