Express Barre: Fast-Paced Ballet Technique & Holiday Fun

Welcome to a festive and efficient training session with Broche Ballet! Our Express Barre class is designed for the dancer on the go, packing a comprehensive technique workout into a condensed timeframe. This session captures the holiday spirit with a cheerful Christmas soundtrack and even a special guest appearance by Otis the greyhound.

Don’t let the "express" title fool you; this workout is rigorous and fast-paced, ensuring every muscle group is engaged through a series of focused combinations. We begin with a traditional plié sequence to warm up the joints before transitioning into detailed footwork. Throughout the class, you will focus on the precision of your tendu and dégagé, emphasizing crisp closures and proper alignment.

The instructor provides constant cues to 'lift tall' and 'be taller than your leg,' reminding you that core engagement is the secret to effortless leg extensions and stability. The class progresses through fluid rond de jambe movements and challenging développé combinations that require immense control. As the tempo picks up, we tackle grand battement to build power and flexibility without sacrificing form.

One of the highlights of this session is the focus on musicality; you are encouraged to let your legs 'sing' with the music, turning a standard technical drill into a piece of artistic expression. The workout concludes with a final combination that mirrors the opening sequences, allowing you to feel the improvement in your placement and strength from start to finish. Whether you are squeezing in a practice during a busy week or looking for a high-energy holiday warm-up, this Express Barre provides the perfect balance of technical rigor and seasonal joy.
