High-Energy All-Level Ballet Barre Class

Welcome to a high-energy training session at Broche Ballet, designed to challenge dancers of every level. This 42-minute class focuses on the essential foundations of classical technique while pushing your physical limits through dynamic combinations. Our "All-level Ballet Barre" is specifically crafted to help you build strength, improve your alignment, and find greater freedom of movement.

Throughout this session, we dive deep into the mechanics of the grand battement. You will learn how to execute these powerful leg throws with precision, focusing on the vital connection between the tricep and the armpit to maintain a stable and quiet upper body. We emphasize the importance of core engagement, ensuring that every movement—from a simple plié to a complex grand battement combo—is supported by a strong center.

A highlight of this class is our work on enveloppé and fondu combinations. These exercises are crucial for developing the "melting" quality required in classical dance while building the leg strength necessary for more advanced center work. We also explore the concept of counterweights, teaching you how to use your body's natural balance to support complex movements and maintain stability.

Precision is the name of the game in this class. Whether we are working on brushing movements through the floor or maintaining a strict tempo during battements in la seconde, you will receive detailed instruction on how to refine your technique. We also focus on the stillness between movements, teaching you how to hold positions with control to prevent injury and enhance your lines.
