About This Video
Welcome to a unique session at Broche Ballet designed for those who want to move more and talk less. Our Double Barre class focuses on high-repetition, simple combinations that challenge your physical stamina while allowing you to sink deep into the artistry of the movement. This 41-minute class is structured to keep you moving, using repetition as a tool to build muscle memory and cardiovascular endurance without the distraction of complex choreography.
Throughout the session, we explore fundamental movements including port de bras, allongé, and adagio sequences. By stripping away lengthy explanations, we create space for you to focus on the nuances of your technique. You will work through rigorous relevé exercises to strengthen your calves and ankles, and engage in controlled développé and arabesque movements to improve your active flexibility and core stability. The high-repetition nature of the 'Double Barre' format ensures that by the second or third time through a combination, your body finds its natural alignment and flow.
In addition to the physical challenge, this class emphasizes the grace of port de bras d'ensemble and the fluidity of transitions. We take time for adagio to help you find breath and control, ensuring that even as you fatigue, your form remains impeccable. Whether you are looking to build the strength required for longer variations or simply want a barre workout that feels like a continuous dance, this class provides the perfect balance of athleticism and elegance. Join us to refine your passé, perfect your line, and celebrate the joy of movement with the Broche Ballet community.
