About This Video
Push your technical boundaries with this 45-minute Advanced Ballet Barre session at Broche Ballet. This class is meticulously designed for experienced dancers who want to refine their coordination and enhance their musicality through sophisticated sequences and rapid-fire transitions. Our instructor guides you through a comprehensive set of exercises, ranging from deep, controlled plié and fondu sequences to high-energy grand battement combinations that challenge your height and power.
Throughout this practice, we focus heavily on the relationship between balance and speed. You will work on sustaining stability during relevé and sous-sus while preparing for the dynamic requirements of advanced turns. A primary technical highlight of this session is the mastery of double piqué turns. We dive deep into the mechanics of these turns, emphasizing the importance of a high retiré position, consistent turnout, and precise spatial awareness. By focusing on maintaining a high knee and keeping the heels together during weight shifts, you will build the muscle memory needed for effortless, controlled rotations.
In addition to technical precision, this class encourages dancers to find 'lightness' in their movement, even during demanding combinations. You will navigate complex transitions between movements like développé and écarté, ensuring every transition is fluid and intentional. This class also incorporates essential stretching and flexibility work to ensure your range of motion supports the height and extension required at an advanced level. Whether you are preparing for center work or simply looking to sharpen your technical edge, this Broche Ballet barre provides the professional-level structure you need to excel.
