About This Video
Elevate your daily practice with our Advanced Speed Barre at Broche Ballet. Designed for the dancer on the go, this 35-minute session delivers a comprehensive workout that focuses on high-intensity execution with minimal verbal explanation. If you are an intermediate or advanced student looking to sharpen your reflexes and maintain your technical foundation, this class offers the perfect blend of speed and precision.
The session begins with dynamic tendu flex and petit battement exercises specifically designed to loosen the hips and activate the legs quickly. Throughout the class, Julie emphasizes the critical role of core engagement. You will learn how to maintain a tight ribcage and engage the upper abdominals to prevent falling backward or losing alignment when applying force for turns or pushing off the floor. This focus on the upper back and core is essential for maintaining balance during complex sequences.
Our technical focus extends to the mechanics of the plié and relevé. You will treat these movements as preparation for landing jumps, focusing on the control and strength required for a professional-grade finish. The class also tackles challenging en dedans pirouettes from fifth position, encouraging dancers to find their center under pressure. By practicing these movements on both sides of the barre, you will improve your bilateral symmetry and overall control.
This Speed Barre is structured to keep you moving, ensuring your heart rate stays elevated while your technique remains the priority. We cover the full spectrum of barre work—from front, side, and back positions—ensuring every muscle group is conditioned. Join us at Broche Ballet to experience a workout that respects your time while demanding your best performance. Whether you are prepping for a full rehearsal or just squeezing in a session before work, this class provides the professional-level training you need.
