About This Video
Get ready to elevate your heart rate and sharpen your technical precision with Broche Ballet’s Super Sweaty Speed Barre. This 39-minute intensive session is specifically designed for the intermediate to advanced dancer who craves more movement and less verbal instruction. Set to the beautiful, rhythmic compositions of Chopin, this class challenges your muscle memory and cardiovascular endurance through a series of fast-paced, high-efficiency exercises.
Our Speed Barre focuses on the seamless transition between foundational movements. You will work through an invigorated series of plié and tendu combinations that demand immediate engagement of the core and glutes. The instructor guides you through complex sequences including enveloppé, passé, and développé, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a tall spine and proper shoulder alignment. During the cambre portions, you will be reminded to keep your shoulders behind your hips to ensure a safe and functional stretch that maintains the integrity of the lower back.
One of the core components of this class is the use of en croix patterns to build coordination and speed. From the sharp delivery of a grand battement to the fluid control of a retiré, every movement is designed to help you find your center while moving at an accelerated tempo. This isn't just a workout; it's a technical refinement session. You will learn how to maintain your turnout and square hips even when the music demands rapid-fire execution.
At Broche Ballet, we believe that practicing at speed is essential for transitioning from the barre to center work. By the end of this session, you will feel more confident in your ability to execute quick transitions without sacrificing the grace and form that defines classical ballet. Whether you are looking to squeeze a full workout into a busy schedule or you want to push your technical boundaries, this Speed Barre class provides the perfect balance of artistry and athletic challenge.
