About This Video
Welcome to an intensive 53-minute advanced ballet barre session with Broche Ballet, specifically designed for dancers looking to refine their technical edge and increase their lower body power. This class moves beyond basic patterns to explore complex combinations that challenge your coordination, speed, and spatial awareness. We begin with a comprehensive set of barre exercises, starting with detailed plié and tendu sequences that establish the proper alignment and turnout required for the more demanding work to follow.
The heart of this session focuses on the 'Fancy Frappé' and 'Fondu' segments. You will work on developing a sharp, rhythmic frappé that builds explosive strength in the feet and lower legs, essential for advanced petit allegro. Complementing this is a deep dive into fondu technique, where the emphasis shifts to fluidity and control. We pay close attention to the mechanics of the passé and the transition through various body positions, including working en face, croisé, and écarté derrière. By focusing on the 'quasi' and 'ecarte' alignments mentioned in the lesson, you will gain a more professional understanding of how to present your lines to an audience.
Furthermore, this class integrates advanced turn preparation, specifically focusing on pirouettes en dedans. We break down the timing and coordination of the head and arms to ensure a stable, successful turn. Throughout the video, you will receive expert corrections regarding body positioning—emphasizing the importance of keeping the torso engaged and the supporting leg strong. Whether you are working on your en dehors rotations or mastering the timing of a complex frappé, this class provides the repetitions and professional insights needed to level up your artistry. Join our community and bring more power and grace to your daily practice with this rigorous advanced barre.
