About This Video
Take your center work to the next level with this 15-minute advanced Ballet practice from Broche Ballet. This session is designed for dancers who want to move beyond the basics and master the complexities of momentum, balance, and spatial awareness. We begin by establishing a strong foundation with tendu and intentional épaulement, ensuring your upper body is engaged and ready for the technical challenges ahead.
The core of this class focuses on intricate pirouette combinations that blend front and back turns. You will learn how to use your momentum efficiently to transition between a piqué soutenu and a powerful assemblé without losing your alignment. The choreography also introduces step-over turns, where the instructor emphasizes the importance of a clean passé and the precise swiveling of the feet to maintain continuous movement flow.
In addition to turning mechanics, the lesson includes a short adage to challenge your sustained balance and control. You will practice hitting specific attitude poses to anchor your movement before transitioning into the next step. To finish the session, we execute a graceful révérence incorporating chassé, tombé, and coupé movements, concluding with a traditional curtsy.
Throughout the practice, you will receive specific corrections on body positioning and alignment, helping you execute every movement with professional-level precision and artistry. Whether you are refining your piqué or working on the fluidity of your transitions, this class provides the technical depth required for advanced training.
