About This Video
In this dynamic session from Broche Ballet, we invite you to experience the 'Double Barre'—a practice method specifically designed for the dancer who wants less talking and more moving. This class focuses on simple, high-repetition combinations that challenge your physical conditioning and refine your technical precision. By performing each side of the routine twice, you allow your body to build deep muscle memory, ensuring that every movement becomes more fluid and controlled with each pass.
Our Double Barre routine covers a comprehensive range of fundamental ballet movements. You will work through deep grand pliés to find your center, engage your core for stable arabesques, and sharpen your footwork with crisp battements. The emphasis here is on the quality of execution and sustained effort.
We focus on maintaining a straight knee during extensions, securing the upper back during side-to-side transitions, and utilizing proper breathing techniques to sustain energy throughout the practice. Whether you are looking to increase your stamina or perfect your body alignment, this class provides the structure you need. The instructor provides essential cues for posture and control without interrupting the rhythmic flow of the dance.
It’s an ideal way to bridge the gap between technical study and athletic performance. By the end of this session, you will feel the burn of a thorough workout while having polished the minute details of your ballet technique. Perfect for intermediate dancers looking to solidify their foundation, this class is your go-to for a focused, athletic barre session.
