About This Video
Welcome to this Express Ballet Barre session at Broche Ballet—a 25-minute, high-energy practice designed for the dancer on the go. This class is specifically crafted to maximize your training time without sacrificing the technical precision required for professional-level growth. In this jam-packed session, we move through a comprehensive series of exercises that challenge both your stamina and your focus.
The session begins with fundamental movements and quickly builds in complexity, ensuring a thorough warm-up for the entire body while maintaining a brisk pace. A primary focus throughout this class is the stabilization of the upper back and ribs. By engaging your core and maintaining a quiet upper body, you allow for greater freedom and precision in your leg work.
We dive deep into exercises such as rond de jambe and fondu, emphasizing the fluidity of transitions. It is not just about the positions themselves, but how you move through them that defines your artistry. We also emphasize the importance of using the floor.
During battements, you will learn to push down through the floor to find a more explosive and controlled release. This tactile engagement with the floor is essential for developing the strength needed for center work and jumps later in your practice. The pacing of this class is brisk, featuring fast switching between sides to improve your mental agility and coordination.
Whether you are squeezing in a practice between meetings or looking for a focused technical tune-up, this Express Ballet Barre provides the structure you need. We prioritize quality over quantity, encouraging you to execute every relevé and tendu with intentionality. Join us as we refine your alignment, build your physical conditioning, and deepen your understanding of classical ballet technique.
By the end of this 25-minute nonstop practice, you will feel centered, lengthened, and ready for your next dance challenge.
