About This Video
This specialized advanced ballet barre class, led by Julie at Broche Ballet, is designed for dancers who want to challenge their speed and technical precision. In this 40-minute intensive session, the focus shifts toward rapid execution without sacrificing the core principles of alignment and turnout. The class begins with fundamental plié and tendu exercises that set the tone for a rigorous workout, emphasizing the importance of using the floor to generate power for every relevé.
As the pace quickens, dancers will navigate complex combinations featuring fondu, enveloppé, and développé movements. These exercises are meticulously designed to build the strength required for stable arabesque and attitude positions. Throughout the video, Julie provides expert corrections that highlight common pitfalls in advanced work, such as losing postural integrity during rapid transitions or failing to fully close into a tight sous-sus.
By focusing on the articulation of the foot and the engagement of the core, students will learn how to maintain grace under the pressure of a faster tempo. At Broche Ballet, we believe that advanced training is about returning to the basics with a higher level of scrutiny. This class isn't just about moving fast; it's about moving efficiently.
