About This Video
Welcome to a transformative session at the barre that bridges the gap between technical execution and artistic expression. In this Artistry Barre class at Broche Ballet, we move beyond the mechanical to focus on the elements that make you look and feel like a professional dancer: breath, musicality, and stage presence. Set to the enchanting Disney Volume 2 music by Bruno Raco, this class invites you to bring your personality to every movement, from the first plié to the final adagio.
Throughout this 41-minute practice, our instructor guides you through a comprehensive barre sequence. We explore the nuances of port de bras, ensuring that every arm movement is purposeful and connected to your breath. You will work through detailed combinations involving tendus, ronds de jambe, and fondu, focusing on maintaining alignment while finding freedom in your upper body. A highlight of this class is the focus on the développé and temps lié, where we work on transitions that are as beautiful as the poses themselves.
This session isn't just about strength; it's about emotional connection. We incorporate specific choreography that challenges you to convey feeling through your fingertips and gaze. From holding a beautiful, tender pose that evokes a sense of nurturing to executing a powerful arabesque with a lift and spin, you will learn how to make every movement tell a story. This class also includes a special dedication to Solange, emphasizing the power of dance to send love and positive energy. Join us to refine your technique and rediscover the joy of artistic movement.
