About This Video
Discover the intersection of technique and emotion in this 23-minute center practice focused on artistry. Led by Broche Ballet’s expert instruction, this session invites you to step away from the rigidity of the barre and explore the fluid movements of the center. Set to soothing piano music, this class emphasizes the importance of port de bras and how the upper body informs the grace of every step.
The core of this session is a beautiful, expressive combination that integrates temps lié, relevé, and glissé into a seamless flow. You will focus on the coordination of the head, neck, and arms, ensuring that every transition is as intentional as the positions themselves. Our instructor provides detailed feedback on how to pull through to a stable, lifted arabesque and how to execute a deep, controlled cambré that feels expansive rather than strained.
Beyond the physical mechanics, this class delves into the performance aspect of ballet. You will learn how to use your breath to pace your movements and how to gather the audience with your gaze and energy. We encourage you to take risks and treat the combination as a complete piece of art, focusing on the pretty pictures you create in space.
Whether you are looking to improve your fluidity or simply find a moment of peace in your dance practice, this artistry class offers the perfect blend of technical challenge and creative expression. Join us at Broche Ballet to refine your technique and find your unique voice as a dancer.
