About This Video
Elevate your pointe work with Broche Ballet in this comprehensive 37-minute class designed to refine your technique at the barre. This session focuses specifically on the foundational elements of classical ballet, with a special emphasis on the temps lié. This movement is essential for developing a sense of weight transfer and fluidity, which are critical for moving seamlessly between positions when dancing en pointe.
Throughout this class, you will be guided through a series of classic barre exercises, starting with demi-plié and tendu to warm up the feet and establish a strong connection with the floor. The instructor provides detailed feedback on maintaining proper posture and alignment, ensuring that your core is engaged to support every movement. As we progress, we explore the nuances of the enveloppé and the power required for a clean grand battement.
One of the key benefits of this barre session is the focus on foot articulation. Working in pointe shoes requires an extra level of strength and precision, and these exercises are designed to build that intrinsic muscle memory. We also pay close attention to the artistry of the upper body, incorporating graceful port de bras to ensure that your technique remains expressive even during the most demanding physical conditioning.
By the end of the class, you will have practiced a variety of combinations, including su-su and piqué movements, all aimed at improving your stability and coordination. This Broche Ballet class is an excellent tool for dancers looking to enhance their range of motion and flexibility while maintaining the control necessary for advanced ballet technique. Whether you are rehearsing for a performance or simply looking to maintain your conditioning, this barre en pointe session offers the structured practice needed to excel.
