About This Video
Join Julie for a comprehensive Advanced Ballet Barre class designed to challenge your technical boundaries and refine your artistry. At Broche Ballet, we believe that the barre is the foundation of every great dancer’s practice. This session focuses on the intricate details that separate intermediate work from advanced mastery, emphasizing foot articulation, core stability, and the fluid integration of breath into every movement.
Throughout this intensive practice, you will work through a full progression of exercises. We begin with grounding pliés and precise tendus, moving into rapid battements and complex rond de jambe combinations. Julie provides expert guidance on maintaining a strong foundation, encouraging you to use your toes to find length and press firmly into the floor for maximum stability.
You will explore movements en croix to ensure balanced development across all planes of motion. One of the highlights of this class is the focus on varied tempos. By practicing quarter-time and half-time combinations, you will develop a more sophisticated internal clock and better control over your weight transfers.
As the barre progresses, we delve into fondu and développé sequences that require intense core engagement and poise. The inclusion of sous-sus and arabesque work helps prepare the body for center practice, building the necessary strength for balance and extension. The class concludes with a specialized petit allegro section.
This segment bridges the gap between the support of the barre and the agility needed for center work. You will focus on landing softly, maintaining a consistent tempo, and ensuring your alignment remains impeccable even during faster movements. Whether you are looking to polish your technique or push your physical limits, this class offers the professional feedback and structured instruction needed to excel.
