About This Video
Elevate your training with Broche Ballet's Express Barre, a high-energy session designed specifically for the dancer on the move. In this 28-minute class, we dive straight into an abbreviated, extra-fast format that prioritizes both physical conditioning and mental agility. If you have ever struggled to pick up choreography quickly during a center combination or a performance, this fast-paced barre is the perfect environment to sharpen those cognitive and physical skills.
The class structure moves swiftly through essential exercises, beginning with dynamic pliés and sharp tendus. We emphasize the "express" nature of the movements, encouraging you to find your alignment and core stability instantly. As we transition into dégagés and fondus, the instructor focuses on quick changes in direction and precise weight placement, which are vital for intermediate and advanced ballet technique.
The goal is to maintain a high level of artistry while moving through the counts with efficiency and grace. One of the core components of this workout is the specialized focus on passé and pirouette preparation. You will learn why bending the knee quickly and accurately is the secret to a successful passé, and how that translates into more controlled pirouettes in various directions, including movements en dedans.
We also explore the fluidity of développé movements, ensuring that even at a faster tempo, the extension and turnout of the leg are never compromised. Throughout the session, Broche Ballet provides professional corrections on standing shoulder alignment and engagement. By maintaining a strong, quiet upper body, you can navigate the quick transitions and complex counts with much more ease.
This upbeat and supportive class is more than just a workout; it is a technical study in efficiency. Join us at the barre today to refine your technique with speed, power, and precision.
