Throughout this class, we move beyond simple repetition to focus on the intricate mechanics that define high-level ballet technique.
The class begins with a focus on grounding and alignment. You will learn the importance of engaging your core muscles immediately to maintain stability during complex movements. We progress through a full range of barre work, including detailed pliés, tendus, and ronds de jambe. Special attention is paid to the transition between steps, such as moving from a controlled plié into a sharp tendu, ensuring that every movement is intentional and connected.
As we move into more demanding exercises like fondu and développé, Julie provides expert guidance on maintaining a square pelvis and proper arm placement. You will explore the specific mechanics of the attitude position, focusing on keeping the thigh bone close to the body to achieve maximum lift and correct form. The class also incorporates relevé work to build calf strength and petits battements to improve foot speed and articulation. We conclude with powerful grands battements, challenging your range of motion while maintaining upper-body stillness.
