About This Video
Unlock a deeper level of expression in your dancing with our 'Artistry en Pointe' ballet class. At Broche Ballet, we believe that technique is the foundation that allows your true artistry to shine. In this session, we move beyond basic barre exercises to explore a beautiful, choreographed routine set to 'When My Heart Speaks' from the Emotional Choreography Ballet Piano Collection. This class is specifically designed for dancers who want to transition from thinking about their feet to feeling the music.
This class focuses on the delicate balance between the precision of pointe work and the lyrical fluidity of the upper body. You will learn a comprehensive combination that weaves together several essential movements, including piqué, pas de bourrée, and tombé chassé. The choreography is designed to help you feel like a professional dancer, encouraging you to let your 'heart speak louder than your pointe shoes.' By focusing on the connection between your emotions and your execution, you can transform a simple exercise into a performance.
Throughout the lesson, your instructor provides detailed guidance on how to achieve a seamless flow. We emphasize the importance of the port de bras, using allongé and expansive arm movements to create a sense of wind and light through the upper body. While the feet remain punctuated and precise, the upper body provides the lyrical contrast that defines high-level artistry. To maintain your balance and center while executing these complex moves, we focus on pulling the belly button up and engaging the core, ensuring a strong, stable line in every sous-sus.
Whether you are working on your stability or the grace of your transitions, this tutorial offers the mental focus and physical cues needed to elevate your performance. By repeating these sequences, you will build the muscle memory required to stop thinking about the mechanics and start feeling the rhythm. We also explore the mental energy required to perform, teaching you how to use your focus to lead the audience's eye. Join us at Broche Ballet to refine your technique and rediscover the joy of dancing en pointe.
