About This Video
Elevate your artistry and technical precision with this 20-minute Advanced Ballet Center practice from Broche Ballet. Designed specifically for experienced dancers, this session dives deep into the mechanics of movement in the center, focusing on the delicate balance between momentum and control. Throughout the class, you will explore complex combinations that challenge your stability and fluidity, ensuring every movement is executed with professional-level refinement.
The lesson begins with a focus on turn execution, specifically targeting the alignment of the shoulders and the strength of the standing side. You will learn how to maintain consistent momentum during pirouettes, ensuring that your turn doesn't just happen, but is fully controlled from the initial plié to the final landing. We delve into the nuances of piqué ballonné and piqué de bourrée, emphasizing the importance of a sharp relevé and precise footwork.
Adagio elements, such as the relevé arabesque, are used to build the core strength necessary for more dynamic movements. By practicing these sustained positions, you improve your ability to find your center quickly, which is vital for successful pirouettes in seconde or passé. Our instructor provides detailed guidance on maintaining an accurate port de bras, which serves as the essential frame for all center work.
You will also practice tombé and pas de bourrée sequences, focusing on the weight transfer and the clean transition between steps. One of the key takeaways of this session is the mastery of the finish; you will learn how to exit turns and jumps with controlled speed and a graceful landing, a hallmark of advanced ballet technique. Whether you are looking to sharpen your competition solo or simply want to improve your daily class performance, this practice offers the technical drills needed to succeed.
