About This Video
Take your training to the next level with this comprehensive Advanced Ballet Center class from Broche Ballet. This session is meticulously designed for dancers who have mastered the basics and are ready to tackle complex coordination and sustained control. We begin by exploring a sophisticated turning tendu exercise, which demands acute awareness of your center and precise footwork.
Moving into the adagio section, the focus shifts to the elegance of the arabesque and the demanding control of a penché. You will learn how to maintain your line while navigating slow, fluid transitions that build functional strength. The class also dives deep into turning mechanics.
You will refine your piqué turns, ensuring a sharp strike and a clean slide into sous-sous. Our instructor provides detailed breakdowns on tombé pas de bourrée technique, emphasizing the necessity of keeping the weight over the front foot to maintain momentum. By understanding how to use the floor as a springboard, you will find more power and stability in your pirouettes and soutenu turns.
We also touch upon en dedans and en dehors rotations, helping you find the necessary torque for successful execution. Beyond the mechanics, this video emphasizes performance quality and stage presence. You will learn how to connect individual steps—like the transition from a tombé into a pas de bourrée—into a seamless, cohesive phrase.
The instructor offers constant feedback on alignment, specifically focusing on hip placement and the use of the upper body to support lower-body movements. By the end of this 25-minute practice, you will have a deeper understanding of how to blend technical accuracy with the artistry required for advanced ballet performance. Perfect your craft and find your flow with Broche Ballet’s expert guidance.
