About This Video
Elevate your dance practice with our Advanced Ballet Center class, a comprehensive 25-minute session tailored for experienced dancers. At Broche Ballet, we believe that mastering the center requires a perfect blend of technical precision and artistic fluidity. This lesson focuses on the nuances of en dedans turns and complex waltz combinations that will challenge your coordination and balance.
The class begins with detailed work on port de bras, ensuring your upper body movements are as expressive as they are technically sound. You will practice the integration of cambré and plié to develop a supple spine and grounded lower body. As we move into the center, the instructor guides you through piqué and sous-sus exercises, emphasizing the importance of a strong core and sharp footwork.
These fundamental elements are essential for executing the more complex sequences found later in the class. One of the highlights of this session is the focus on en dedans turns. We break down the preparation and the push required to achieve multiple rotations while maintaining a clean line.
You will also work on a variety of traveling steps, including the balancé and chassé, which are key components of any waltz combination. The instructor provides specific cues for the tombé and pas de bourrée, helping you navigate the transition from one movement to the next with ease. Furthermore, the class incorporates adagio elements such as the développé and tendu front, which demand exceptional control and leg extension.
You will learn how to coordinate your breath with your movements, particularly during the soutenu turns to the corner. By the end of this session, you will have a deeper understanding of how to combine these individual steps into a cohesive and beautiful dance sequence. Join us at Broche Ballet to refine your technique and bring more grace to your center work.
