Advanced Ballet Center: Mastering Complex Waltz and Pirouette Combinations

Elevate your training with this Advanced Ballet Center session at Broche Ballet, specifically designed to challenge your coordination and technical precision. In this class, we dive deep into a complex waltz combination that integrates a variety of demanding movements, including piqué soutenus, balances, and intricate pas de bourrées. The focus of this lesson is on the fluidity of movement and the technical nuances that separate an intermediate dancer from an advanced one.

Throughout the video, you will work through a series of exercises that emphasize the importance of weight placement. When performing turns, you will learn to step over with the opposite foot to maintain a solid center of gravity. We also address the specific mechanics of the piqué pas de bourrée, ensuring your transition from the supporting leg to the working foot is both sharp and controlled.

Beyond the footwork, this class highlights the artistry of the upper body. You will practice specific port de bras to complement your turns, learning to keep the arms long, open, and the fingers relaxed. We also explore the concept of looking under and over during transitions to add professional polish to your performance.

The session concludes with a graceful port de bras exercise to refine your allongè and overall carriage. By the end of this practice, you will have a better understanding of how to maintain a relaxed hip while shifting weight and how to finish every combination with strength and control. Whether you are looking to sharpen your pirouettes or improve your stability in complex sequences, this advanced waltz combination provides the perfect technical hurdle for dedicated dancers.
