About This Video
Welcome to this comprehensive center practice at Broche Ballet, specifically designed for dancers ready to elevate their technique and master the complexities of en dedans pirouettes. This session is an exploration of the counterbalance, alignment, and core engagement required to execute powerful and successful center movements. We begin by grounding ourselves with precise demi-plié and développé exercises.
These foundational elements are crucial for building the strength needed for higher-level combinations. Throughout the class, we emphasize the importance of the croisé position, focusing on keeping the shoulders relaxed and the weight perfectly centered over the supporting leg. This focus on alignment ensures that when you transition into more dynamic movements, your base remains unshakable.
One of the unique sequences featured is the 'river run' dance routine. Here, we emphasize the artistry of ballet movement, using allonger and fluid circles with the arms to create a sense of continuous motion. This exercise challenges your ability to maintain turnout and a tall posture while traveling through space.
You will also practice the tombé and attitude, learning how specific head placement and a big circle forward can aid your balance and momentum. Furthermore, we delve into the mechanics of the promenade. To execute a successful promenade, one must maintain an open chest and a steady gaze while the supporting foot subtly adjusts.
We provide specific corrections on maintaining control throughout the rotation. By practicing these complex movements with a focus on deep breathing and relaxation, you will learn to find ease even in the most demanding positions. Whether you are refining your technique or building the stamina for longer combinations, this class offers the tools to help you stay tall and centered in every step.
