About This Video
Shake off the morning chill and find your center with this comprehensive 45-minute All-Level Ballet Barre class. At Broche Ballet, we believe that the barre is the foundation of every dancer’s practice, regardless of experience level. This session is specifically designed to generate internal heat and improve circulation through a sequence of traditional exercises that build in complexity and intensity. We begin with slow, mindful movements to awaken the joints before progressing into more dynamic work.
The class focuses heavily on the fundamentals of classical technique. You will be guided through essential movements including the articulation of the foot in a *tendu* and the sharp, disengaged energy of a *dégagé*. As the body warms up, the lesson introduces more expansive movements such as *grand battement* and *arabesque*, ensuring you maintain proper alignment and posture throughout. We also explore the grace of *port de bras* and the fluidity of a *développé*, teaching you how to use your breath to transition smoothly between positions.
Our instructor provides detailed corrections and feedback throughout the video, emphasizing the importance of turnout and core engagement. You will learn how to execute a *penché* with control and find length in your *cambré* to express musicality. By the end of this barre workout, you will feel energized, lengthened, and better connected to your technique. Whether you are a beginner looking to establish a strong foundation or an experienced dancer wanting a focused warm-up, this class offers the perfect blend of technical rigor and artistic expression. Grab your barre and let the music guide your movement as we master the art of ballet together.
