About This Video
Energize your dance practice with this comprehensive 47-minute all-level ballet barre. Designed to help you kick off your week with precision and grace, this class at Broche Ballet focuses on the core principles of classical technique: strength, control, and coordination. Whether you are a beginner looking to solidify your foundations or an intermediate dancer aiming to refine your execution, this session provides the guidance and corrections necessary to elevate your performance.
The class begins with grounding exercises at the barre, including grand plié and relevé, to establish a strong connection with the floor and find your vertical alignment. From there, the instructor leads you through a series of combinations involving plié and attitude swings, emphasizing the importance of a stable core. You will work on building fast footwork and explosive power through grand battement and petit pas de main, learning how to maintain a strong foot while keeping the hip loose and mobile.
A key focus of this lesson is timing and energy. You will practice the synchronization of the hands and feet, ensuring they arrive at their positions simultaneously for a polished, professional look. We also explore développé fondu to build muscular endurance and fluidity. Throughout the class, you are encouraged to push through the floor and lead with the heel to create the clean lines characteristic of classical ballet. By the end of this barre practice, you will feel more confident in your technical ability and ready to take on center work with renewed focus and strength. Join our community at Broche Ballet and transform your technique from the comfort of your own home.
