About This Video
Welcome to a high-energy, high-intensity session at Broche Ballet designed for the dancer who wants to skip the long explanations and get straight into the movement. Our 'Speed Barre' series is specifically crafted to bridge the gap between technical study and the fluid athleticism required for center work. In this extra challenging edition, we prioritize a continuous flow, forcing you to rely on your muscle memory and core stability while maintaining the elegance of classical ballet.
The class begins with a series of deep pliés and sharp tendus that set the tempo for the rest of the workout. Because there is less instruction, you must stay mentally sharp, anticipating the next move and maintaining proper alignment without constant verbal reminders. We move quickly into dégagés and piqués, challenging your ability to find your axis and hold your turnout at a faster pace than a traditional class. The sequence includes complex combinations featuring coupé, passé, and retiré, requiring precise footwork and quick weight transfers.
Strength and flexibility are tested further as we integrate fondu and arabesque into the flow. The instructor emphasizes pulling with the inner thighs and engaging the core throughout every transition, ensuring that even at high speeds, your technique remains uncompromised. You will also work through balancé and grand battement sequences that require explosive power and control. By the end of this 37-minute session, you will have worked through a complete barre that builds cardiovascular endurance alongside traditional ballet strength. This class is an excellent tool for intermediate and advanced students looking to refine their stamina and technical precision in a professional-style environment. Stay hydrated, focus on your breath, and prepare to push your limits with Broche Ballet.
