About This Video
Elevate your classical technique with this comprehensive 1-hour Advanced Ballet Barre class led by Julie at Broche Ballet. Designed for the experienced dancer, this session goes beyond basic mechanics to focus on the nuances of professional-level movement. The class begins with a series of pliés and ronds de jambe, emphasizing proper turnout and alignment from the very first exercise.
Julie guides you through the importance of core engagement, demonstrating how a stable center allows for greater freedom in the extremities. As the barre progresses, you will dive into complex fondu and brush combinations. These exercises are structured to challenge your coordination and stamina, particularly when executing sequences en croix.
You will practice specific movements like piqué and passé, which are essential building blocks for successful pirouettes and center work. The curriculum also focuses on the mechanics of turns, teaching you how to balance momentum with precise control. Throughout the practice, the instructor provides the high-level corrections and feedback that Broche Ballet is known for, helping you polish your form and prevent common technical errors.
You will also learn the necessity of stretching the feet and toes between combinations to maintain flexibility and manage muscle tension. By the end of this hour-long intensive, you will have a deeper understanding of how to integrate strength, grace, and technical precision. This class is an excellent tool for dancers looking to maintain their professional edge or students preparing for advanced-level exams and performances.
