About This Video
Step into the studio with Broche Ballet for an enchanting 28-minute session dedicated to mastering Pointe Basics. Set to a whimsical soundtrack of Disney music, this class is specifically designed to help dancers build the strength and confidence necessary to transition from beginner to intermediate levels of pointe work. The class begins at the barre, where the primary focus is on establishing proper turnout and alignment.
Maintaining a strong core and correct placement is essential for safety and aesthetics en pointe. Our instructor guides you through a series of foundational exercises, including tendu and dégagé, ensuring that every movement is executed with precision and control. As the lesson progresses, we explore more complex techniques such as piqué ballonné.
You will learn the mechanics of a sharp dégagé and how to roll through the foot to connect the heel to the calf efficiently. The instruction emphasizes keeping the feet tight during these movements to maintain balance and prevent unwanted travel. These technical nuances are what differentiate a beginner from an intermediate dancer, and this class provides the breakdown needed to master them.
The session also features a fun adagio and petit battement combination. You will practice fluid transitions using steps like passé, tombé, and chassé, all while staying perfectly in time with the music. We also work on the promenade, focusing on the subtle shifts in the heel required to rotate smoothly while maintaining a pose.
Whether you are practicing in a home studio or a professional space, this Broche Ballet lesson offers a supportive environment to refine your movement quality. By focusing on the details of steps like the piqué and bourrée, you will develop a more professional and polished dance style. Join us for this Disney-themed practice and take the next step in your pointe journey.
