About This Video
Welcome to this comprehensive 60-minute Beginner Ballet Barre and Center class at Broche Ballet. This session is designed to bridge the gap between basic movements and fluid combinations, focusing on building a strong foundation in both technique and artistic expression. We begin at the barre, where the focus is on alignment and precision.
You will work through essential exercises including plié, tendu, and rond de jambe. These foundational movements are crucial for developing the strength and turnout required for more advanced work. We also incorporate cambré to improve flexibility and port de bras.
As we transition to the center, the class shifts focus toward coordination and movement across the floor. You will learn to execute the temps lié movement with smooth transitions, ensuring your weight placement is accurate as you shift from one position to another. The center work delves into more complex steps like the pas de bourrée and chassé, where we emphasize maintaining proper form and turnout while moving through space.
A highlight of this class is the detailed breakdown of the curtsy. You will learn the mechanics of keeping your knees together and sliding the back leg across to create a graceful, professional finish. We also explore the tombé and pas de valse, encouraging dancers to move their legs quickly and smoothly.
The lesson culminates in a dramatic finale, allowing you to showcase your skills with grand expression and flair. Throughout the session, the instructor provides specific corrections and feedback to help you refine your posture and execution. Whether you are refining your technique or learning these steps for the first time, this class provides the tools necessary to elevate your practice.
Join us at Broche Ballet to cultivate your artistry while mastering the technical nuances of beginner ballet in a supportive environment.
