About This Video
Welcome to an intensive 40-minute session at the Broche Ballet barre. This class is specifically designed for dancers who have mastered the basics and are ready to tackle more intricate choreography and complex phrasing within their daily practice. While labeled as an all-level class, this particular session pushes the envelope by introducing combinations that require heightened coordination, mental focus, and physical control.
We begin with a traditional warm-up, moving through precise plié and tendu exercises designed to establish your center and engage your core from the very first minute. As the class progresses, the instructor introduces more demanding movements, including rond de jambe, coupé, and passé sequences that challenge your balance and turnout. A significant focus of this class is the transition between steps.
You will work on the fluidity of your pas de bourrée and the strength required for sustained adagio work. Throughout the lesson, you will receive detailed technical corrections focused on proper alignment, shoulder placement, and the lift of the body through cambré and arabesque. These nuances are what separate a basic exercise from a professional-level performance.
We also emphasize musicality, encouraging you to use your port de bras to express the phrasing of each combination. Whether you are practicing in a home studio or using a portable barre, this lesson provides the structure needed to improve your classical dance technique. We conclude the session with powerful grand battement to build explosive strength, ensuring a full-body workout that leaves you feeling longer, stronger, and more aligned.
Join us at Broche Ballet to refine your craft and take your technique to the next level.
