About This Video
Welcome to Broche Ballet! In this beginner-focused session, we dive deep into the foundations of classical technique. This 36-minute class is designed to help you build strength, stability, and grace from the ground up.
We begin at the barre, working through essential movements like the plié and fondu to establish a solid base of support and correct turnout. A key focus of this class is the integration of port de bras with leg movements. You will learn how to maintain a relaxed upper body while executing sequences.
We emphasize keeping the arms low and transitions smooth, ensuring your port de bras enhances rather than hinders your balance. Proper body alignment and posture are central themes throughout the lesson, particularly when performing extensions like the arabesque. Transitioning from the barre to the center, we challenge your control and coordination.
You will practice combinations involving passé and développé, focusing on precision and musicality. Our instructor provides detailed corrections on body positioning, helping you avoid common mistakes like leaning or rushing through the choreography. By breaking down each combination into manageable parts, we ensure you master the individual steps before putting them together into a fluid dance.
At Broche Ballet, we believe that practice makes perfect. This class encourages you to take ownership of your learning by focusing on your own progress and technique. Whether you are revisiting the basics or just starting your journey, this practice session offers the constructive feedback and clear demonstrations you need to build confidence.
Join us as we work through this barre and center practice, focusing on the artistry and discipline that define ballet.
