This class is designed to blend the joy of classic soundtracks with rigorous technical training, making it perfect for adult dancers who want to improve their form while having fun. Throughout this session, we focus on foundational movements and advanced refinements alike, ensuring a comprehensive workout for both the body and the mind.
We begin with a thorough warm-up, moving through essential pliés and relevés to find our center and wake up the muscles. As we progress through the barre, you will be guided through detailed exercises focusing on passé and développé, emphasizing the importance of control and a strong supporting leg. Our instructor provides constant feedback on posture and alignment, ensuring that your core is engaged to support every lift and extension. By focusing on the engagement of the quads and the lift through the spine, dancers of all levels can find more stability in their practice.
One of the highlights of this class is the focus on musicality and timing. Working with familiar Disney tunes allows you to explore how to match your movements to the rhythm, especially during more complex sequences like petit battement and rapid-fire passés. We challenge your speed and accuracy, encouraging quick transitions while maintaining the elegance and precision required for classical ballet. The instructor offers specific tips for improving the connection between the floor and the body, which is vital for executing clean movements.
Whether you are working on your turnout, strengthening your sous-sus, or refining your footwork, this class offers something for every level. The session covers both sides of the barre to ensure balanced development and coordination. Broche Ballet specializes in adult learners, so the cues are specifically tailored to help you understand the mechanics behind each movement.
