About This Video
Welcome to a dynamic 21-minute session designed to elevate your pointe work. In this Broche Ballet class, we bridge the gap between foundational basics and intermediate artistry. Whether you are working on your strength at the barre or preparing for more complex center sequences, this tutorial provides the technical breakdown you need to succeed.
We begin with essential barre exercises, focusing on the precision of the foot. You will explore movements like the dégagé and fondu, emphasizing the critical role of the standing leg. One of the unique aspects of this class is the integration of Pilates-inspired movement patterns, which help build the core stability necessary for stable en pointe work.
We discuss the transition from using two hands on the barre to finding your balance with just one, a vital step for any developing dancer. ' This routine blends classical ballet technique with the rhythmic flair of a Broadway-style medley. You will practice a footwork sequence that includes piqué passé, relevé passé, and the intricate pas de bourrée.
These combinations are designed to improve your timing and fluidity, teaching you how to transition smoothly from a sharp tombé into a lifted sous-sus. Proper form is our priority. We dive deep into how to reach for the floor with your standing leg to maintain height and stability.
By breaking down complex footwork into manageable segments, you will gain the confidence to move with speed and grace. Mastery comes through practice and repetition, and this video offers the perfect structure to drill these movements until they feel second nature. Join Broche Ballet for this artistic and technical journey as we refine your pointe technique through fun, musical combinations.
