About This Video
In this 25-minute advanced center session, Broche Ballet invites you to refine your technical precision and artistic flow. This class is specifically designed for dancers who want to master the complexities of en dedans turns while maintaining impeccable body alignment and core engagement. Throughout the practice, you will work through a series of exercises that bridge the gap between static positions and fluid movement.
We begin by focusing on the mechanics of the précipité into arabesque. This transition requires significant core stability and a strong, elongated leg to ensure that the momentum of the movement does not compromise your posture. The instructor provides detailed feedback on maintaining turnout and a lifted upper body, ensuring that every plié serves as a powerful foundation for the following step. As the routine progresses, you will delve into sequences involving balancé, failli, and pas de bourrée. These steps are essential for developing the coordination necessary for advanced center work. A particular emphasis is placed on temps lié, where the shift of weight must be smooth and controlled.
One of the key challenges addressed in this class is the ability to execute transitions without losing connection to the music or the space. The instructor emphasizes the importance of keeping the eyes up and the body in a straight line during turns. By focusing on the nuances of port de bras, you will learn to use your arms not just for decoration, but as a functional tool for balance and timing. This mental focus, combined with physical discipline, allows for more consistent en dedans rotations and professional-level execution. Whether you are working in a home studio or a professional space, this session provides the structured guidance needed to elevate your dance technique. By the end of the class, you will have practiced a full routine that integrates these complex elements into a cohesive, graceful performance. Join Broche Ballet for this intensive practice and take your center work to the next level.
