1-Hour All-Level Ballet Barre for Deep Inner Thigh & Core Strength

Elevate your home practice with this comprehensive 1-hour barre session led by Julie at Broche Ballet. This class is meticulously designed to bridge the gap between simple movement and deep muscular engagement, focusing specifically on inner thigh activation and structural core support. Whether you are an intermediate dancer refining your craft or an ambitious beginner, this session provides the technical breakdown necessary to improve your stability and aesthetic line.

The lesson begins with a focused warm-up that transitions into essential barre exercises including plié, tendu, and dégagé. Throughout the class, Julie emphasizes the importance of the adductors and the pelvic floor, guiding you through specific cues to ensure you are not just moving through space, but actively engaging the muscles required for professional-level turnout and control. You will explore the mechanics of a proper fondu, learning how to maintain a consistent lift in the torso while the standing leg works through its deep bend and subsequent relevé.

A significant portion of the class is dedicated to the relationship between the hip flexors and the structural core. By understanding how to stabilize the pelvis, you will find greater freedom in your arabesque and more power in your développés. Julie also introduces an intermediate jumps portion, allowing you to take the strength built at the barre and apply it to dynamic, light movements. By focusing on the 'lift'—the internal sensation of growing taller through the spine—students will leave the class feeling taller, stronger, and more aligned. Join Broche Ballet for this technical deep-dive and discover how small adjustments in your core and inner thighs can transform your entire ballet practice.
