About This Video
Welcome to a comprehensive 64-minute advanced ballet practice designed for dancers ready to push their technical and artistic boundaries. At Broche Ballet, we believe that advanced training requires a deep understanding of the mechanics behind the movement. This session begins with a rigorous barre sequence to prime the body, followed by a demanding center practice that focuses on flow, momentum, and precision.
One of the core focuses of this class is the relationship between momentum and control. You will explore how to use your body positioning to execute complex transitions, such as navigating the momentum required for dynamic turns or maintaining stability during a challenging step-over movement. We break down the mechanics of the footwork, focusing on the down-up motion of the foot necessary to stay grounded and over your center.
In the center, we tackle an intricate pirouette combination. Here, the instructor emphasizes the role of the shoulder in pulling the body into the turn, helping you find the necessary torque without sacrificing alignment. You will also work on positions like arabesque and passé to ensure your lines remain clean and your turnout remains engaged even as the tempo of the choreography increases.
The class concludes with a beautiful and involved révérence. This is not just a simple curtsy; it is a choreographed sequence that incorporates attitude poses, allongé, and a dramatic renversé. You will learn how to hit the pose and hold the moment before flowing into the next movement, ensuring your performance has both technical strength and artistic flair.
Whether you are refining your chassé, tombé, or port de bras, this class provides the specific corrections and feedback needed to reach the next level of your dance journey. This session is perfect for those looking to maintain their professional edge from the comfort of their home studio.
