About This Video
Elevate your daily practice with this comprehensive 40-minute all-levels ballet barre session. At Broche Ballet, we believe that a strong foundation is the key to artistry, and this class focuses on the intricate details that make movements truly professional. Throughout this session, we dive deep into the mechanics of traditional barre work while introducing challenging sequences that will test your coordination and stability.
We begin with foundational exercises including plié, tendu, and dégagé to warm up the body and establish proper alignment. As the class progresses, we move into more complex movements such as fondu and grand battement. You will learn to execute these with precision, focusing on keeping the knee turned out and the toes fully stretched.
A unique highlight of this class is the work on développé with quarter turns, designed to improve hip opening, leg swings, and overall range of motion. The session also tackles a specifically challenging sequence: learning the tombé coupé relevé transition following frappé combinations. This requires quick footwork and a strong sense of weight placement.
We also explore piqué arabesque, emphasizing core control and balance as you switch between extensions and holds. Whether you are looking to refine your pirouettes or simply want to improve your leg height and control, this barre offers the perfect blend of technical rigor and fluid movement. By focusing on the tricky parts of ballet technique, this class helps you bridge the gap between basic steps and advanced artistry.
Join Julie for a focused, encouraging practice that will leave you feeling stronger, more flexible, and better prepared for center work.
