About This Video
Welcome to a specialized session of our online training at Broche Ballet. This class, titled "Double Barre," is specifically designed for the dancer who wants to move more and talk less. In this 35-minute focused session, we prioritize high-repetition combinations that challenge your physical stamina while simultaneously refining your technical precision. By minimizing instructional breaks between exercises, we allow you to find a meditative flow and build the deep muscle memory necessary for advanced center work and performance.
The class structure follows a traditional ballet progression but with a specific focus on endurance. We begin with a grounding plié sequence to establish your turnout and core stability from the very start. Moving efficiently into tendu and dégagé exercises, you will focus on the articulation of the foot and the sharpness of the closing movements. Because this is a "Double Barre" session, the increased volume of repetitions ensures that your cardiovascular health is addressed alongside your artistic expression.
As we progress into more complex movements like développé and passé, the emphasis remains on sustained control and fluid transitions. You will practice holding a steady, lengthened arabesque and executing powerful grand battement sequences that test your active flexibility and range of motion. Throughout the video, the instructor provides essential cues, focusing on keeping the chest lifted and the supporting leg strong, ensuring that every repetition counts toward your growth as a dancer. Whether you are looking to increase your leg strength or simply want a class that feels like a continuous dance, this routine provides the perfect balance of athletic challenge and technical refinement. Join the Broche Ballet community and elevate your home practice with this high-energy barre session.
