A strong barre is the backbone of all ballet performance, and this class provides the space to refine the precision and strength required for complex center work and choreography.
Throughout this practice, you will move through a traditional barre sequence, starting with warming pliés and progressing into more dynamic movements. Julie emphasizes the importance of proper alignment and posture, ensuring that every movement—from a simple tendu to a powerful grand battement—is executed with the correct engagement of core muscles. You will work on maintaining turnout and stability even during complex transitions like pas de bourrée and sous-sus.
One of the key focuses of this class is the integration of fluidity and control. We explore positions such as penché, where finding your center is crucial to achieving both height and grace. Julie provides detailed guidance, encouraging you to focus on the nuances of footwork and placement.
By emphasizing the technique behind each movement, this class helps you move beyond just going through the motions to achieving true artistic and technical mastery. In addition to the physical workout, this class addresses the mental side of dance.
