About This Video
Refine your dancing from the ground up with this "Deep Dive" into fundamental ballet technique at the barre. At Broche Ballet, we believe that mastery of the basics is the key to artistic growth. This 25-minute follow-along session is designed for dancers who crave a slow, meditative pace, allowing for an intense focus on the minute details of every movement.
You will be guided through essential exercises emphasizing proper turnout, skeletal alignment, and muscular engagement. The class explores the nuances of positions such as coupé and passé, challenging you to maintain height and stability through the hip joint and pelvic floor. By slowing down the tempo, you can identify and correct habits in your plié and sur le cou-de-pied, ensuring your weight is centered and your core is fully supportive.
Beyond the technical movements, we incorporate targeted stretches for the hamstrings and lower back, helping to release tension and improve your overall range of motion. Whether you are a beginner looking to build a solid foundation or an advanced dancer wanting to clean up your technique, this session offers the space to focus on the "how" and "why" of ballet. We emphasize evenness, balance, and control, encouraging you to prioritize quality over quantity.
Join us at the barre to deepen your understanding of ballet mechanics and find a new level of mindfulness in your practice.
