Daily Ballet Warmup: A Technique-Focused 2-Hands Barre Practice

Establish a solid foundation for your dance training with this comprehensive 23-minute daily warmup from Broche Ballet. This session is designed specifically as a two-hands-on-the-barre practice, allowing you to focus entirely on your internal alignment, core stability, and the precision of your lower body movements without the added complexity of single-arm balance. Throughout this follow-along class, we delve deep into the mechanics of essential ballet movements.

You will begin with foundational exercises like the demi-plié and tendu, where the emphasis remains on the smooth articulation of the foot and the engagement of the inner thighs. Our instructor provides detailed technical cues to help you maximize your turnout from the hip, ensuring that every dégagé and rond de jambe is executed with professional-level clarity. The class also transitions into more intricate positions, such as coup de pied and retiré.

By maintaining two hands on the barre, you can better monitor your hip alignment and ensure your weight is centered over your supporting leg. This stability is crucial for developing the muscle memory required for more advanced combinations like soutenu or fouetté later in your training. Beyond just the physical movements, this practice emphasizes the importance of controlled breathing and posture.

You will learn how to maintain a long, elegant spine while engaging your core to support your center of gravity. Whether you are preparing for a full class or simply maintaining your technique at home, this routine offers the structured discipline needed to excel. We cover everything from the articulation of the toes to the subtle movements of the head and eyes, ensuring a holistic approach to your daily ballet ritual.
