About This Video
Unlock the true potential of your dancing with our 'Artistry in Center' session at Broche Ballet. This class is specifically designed to help you move beyond the mechanical execution of steps and discover your unique voice through movement. Set to a beautiful piano arrangement of 'Colors of the Wind' by Bruno Raco Lawrence, this choreographed routine challenges you to integrate technical precision with profound emotional expression.
Throughout this practice, your instructor guides you through a series of flowing sequences that emphasize the importance of breath. ' We dive deep into the mechanics of several key ballet steps, including the chassé, soutenu, and sous-sus. You will practice finding stability in a sous-sus before transitioning into an elegant arabesque, focusing on the reach and the extended line of the body.
The choreography also features chaînés turns and ronds de jambe, requiring a delicate balance of momentum and control. One of the core takeaways from this lesson is the 'push and pull' dynamic of dance. By understanding how to build energy through your arms and torso, you can better convey the storytelling elements of the routine, such as the imagery of searching or reaching for the unknown.
At Broche Ballet, we believe that technique is the foundation for artistry. By refining your plié and mastering the coordination of your port de bras, you gain the freedom to let the music guide your soul. This class encourages you to treat every movement—even the 'empty steps'—with intention and grace.
Through repetition and detailed feedback, you will build the confidence needed to bring this choreography to life, transforming a series of steps into a cohesive, emotive performance.
