About This Video
Welcome to a challenging and rewarding Advanced Center class at Broche Ballet. This session is meticulously designed for advanced students looking to push their technical boundaries through a sophisticated combination of strength, balance, and artistry. We dive deep into the mechanics of complex center work, focusing heavily on turning fouettés, en dedans and en dehors turns, and the fluid control required for adagio.
The class begins with movements that emphasize proper alignment and core engagement, such as plié and cambré sequences. These foundational elements are essential for maintaining stability during more explosive movements later in the lesson. As we move into the center, the instructor provides detailed guidance on the use of momentum and the role of the shoulders.
For instance, you will learn how the arm closest to the back of the room acts as a driving force for en dedans movements, ensuring a clean and powerful rotation. A significant portion of the class is dedicated to mastering the fouetté turn. We break down the transition between the plié and the quick switch of the legs, emphasizing a straight working leg and rapid transitions rather than holding positions too long.
Whether you are working on single or double fouettés, the focus remains on precision and the coordination between the arms and legs. Beyond turns, we explore the grace of arabesque and the intricate footwork of pas de bourrée. The class balances high-energy technical challenges with expressive performance qualities, helping you transition from a student of technique to a true performer.
By integrating chassé and tendu movements into complex phrases, you will develop a better sense of spatial awareness and musicality. Join us at Broche Ballet to refine your technique and find greater fluidity in your dancing.
