About This Video
Elevate your practice with this comprehensive 58-minute advanced ballet class from Broche Ballet. Designed for dancers who have mastered the basics and are ready to tackle complex combinations, this session bridges the gap between technical exercise and artistic performance. The class begins with a rigorous barre sequence, emphasizing the core principles of classical ballet technique. You will engage in precise movements such as tendu and rond de jambe to warm up the muscles, followed by deep fondu exercises to build the strength necessary for powerful jumps and stable turns.
As we move to the center, the focus shifts toward spatial awareness, balance, and fluid transitions. One of the primary goals of this session is the refinement of pirouette execution. We break down the mechanics of the preparation, the importance of a strong relevé, and the alignment needed to sustain multiple rotations. You will practice various turning combinations, incorporating piqué turns and tombé transitions that challenge your coordination and agility.
Our center work also dives into intricate footwork sequences. You will refine your pas de bourrée and balancé, focusing on the rhythmic timing and musicality that transform a series of steps into a dance. The instructor provides detailed feedback on body positioning, helping you understand how to use your upper body to complement your footwork. Throughout the class, we emphasize the value of repetition and focused practice in mastering complex movements like petit allegro and across-the-floor patterns.
The class concludes with a beautiful reverence, a traditional final bow that allows you to stretch, reflect on your progress, and show gratitude for the art form. This practice is not just about physical execution; it is about developing an appreciation for the storytelling power of ballet. Whether you are training for a performance or simply dedicated to your personal growth as a dancer, this full-length class offers the tools and corrections you need to reach the next level of your ballet journey.
