About This Video
Welcome to a comprehensive 48-minute all-level ballet barre class at Broche Ballet. This session is designed to deepen your understanding of fundamental movements while challenging your strength and coordination. Whether you are practicing at home or in a studio, this class provides the technical scaffolding necessary to elevate your practice to the next level.
The class centers on technique tips that make a real difference in your dancing. We dive deep into proper alignment and turnout, starting right from first position. You will learn how to maintain straight legs during movements like a battement or a dégagé, ensuring every brush against the floor is crisp, intentional, and technically sound.
One of the standout features of this class is the emphasis on generating power and maintaining control. We explore how a deep, resonant plié serves as the essential engine for more complex movements. Whether you are preparing for a pirouette or a jump, the quality of your plié and your connection to the floor are paramount.
The instructor provides detailed feedback and corrections throughout the exercises, encouraging you to engage your core and use your legs to generate maximum power. Moving beyond the basics, the session incorporates grand battement and jump preparation. We focus on the specific timing and the effort required to lift the leg while maintaining a stable core and upright posture.
By the time we reach the pirouette practice from fourth position, you will feel the integration of your core and leg strength working together. This practice is about more than just doing the steps; it is about mastering them through repetition and mindful execution. Pay close attention to footwork and placement on demi-pointe, as these details elevate your dancing from simple movements to professional-grade artistic expression.
Join us for a physically demanding and technically rewarding experience that builds the strength needed for a beautiful ballet line.
