About This Video
Welcome to Broche Ballet’s Advanced Speed Barre, a high-intensity session designed for experienced dancers who want to maximize their practice time. This class embraces a "less instruction, more dancing" philosophy, allowing you to immerse yourself in the flow of the movements without long pauses for explanation. It is the perfect workout for those looking to challenge their muscle memory, refine their technical precision, and build stamina at a faster tempo. Throughout this 42-minute session, we dive deep into complex barre combinations that demand focus and agility.
We start by grounding our technique with fluid pliés and sharp tendus, quickly transitioning into more intricate sequences. You will work on the melting, controlled quality of the fondu while maintaining the strength required for quick, sharp movements like pas de cheval and soutenu. The class places a heavy emphasis on maintaining proper alignment and turnout, even as the music picks up speed. By practicing movements like passé and attitude at this pace, you develop the muscular control and coordination needed for demanding center work and allegro sequences.
As we progress, we tackle grand battement and développé, focusing on explosive power tempered by classical control. Our instructor provides concise, targeted corrections to help you adjust your placement and energy throughout the session. This Speed Barre is not just about moving fast; it is about maintaining the integrity of ballet technique under pressure. Whether you are preparing for a performance or simply want to push your physical limits, this class offers the intensity and rigor required for advanced training. Join us at Broche Ballet to build the strength, precision, and confidence that define a professional-level dancer, mastering everything from the articulation of a pas de cheval to the stability of a clean sous-sus.
