About This Video
Are you short on time but craving a comprehensive workout? Welcome to the Express Ballet Barre at Broche Ballet, a jam-packed 25-minute session designed specifically for the dedicated dancer on the go. This class follows the signature "Aurora style" of instruction—meaning we focus on 100% dancing with minimal talking, allowing you to find your artistic flow and stay physically engaged from the first warm-up plié to the final graceful port de bras.
In this session, we dive deep into foundational and intermediate combinations that challenge your control and technical precision. We place a significant emphasis on the fondu, ensuring that "melting" quality is maintained throughout every repetition, even as the pace quickens. You will work through intricate rond de jambe sequences, focusing on the clarity of the movement and the specific, clean pathway of the leg through second position.
We also explore the complex relationship between the lower body and the upper body, emphasizing how a stable, quiet core and controlled port de bras can enhance your overall stability and line. " We break down how to execute a clean preparation by focusing on the second part of the movement, ensuring you are perfectly set up for the following sequence without losing your center. You will also practice "brushes" and dégagé movements, honing your ability to move the leg with light, quick energy while keeping the rest of the body still and supported.
This class isn't just about the steps; it's about the artistry of the execution. By following this nonstop format, you will build cardiovascular stamina and deep muscle memory that translates directly to center work and performance. Whether you are looking to refine your hip release during extensions or improve the height and placement of your arabesque and attitude, this 25-minute practice provides the rigor and consistency you need to see real progress.
