About This Video
Welcome to a high-energy session from Broche Ballet designed for the advanced dancer looking to sharpen their technique under tempo. This Speed Barre class minimizes lengthy explanations to maximize your time moving, focusing on the intersection of speed and precision. We ensure that even at a faster pace, your alignment and artistry remain uncompromised throughout every exercise.
The class begins by establishing a strong foundation through proper posture and length. We utilize specific exercises like the forward stretch to improve back flexibility and carriage. A major theme of this lesson is the use of friction against the floor. By engaging the floor correctly during tendu and dégagé, you build the necessary power for more explosive movements like the grand battement. You will learn how to maintain height through the crown of the head while stretching, ensuring your lines remain long and elegant.
The curriculum progresses into complex combinations, including a dynamic temps lié and dégagé sequence designed to test your weight transfer and footwork. We also integrate passé, pirouette, and relevé into the final barre sequences to bridge the gap between barre work and center practice. Throughout the video, you will receive expert corrections on maintaining a heavy release when transitioning positions and keeping the body engaged to prevent injury and improve aesthetics.
Whether you are working on your arabesque height or the sharpness of your sous-sus, this class provides the professional-level feedback needed to excel. Join the Broche Ballet community and transform your home practice into a rigorous, athletic studio experience that pushes your limits and refines your craft.
