About This Video
Elevate your center practice with this advanced Broche Ballet class, specifically designed to help you master the nuances of en dedans turns and attitude pirouettes. In this session, we move beyond basic mechanics to explore the relationship between the floor and your core, ensuring every movement is executed with both grace and power. The core philosophy of this lesson centers on the standing leg.
Many advanced dancers struggle with consistency in turns because they rely too heavily on the upper body for momentum. Our instructor guides you through exercises that emphasize staying deep in your plié and trusting your foundation. By learning to generate power from the lower body and pushing through the floor during your relevé, you create a more stable and controlled pirouette.
Throughout the class, we break down complex sequences, including a sophisticated waltz combination. You will work on integrating movements such as the pas de bourrée, chassé, and tombé with fluid transitions. We pay special attention to the allongé lines and the precision of passing through first position to maintain the classical aesthetic while navigating the room.
Key technical focuses include maintaining the alignment of the head, hips, and shoulders during the transition from a fondu into a turn. You will learn how to find such perfect balance that the body's positioning remains undisturbed by the movement of the legs. Whether you are preparing for performance or simply looking to refine your technical facility, this class offers the repetition and detailed instruction needed to master complex dance combinations.
