About This Video
Achieving a perfect line in ballet begins with a stable foundation: the pelvis. In this Deep Dive session at Broche Ballet, we transition from basic movements to high-level technical precision. This 25-minute class is specifically designed for dancers who crave slow, meditative, and detailed training to refine their posture and placement.
We focus heavily on the relationship between pelvic placement and the supporting leg, particularly during challenging positions like arabesque. The lesson begins by addressing the common issue of hip tilting. Through a series of tendu and relev exercises, you will learn to maintain a neutral pelvis, ensuring your spine is elongated and your core is engaged.
This is crucial for preventing injuries and achieving the aesthetic grace required in classical ballet. We explore the intricacies of coup de pied and rond de jambe, emphasizing how subtle shifts in the hip can make or break your alignment. A highlight of this practice is the specific focus on arabesque.
Many dancers struggle with sitting in their hips or arching the lower back excessively. By practicing controlled pli and relev movements, you will build the muscular memory needed to keep the hips square and level. The instructor guides you through envelopp and pass transitions, teaching you how to monitor your alignment in real-time.
Whether you are working at the barre or preparing for center work, these foundational corrections will transform your technique and confidence. Join us at Broche Ballet to deepen your understanding of your body's mechanics and elevate your dance practice through mindful, detailed movement.
