About This Video
Elevate your ballet practice with this comprehensive advanced center class designed to challenge your coordination, strength, and artistry. In this session at Broche Ballet, we transition from the stability of the barre to the dynamic challenges of center work, focusing heavily on advanced turning mechanics and complex sequences. A primary focus of this class is the mastery of the en dedans pirouette.
Turning inward requires a specific understanding of weight placement and torque. We break down the transition from tendu to plié, ensuring your standing leg is securely grounded before the relevé. You will learn how to maintain alignment and proper spotting throughout the turn, which is essential for maintaining balance during multiple rotations.
The centerpiece of the lesson is the grand versé routine. This sequence demands exceptional control and a deep understanding of body placement. We explore how to maintain a twisted aesthetic from the front view, keeping the body in a beautiful attitude position while sustaining the relevé.
We will navigate through tendu, ton lié, arabesque, and pas de bourrée, focusing on the immediate transfer of weight necessary for seamless transitions. Throughout the class, we emphasize the importance of turnout and core stability. You will practice maintaining your turnout even during the most demanding soutenu and bourrée movements.
Our instructor provides real-time corrections on posture and alignment, helping you to find more height in your relevé and more breath in your movement. By focusing on these technical nuances, you will build the confidence needed to perform large-scale movements like grand jetés and fouettés with grace and power. Whether you are preparing for a performance or simply looking to refine your technical foundation, this advanced practice offers the tools to take your dancing to the next level.
