About This Video
Transform your daily practice into a performance with Broche Ballet’s Artistry Barre. This 43-minute session is designed to help you move beyond the technical mechanics of dance and tap into the soulful, expressive qualities that define a true artist. Set to the lyrical and emotive music of Frédéric Chopin, this class invites you to find a deeper connection between your breath and your movement.
We begin with a series of gentle plié and stretching exercises to warm up the body and quiet the mind. As the session progresses, you will be guided through a series of intentional combinations including fondu, cambré, and développé. The focus here is not just on the height of the leg or the strength of the turnout, but on the quality of the movement—how you melt into a fondu or how your port de bras follows the natural cadence of the music.
A key highlight of this class is the work on en cloche and temps lié, where the emphasis remains on fluidity and control. Instructor guidance ensures you maintain proper alignment while encouraging you to relax and let the energy intensify naturally. You will explore movements such as arabesque and deep cambré to the front and back, focusing on the lift and length of the spine.
By the time we finish the second side of the barre, you will feel a renewed sense of stage presence. This class is perfect for those seeking a peaceful, meditative yet physically engaging ballet experience. Whether you are practicing in a studio or your living room, this artistry-focused barre will leave you feeling like a dancer ready for the stage.
Join us at Broche Ballet to refine your technique and rediscover the joy of musicality through the lens of classical artistry.
