Express Barre: Fast-Paced Ballet Workout & Technique Class

Elevate your daily practice with Express Barre, a high-intensity, abbreviated ballet session designed for the dancer who needs an efficient workout without sacrificing technical precision. In this class, Broche Ballet focuses on the dual goals of physical conditioning and mental agility. You will move quickly through a structured barre sequence that challenges your ability to pick up choreography on the fly, a vital skill for any advancing student.

The session begins with a focused warm-up to prepare the muscles before diving into faster-paced combinations including tendu and dégagé. As we progress, we explore complex movements such as grand battement, cabriole, and soutenu. A primary focus of this lesson is the integration of port de bras.

Often overlooked in quick workouts, we emphasize how a small, contained port de bras provides the necessary stability for large movements like the grand jeté and the control required for a smooth développé. You will learn to move with sharp, fast energy while maintaining the calm, controlled upper body essential for professional-level execution. Throughout the class, we provide corrections on posture and alignment, ensuring that even at an 'express' tempo, your plié and passé remain technically sound.

We also delve into the nuance of 6th attitude and the importance of 'bending between the shoulder blades' to achieve a beautiful cambré without compromising the lower back. Whether you are looking to squeeze in a workout between meetings or want to sharpen your coordination for center work, this Express Barre session provides the tools to improve your strength, flexibility, and speed of execution. Join Broche Ballet and transform your limited practice time into a powerful technical gains.
