About This Video
Elevate your technical proficiency with this intensive 48-minute Power Barre session, specifically designed by Broche Ballet to prepare your body for the rigors of jumps and turns. This class moves beyond standard repetitions to focus on the explosive power, speed, and precision required for advanced center work. By integrating challenging combinations like plié relevé en croix and the demanding grand battement relevé en croix, you will build the specific muscular endurance and ankle stability necessary for high-level performance.
Throughout this session, we emphasize the bridge between barre and center. The inclusion of grand battement from a relevé position is a sophisticated exercise that forces the dancer to find their center of gravity quickly while maintaining the height and line of the leg. We also delve into foot articulation through tendu and flex exercises, ensuring that every movement is grounded in correct alignment and turn-out. The class is designed to push your cardiovascular limits while maintaining the grace and poise essential to the ballet aesthetic.
Our instructor guides you through each sequence with a focus on upper body stability and coordination. You will learn how to maintain a calm, quiet torso even as the legs perform rapid, powerful movements. This holistic approach ensures that your power comes from a place of control rather than tension. Key technical areas covered include the transition from demi-pointe to full height, maintaining leg height during relevé transitions, and executing step-over turns with confidence. Whether you are preparing for your first allegro class or looking to sharpen your existing skills, this Power Barre offers the technical depth and physical challenge needed to reach your next breakthrough.
