About This Video
Elevate your artistry with this comprehensive 60-minute Advanced Ballet Barre and Center class from Broche Ballet. Designed for the experienced dancer, this session dives deep into the nuances of weight distribution and technical precision. Throughout the class, our instructor provides detailed feedback to help you navigate complex sequences with grace and control.
The lesson begins with a focused set of exercises at the barre to engage your turnout and prepare for the challenges of center work. We then transition into specialized combinations featuring the soutenu développé balance. Finding stability in these moments requires a keen understanding of your center of gravity, and this class provides the tools to master that weight transfer.
You will practice piqué soutenu and balance flips, ensuring that every movement is supported by a strong, grounded foundation. A significant portion of the center work is dedicated to mastering step-over turns. These turns are often a point of difficulty for advanced students, but by focusing on the transition between legs during the développé side, you will find a new level of fluidity.
The instructor breaks down the mechanics of the tombé and the piqué, helping you maintain your turnout even during the most demanding combinations. As we move toward the conclusion of the class, we focus on a detailed révérence. This final sequence incorporates full port de bras, a deep longé, and mindful plié work to help you find your turnout one last time before stepping out.
This class is not just about doing the steps; it is about understanding the 'why' behind the movement. Join the Broche Ballet community and refine your technique with this professional-level practice session.
