About This Video
Welcome to a festive and transformative session with Broche Ballet. Our Christmas Music Artistry Barre is specifically designed to help you move beyond the mechanics of ballet and tap into the soulful expression of a true performer. Set to a beautiful holiday soundtrack, this 43-minute class emphasizes the artistry in ballet, focusing on the subtle nuances that make a dancer stand out: breath control, musicality, and a commanding stage presence. Throughout the class, you will refine foundational movements including tendu, coupé, and sous-sus while learning to connect these steps into a seamless flow of movement.
We place a significant emphasis on port de bras and the fluid movement of the upper body. You will learn how to coordinate your arms and elbows to create smooth transitions into positions like the arabesque, ensuring your lines are long and expressive. The instructor provides detailed guidance on maintaining proper body alignment and turnout, ensuring that every movement, from a simple tendu to a complex développé, is executed with control and grace. A key component of this session is exploring the emotional depth of ballet. By integrating your breath with your movement, you will discover how to create a full-body experience that resonates with your audience.
This lesson also dives deep into technical challenges such as the double développé and complex turns, requiring precise timing and coordination. Whether you are working on your footwork during a petit battement or holding a sustained arabesque, the focus remains on quality over quantity. Join us at Broche Ballet to enhance your technique while celebrating the holiday season. This class is perfect for dancers looking to add a layer of sophistication and performance quality to their daily practice. By the end of this barre, you will feel more connected to the music and more confident in your ability to express yourself through dance.
