About This Video
Discover the intersection of technical precision and artistic expression in this special Artistry Barre class from Broche Ballet. Set to beautiful piano covers of popular music, this session is designed to help you transition from simply performing steps to truly dancing. We focus heavily on the "how" and "why" of movement, emphasizing the breath as the fuel for your artistry.
Throughout this 38-minute practice, you will work through a full barre sequence, with a specific focus on adagio movements like the développé. You will learn how to use your breath to find relaxation within challenging extensions, allowing for a more fluid and emotive performance. We explore the nuances of port de bras and allongé, teaching you how to extend your lines beyond your fingertips to connect with a virtual or live audience.
Technical proficiency is the foundation, but this class challenges you to layer on musicality. You will practice steps like chassé, temps lié, and fondu, focusing on the quality of transitions and the phrasing of the music. By integrating these elements, you develop a stronger stage presence and a deeper emotional connection to your movement.
Whether you are practicing in a small home studio or a professional space, this class provides the tools to refine your posture and alignment while exploring your unique voice as a dancer. We delve into the significance of emotion in dance, especially during grand adagio sections, helping you to convey a story through every movement. Join us at Broche Ballet to transform your technique into true artistry and find joy in the musicality of every step.
