About This Video
Welcome to Broche Ballet’s Artistry en Pointe session, a class designed to help intermediate dancers transition from technical exercises to fluid, expressive movement. This 31-minute tutorial focuses on a soulful combination set to Mandy Harvey’s cover of Creep by Radiohead. The goal is to help you move beyond the mechanics of your pointe shoes and start feeling like a true artist on stage.
Throughout the lesson, your instructor provides detailed guidance on blending technical precision with emotional storytelling. You will explore a variety of movements including piqué attitude, rond de jambe, and various turns that challenge your balance and control. We place a heavy emphasis on the connectors—the tombé, pas de bourrée, and chassé—that turn a series of steps into a seamless dance.
By focusing on proper alignment and upper body placement, you will learn how to maintain stability en pointe while allowing your artistry to shine through. Broche Ballet is dedicated to creating a supportive environment where adult dancers can play, explore, and enjoy their progress. Whether you are looking to refine your piqué technique or want to practice your musicality, this class offers the perfect blend of challenge and creative freedom.
We will break down the choreography into manageable sections, ensuring you understand the path of the foot and the timing of the music before putting it all together for a final performance. Get ready to push your boundaries and find the joy in your pointe work.
