About This Video
Welcome to a detailed 46-minute all-level ballet barre designed to refine your technique and build functional strength. At Broche Ballet, we believe that a strong foundation is the key to expressive and injury-free dancing. This session focuses specifically on the mechanics of the frappé, ensuring your footwork is sharp, precise, and anatomically sound.
The class begins with essential warm-up exercises, moving through a full sequence of traditional barre work. You will delve deep into the execution of the grand plié, focusing on maintaining proper alignment and turnout throughout the full range of motion. We then transition into more lyrical movements, including the développé and attitude swings, where the emphasis shifts to movement quality and the containment of the working leg.
A significant portion of this lesson is dedicated to the frappé. The instructor provides a step-by-step how-to, explaining how to brush the floor and find the necessary speed without sacrificing posture. You will also work on grand battements, practicing how to throw the leg with power while keeping the supporting side stable.
Throughout the recording, you will receive professional cues on posture, footwork, and the subtle nuances that separate a good movement from a great one. Whether you are a beginner looking to understand the basics or an intermediate dancer seeking a technical refresher, this class offers valuable insights. By focusing on the mechanics behind each movement, Broche Ballet helps you develop a more mindful and effective practice.
