Advanced Ballet Class: Center Barre, Pirouettes, and Momentum

Welcome to this comprehensive 61-minute advanced ballet class with Broche Ballet, specifically designed for dancers ready to transition their strength from the barre to the floor. This session focuses heavily on the 'center barre' concept, challenging your stability and alignment without the physical support of a barre. By stripping away the external support, we focus on the internal mechanics that create a professional-level line and control.

Throughout the class, we dive deep into the nuances of turns and balance. You will explore the relationship between momentum and the axis, learning how to generate exactly the right amount of power for a clean pirouette. The instructor provides detailed guidance on maintaining a 'heavy' standing side and keeping the standing shoulder down to preserve your vertical alignment. We also focus on the transition from a tombé pas de bourrée into a clean pirouette, ensuring that your passé is high and your landing is controlled.

In addition to turn mechanics, this class emphasizes the artistry of port de bras and the precision of relevé arabesque. You will learn how to integrate fluid arm movements with rigorous leg work, such as in our piqué turn and fondu sequences. The class concludes with refined choreographed sequences that focus on intentionality, from the initial preparation to the final curtsy. Whether you are looking to master a single, perfect rotation or improve your overall center work, this class provides the technical corrections and encouragement needed to reach your goals. Join our Broche Ballet community and take the next step in your dance journey by refining your speed, axis, and artistic expression in the center.
