About This Video
Elevate your ballet practice with this comprehensive advanced center class from Broche Ballet. This session transitions from foundational center work into complex choreography, focusing on the fluidity of movement and the technical precision required for professional-level execution. We begin with purposeful tendu and adagio sequences designed to establish your center and find your balance away from the barre before moving into more dynamic combinations.
The heart of this class is a challenging waltz routine that integrates tombé, pas de bourrée, and various turns, including arabesque and en dehors pirouettes. A primary focus of this lesson is learning how to build power and momentum through the floor. You will explore how a deep, controlled plié acts as the engine for your turns, allowing you to release force upward and rotate freely.
Our instructor provides detailed guidance on maintaining core engagement and proper hip alignment to ensure stability during high-momentum movements. Beyond the physical mechanics, we delve into the nuances of musicality and timing. You will learn how to coordinate the pique, down-step, and swivel movements characteristic of a sophisticated waltz.
Whether you are struggling with turn consistency or looking to add more grace to your transitions, this class offers the tools to improve your control. Join us to refine your artistry and build the strength needed for advanced center work.
