About This Video
Welcome to a specialized Advanced Center practice session with Broche Ballet, designed to challenge your stability and precision. In this class, we move beyond the barre to focus on the intricate coordination required for advanced movements, specifically targeting the en dedans attitude pirouette and complex transitions like the step over. The lesson begins with targeted step over drills to ensure proper weight placement and alignment before integrating these movements into dynamic combinations.
You will work through a series of exercises including four balancés, fluid arabesque lines, and a pas de bourrée leading into a pirouette that transitions directly into a step over. A major focus of this session is the mental aspect of turning; our instructor emphasizes the importance of staying present and making micro-adjustments in real-time to successfully execute double turns. By focusing on your relevé and maintaining a strong passé position, you will build the necessary strength to recover from mistakes and land with control.
Whether you are working on your consistency or looking to add more complexity to your center work, this class provides the technical breakdown and repetitions needed to excel. We conclude with a review of the combinations and a final bow, leaving you with a deeper understanding of how proper posture and focused intent drive successful execution.
