About This Video
Elevate your technique with this comprehensive Advanced Ballet Center class from Broche Ballet. Designed for experienced dancers, this session dives deep into the complexities of center work, focusing on fluid transitions, precision in turns, and the artistry of port de bras. We begin with a sophisticated tendu combination that challenges your coordination and weight transfer before moving into a series of challenging sequences that bridge the gap between exercise and performance.
Moving into the adagio portion, we explore the nuances of the renversé, focusing on the specific three-count rhythm and the core stability required for the accompanying pas de bourrée en tournant. The instructor provides detailed breakdowns on how to maintain a calm mind during challenging sequences like fouettés, emphasizing that mental focus is just as important as physical execution. A significant portion of the class is dedicated to mastering the pirouette.
You will work on quick preparations and the specific arm placement needed for powerful, controlled turns. We also incorporate the pas de cheval, focusing on the large sweep of the working leg and maintaining turnout throughout the movement. By reversing combinations on the left side, you will develop bilateral symmetry and cognitive agility.
Throughout the class, the Broche Ballet approach emphasizes both technical accuracy and expressive quality. You will learn how to use port de bras to create beautiful moments within a sequence, transforming a technical exercise into a piece of artistry. Whether you are working on your chassé, plié, or passé, this class offers the expert guidance needed to refine your advanced ballet vocabulary and center-floor confidence.
