About This Video
Celebrate the magic of the holiday season with Broche Ballet in this special Christmas Day Ballet Barre. This 33-minute class is designed to help you maintain your technical focus while embracing the joy of the holidays. Our instructor leads you through a thoughtful sequence that prioritizes alignment, breath, and the refined quality of movement that distinguishes a true artist. Whether you are practicing in your home studio or using a chair as a makeshift barre, this session provides the perfect festive escape to keep your body moving.
The class begins with a foundational warm-up in première position, quickly transitioning into more challenging work involving plié relevés to build stability and foot strength. A key focus of this session is the attitude in deuxième position. You will learn how to achieve a beautiful, sweeping motion by engaging the inner thigh and ensuring the leg moves behind the body with precision. We also explore technical combinations in troisième and quatrième positions, emphasizing a strong port de bras and the integration of breath to maintain control during transitions.
Beyond the physical workout, this class incorporates the spirit of the day through a performance-focused approach. We discuss how to use your breath to find relaxation within the effort, ensuring your dance movements remain fluid and expressive. The session culminates in a traditional révérence. This final exercise is more than a bow; it is a moment of gratitude where we collect our energy and intention, concluding the practice with grace and poise. Join the Broche Ballet community this Christmas for a practice that nourishes both your technique and your holiday spirit.
