About This Video
This 40-minute Advanced Ballet Barre session, led by Julie, is meticulously crafted for the experienced dancer looking to refine their technique through challenging and fast-paced sequences. At Broche Ballet, we understand that advanced students require more than just a routine; they need combinations that demand mental focus and physical precision. This class centers on trickier combinations that elevate your daily practice.
We begin by grounding the body through intricate plié and tendu work before progressing into complex fondu sequences. Unlike basic patterns, these exercises travel through devant, à la seconde, and derrière with an emphasis on the melting quality of the movement combined with a sharp, quick execution. One of the highlights of this session is the focus on grand battement with a specific accent.
Julie guides you through the mechanics of the downbeat, encouraging you to find extra height in your extensions without sacrificing alignment. You will learn to harness the power of your core to maintain stability during bold piqué movements and fluid arabesque lines. The class concludes with a high-energy fast finish, challenging your ability to maintain clean footwork and controlled relevé even as fatigue sets in.
This is not just a workout; it is a masterclass in commitment. By emphasizing boldness in every développé and precision in every transition, you will build the strength and confidence needed for center work and beyond. Whether you are preparing for a performance or simply dedicated to your technical growth, this session provides the tools to enhance your flexibility, balance, and artistry.
Join us at Broche Ballet to experience a barre that truly tests your limits.
