About This Video
Elevate your daily practice from mere exercise to a true performance with our Artistry Barre at Broche Ballet. This 39-minute session is designed for the dancer who wants to move beyond the technical mechanics of the barre to find deeper expression and fluid connection. Led by our expert instructors, this class prioritizes the nuances of breath and musicality, ensuring that every movement—from a simple plié to a complex développé—is infused with grace and intention.
During this session, we dive deep into the mechanics of port de bras, exploring how the carriage of the arms can transform a sequence. You will focus on the coordination between your upper and lower body, learning how to use an allongé position to create length and how to maintain a strong, supported spine (vertébré) for better balance. The class moves through a traditional sequence including ronds de jambe and tendu lié, but with a specific lens on transitions.
Instead of treating each movement as an isolated event, you will learn to bridge the gaps with fluid energy and poise. Whether you are working on your arabesque line or refining your alignment, this class provides the corrections and feedback necessary to cultivate a professional stage presence right from your home studio. By integrating these artistic elements early in your training, you build the muscle memory required for captivating performances.
Join us at the barre and discover how to breathe life into your technique, making every step a part of your unique artistic story.
