About This Video
Welcome to Broche Ballet’s Advanced Power Barre, a comprehensive 53-minute session designed to push your technique to the next level. This class specifically targets the explosive power and technical precision required for professional-level jumps and turns. By focusing on foundational movements at the barre, you will build the muscular memory and alignment necessary to transition seamlessly into center work.
Throughout this session, we dive deep into the mechanics of turning. You will explore how proper hip placement—keeping the hips underneath you—is the secret to successful rotations, particularly during en dehors and fouetté movements. Our instructor guides you through challenging sequences involving plié, fondu, and passé pointé, emphasizing the importance of a strong standing side and a clean, sharp port de bras.
One of the highlights of this Power Barre class is the focus on speed. Speed in ballet isn't just about moving fast; it is about the precision of the footwork and the control of the upper body. We practice déboulé preparations and fouetté actions, training the body to whip around while maintaining a strong à la seconde position.
This method ensures that when you step into the center, your turns are stable, fast, and aesthetically pleasing. Beyond turns, this class serves as an essential preparation for jumps. By developing strength in your fondus and maintaining correct alignment in croisé positions, you create the spring-like tension needed for high-elevation sautés and assemblés.
Whether you are working toward professional goals or simply want to feel more powerful in your daily practice, this Advanced Power Barre class offers the rigorous training you need. Join the Broche Ballet community and transform your technical execution through focused, high-intensity barre work.
