About This Video
Take your ballet training to the next level with this comprehensive 22-minute advanced center class from Broche Ballet. This session is specifically designed for intermediate and advanced dancers who are ready to move away from the barre and challenge their stability, core strength, and technical precision. The class begins with a focus on adagio, emphasizing the quality of movement in a ton lié and the sustainment of a classical arabesque.
You will work on maintaining a strong, centered core while utilizing your bras de jambe to create fluid, expressive lines that define professional performance. Moving into more dynamic center work, the instructor provides deep dives into pirouette technique. You will learn the importance of keeping your arms in a 'small frame' and utilizing your legs to generate power without sacrificing balance.
The class covers essential transitions including the tombé, chassé, and pas de bourrée, ensuring that your movement between positions is as graceful as the positions themselves. A significant portion of the practice is dedicated to piqué turns and the mechanics of the fouetté. By breaking down the placement of the working foot and the coordination of the arms, you will gain the confidence to execute these complex rotations with greater consistency.
Throughout the video, you will receive professional corrections on body alignment and posture, helping you avoid common pitfalls like dropping the arms during a pas de basque. At Broche Ballet, we believe that mastery comes from mindful repetition and technical clarity. This class provides the structured environment needed to rehearse complex combinations, helping you build the muscle memory and confidence required for advanced stage work or personal growth.
Join us to refine your artistry and conquer the challenges of advanced center practice.
