About This Video
Welcome to this high-energy 'Extra Sweaty' All-Level Ballet Barre class from Broche Ballet. Designed for dancers who want to feel the burn while refining their technique, this session provides a comprehensive 42-minute workout that balances strength, flexibility, and classical artistry. This class is perfect for those days when you want to work hard and see real progress in your physical conditioning and ballet fundamentals.
Throughout the lesson, our instructor guides you through a sequence of traditional exercises including plié, tendu, and dégagé, with a specific focus on maintaining a strong, controlled spine. The 'sweaty' nature of this class comes from the continuous engagement of the core and the deliberate flow between movements. You will work through challenging combinations like rond de jambe and fondu, where the emphasis remains on precision, brushing the floor correctly, and extending the leg with grace.
As we move into more advanced movements like développé and grand battement, you will learn to manage your weight and alignment to achieve higher extensions without sacrificing posture. The session also includes dedicated time for stretching forward, backward, and to the sides, ensuring your muscles remain long and limber. Whether you are a beginner looking to build stamina or an experienced dancer seeking a vigorous maintenance routine, this class encourages you to add your own flair and expression to every movement. Join us at the barre and experience how Broche Ballet makes professional-level instruction accessible for your home practice.
