About This Video
Elevate your foundational technique with this comprehensive Beginner Ballet Barre class at Broche Ballet. This session is specifically designed to challenge your stamina and physical strength while maintaining the elegance and precision required in classical dance. Over the course of 46 minutes, we dive deep into the mechanics of movement, ensuring every plié and tendu is executed with anatomical integrity and grace.
The core of this class focuses on the relationship between the spine, tailbone, and deep core engagement. You will learn the importance of maintaining a long, neutral spine and avoiding the common pitfall of "tucking" the tailbone, which can impede your turnout and balance. By engaging the glutes and core muscles correctly, you create a stable base that allows for greater freedom in the legs.
Our instructor provides detailed corrections on specific positions, such as ensuring the knee remains properly rotated during a développé devant and maintaining the correct relationship between the knee and heel in attitude positions. We cover a full range of barre exercises, including coup-de-pied, tendu, and transitions into attitude front and à la seconde. Each movement is an opportunity to refine your alignment—focusing on the space between the shoulder blades and the stability of the lower back.
Whether you are reaching through a tendu front or holding a retiré, the emphasis remains on breathing and proper form to build the muscular endurance needed for more advanced center work. This class is perfect for adult dancers who want to move beyond basic steps and truly understand the mechanics behind ballet technique. Join Broche Ballet today to transform your practice and build a stronger, more resilient body through the art of the barre.
