About This Video
Experience the intersection of technical precision and artistic expression in this 49-minute Beautiful Bach Artistry Barre class at Broche Ballet. Led by the esteemed Bruno Raco, this session invites dancers to look beyond the physical execution of steps and explore the soul of the movement. Set to the timeless compositions of Johann Sebastian Bach, the class emphasizes the flow, rhythm, and phrasing that define professional-level artistry.
The lesson begins with foundational plié and tendu combinations, where the focus is on the rebound—using the floor to create dynamic, breathing movements. Throughout the barre, Bruno guides you through intricate port de bras, encouraging a deep connection between the upper body and the legs. You will explore the concept of framing your foot, a technique that involves aligning your arms and torso to highlight the line of the working leg, particularly during développé and arabesque sequences.
A major highlight of this class is the integration of breath. By utilizing quarter breaths and long exhales, you will learn to sustain movements and find greater stability in challenging balances. Bruno provides expert feedback on maintaining proper alignment while executing complex bourrée combinations and failli transitions.
This approach ensures that even the most rigorous technical work feels lyrical and fluid. Whether you are working on your développé to the back or seeking more grace in your port de bras, this class offers the tools to transform your practice. By focusing on musicality and stage presence, you will move beyond the exercise of the barre and start feeling like a true performer.
