About This Video
Elevate your classical foundation with this detailed 75-minute beginner ballet class. This session is meticulously structured to help you bridge the gap between basic movements and more complex center combinations. We begin with a robust 50-minute barre sequence designed to build the necessary strength and alignment for advanced work.
You will focus on the precision of your plié and the height of your passé, ensuring that every movement is executed with intentionality and control. Throughout the barre, we emphasize the correct placement of the cou-de-pied to sharpen your footwork and articulation. Following the barre work, the class transitions into 25 minutes of center practice.
Here, you will apply the stability gained at the barre to dynamic movements, specifically focusing on the promenade. You will learn how to maintain a strong line in positions like arabesque while utilizing subtle pivots of the standing heel to rotate gracefully. A highlight of this session is learning the promenade fouetté, a movement that demands exceptional core support and timing.
Our Broche Ballet instructors provide constant feedback on your soutenu and pas de bourrée, ensuring your transitions across the floor are fluid and professional. The class concludes with a traditional révérence, leaving you with a sense of accomplishment and improved poise. Whether you are refining your sous-sus or mastering the coordination of your arms and legs, this class provides the technical building blocks essential for every aspiring dancer.
Join us to develop the balance and breath control required for beautiful, expressive ballet.
