About This Video
Elevate your training with this specialized Men's style Ballet Barre at Broche Ballet. While traditional ballet technique is universal, this class focuses on the specific athletic qualities often emphasized in male training: explosive power, dynamic speed, and a strong, stable upper body. Whether you are preparing for big jumps (grand allegro) or seeking to improve your overall stamina, these exercises provide a robust foundation for every dancer.
Throughout this 45-minute session, our instructor guides you through a traditional sequence starting with a thorough warm-up to engage the core and find your center. We move through precise plié sequences to build leg strength and tendu exercises designed to sharpen footwork and precision. Special attention is given to the upper body and port de bras, ensuring your carriage remains noble and supported during complex movements.
You will also practice cambré movements to improve spinal flexibility and reach, along with targeted stretching for the hamstrings to ensure a full range of motion. The class is designed to help you understand the mechanics of power—learning how to use the floor to generate force for future jumps and turns. By focusing on alignment and deep muscle engagement, you will develop the control necessary for high-level execution.
Join us at the barre to cultivate a more powerful, athletic presence in your dancing. This session is an excellent supplement to your regular training, providing the cross-training benefits needed to sustain long rehearsals and challenging choreography without fatigue.
