About This Video
Elevate your artistry with this intensive advanced center practice session from Broche Ballet. This class is designed specifically for dancers who are ready to push their technical boundaries through complex sequences and sophisticated movement patterns. We move away from the barre to focus on the strength and stability required for high-level center work.
The core of this lesson focuses on the promenade fouetté, a demanding movement that requires exceptional balance and precise coordination. You will learn how to maintain your alignment while rotating, ensuring that your leg remains at the correct height in arabesque or à la seconde. Our instructor provides detailed breakdowns on how to use your port de bras to support your placement throughout the turn.
We also explore a challenging tendu and pirouette combination. Here, the focus shifts to quick footwork and sharp transitions. Mastering the pas de bourrée and tombé chassé sequences is essential for building the momentum needed for multiple rotations.
You will receive expert feedback on engaging your core to find a solid center of gravity, allowing for more controlled and graceful pirouettes. Throughout the session, we emphasize the importance of body positioning and shoulder placement. Understanding how to use your shoulders to generate and control momentum is a key takeaway that will improve your overall stability.
We also practice enveloppé and passé movements to refine your transitions and ensure every step is executed with professional polish. Whether you are preparing for performance or simply looking to challenge yourself, this class offers the repetition and detailed correction necessary for mastery. By focusing on proper turnout, core engagement, and the fluid connection between movements, you will build the confidence to tackle even the most difficult center combinations.
Join us at Broche Ballet as we refine these advanced techniques together.
