About This Video
Elevate your practice with this specialized masterclass featuring guest instructor Katja Treger. This session is designed for the dedicated dancer looking to bridge the gap between technical execution and true ballet artistry. Throughout this hour-long class, Katja leads students through a sequence that emphasizes the fluidity of movement and the strength required for controlled, graceful performance. At Broche Ballet, we believe that technique is the foundation of expression, and this class focuses on exactly that.
The lesson begins at the barre, focusing on the fundamental mechanics of the plié and relevé. Katja provides detailed insights into maintaining proper alignment and a stable center of gravity, which are essential for more advanced movements. You will work through slow, deliberate adagio exercises that challenge your balance and muscular endurance. By focusing on the intentionality of a cambré or the precision of a dégagé, you will learn to fill the music and find length in every limb.
Transitioning from the barre to the center, the class introduces more dynamic movements, including grand battement and jump sequences. A key focus of this session is the integration of breathing and musicality, which allows for smoother transitions and more powerful jumps, such as the grand jeté. Katja emphasizes the importance of arm connection and focus, helping you develop a cohesive performance quality. With an emphasis on repetition and professional corrections, this class is an invaluable resource for mastering the subtleties of ballet placement and footwork.
