About This Video
Welcome to a high-energy session from Broche Ballet, specifically designed for the intermediate to advanced dancer. Our Speed Barre format is built for those who want less instruction and more dancing, allowing you to immerse yourself in the flow of the movement and push your physical conditioning to the next level. This session challenges your muscle memory and stamina through a comprehensive series of exercises that move rapidly through traditional sequences.
The focus of this Advanced Ballet Speed Barre is on maintaining impeccable technique even as the tempo increases. We move through foundational sequences before diving into demanding combinations involving fondu, enveloppé, and développé. A unique highlight of this class is the use of soutenu to transition directly between the right and left sides, requiring sharp spatial awareness and quick mental transitions.
This helps build the 'mental dance muscle' required for complex center work and performance choreography. Throughout every exercise, from the first plié to the final arabesque, we emphasize the importance of staying tall. Use the visualization of reaching your ears toward the ceiling to maintain an elegant line and a deeply engaged core.
Proper hand placement and arm control are vital; even at high speeds, your port de bras must remain intentional. By focusing on these fine details, you ensure that every relevé, passé, and fouetté is executed with professional-level precision. Whether you are looking to build strength or refine your daily practice, this Speed Barre offers the perfect environment to test your control.
You will engage your core, legs, and arms in a way that builds functional strength and balletic grace. Prepare to stay tall, move with intention, and embrace the challenge of fast-paced technique.
