About This Video
Take your training to the next level with this Advanced Ballet Center class at Broche Ballet. Designed for experienced dancers, this session dives deep into the complexities of center work, focusing on the refined control needed for adagio and the explosive power required for grand battement. Whether you are practicing in a studio or from home, these exercises provide the rigor and technical detail necessary to elevate your artistry and stability.
One of the core focuses of this class is the development of turning technique. We explore the intricacies of the pirouette en dedans, emphasizing the importance of keeping the shoulders down and the working knee back in the passé position. Turning isn't just about speed; it's about the marriage of alignment and momentum.
Our instructor breaks down the mechanics of fouetté drills, teaching you how to use your arms and core to maintain balance throughout multiple rotations. You will learn how to keep your shoulder blades engaged, providing a stable frame for your movements. The lesson also features a bonus renversé, a beautiful yet challenging step that requires a perfect blend of a strong back and fluid port de bras.
Throughout the drills, we emphasize the use of sharp transitions and promenades to build a sense of groundedness even while moving through space. By focusing on both sides of the body, you will ensure balanced muscle development and coordination. At Broche Ballet, we believe that advanced technique is built on a foundation of mindful practice.
This class encourages you to engage your core, maintain a straight back, and use your eyes for spotting to achieve clean finishes. By the end of this session, you will have a better understanding of how to harness momentum and speed without sacrificing the grace and precision that define classical ballet. Join us for this intensive center practice and push the boundaries of what your body can achieve.
