About This Video
Welcome to Broche Ballet’s Advanced Speed Barre, a high-energy session designed for the dancer who wants to dive straight into the work. " Perfect for the intermediate or advanced student, this practice focuses on the nuances of technique that elevate your performance from the studio to the stage. The session begins with a comprehensive series of barre exercises, starting with foundational grand pliés and moving through intricate tendus and developpés.
Throughout the class, the focus remains on maintaining a strong core and engaging the shoulder blades to ensure upper-body stability. You will work on the precision of your relevé and the fluid control required for tombé and attitude movements. Unlike slower instructional videos, this Speed Barre challenges your ability to maintain proper alignment and posture while keeping up with a consistent, brisk tempo.
One of the core objectives of this practice is to cultivate effortless control. You will learn to unfurl the leg smoothly during transitions and maintain tension in the leg during deep pliés, preventing early extensions that can lead to a loss of form. We also delve into the mechanics of the upper body, teaching you how to keep the tricep still and the armpit strong to create a beautiful, supported line.
By focusing on controlled breathing and mental composure, you will find that you can sustain high-level performance throughout the entire duration. This class is an excellent way to build the stamina and coordination needed for more complex center work and choreography. Join us at Broche Ballet to refine your turn-out, improve your physical fitness, and experience the joy of a fluid, uninterrupted ballet barre.
Whether you are looking for a daily maintenance routine or a challenging technique refresher, this Speed Barre is the ideal addition to your training regimen.
