About This Video
Welcome to a transformative 23-minute session at Broche Ballet where technique meets soul. This center practice is designed to help you move beyond the mechanics of ballet and tap into your inner artist. Set to the evocative melody of Adele’s "Easy on Me," the choreography invites you to explore the emotional range of your movement. We focus heavily on the artistry of port de bras, teaching you how to use your arms and upper body to tell a story while maintaining a strong, stable center.
Throughout this class, you will be guided through an intricate choreography routine that blends classic ballet steps with expressive phrasing. We start with the fundamentals, breaking down the tendu and dégagé sequences to ensure your alignment is correct before layering on the artistry. As we move through the routine, you will practice transitions like the chassé and cambré, learning how to connect each movement with grace and continuity. The instructor provides real-time feedback and adjustments, helping you understand the nuance of tuck and open movements and the importance of breath in your delivery.
One of the key features of this Broche Ballet practice is the use of repetition. We perform the combination several times, adding layers of detail with each pass. This iterative approach allows you to master the footwork first, eventually freeing your mind to focus on head positions, épaulement, and the delicate finish of the fingertips. By the end of the class, you won't just be executing steps; you will be performing a dance that resonates with heart and expression. This class is an excellent choice for those looking to improve their coordination and build the confidence to dance with more presence in the center. Join us to refine your port de bras, strengthen your transitions, and find your unique voice as a dancer through this beautiful Adele-inspired routine.
