About This Video
Elevate your training with the "Fabulous 15," a high-energy, nonstop 15-minute ballet practice designed specifically for dancers working en pointe. Whether you are pressed for time or looking for a powerful supplemental routine to add to your daily schedule, this session with Broche Ballet focuses on the essential mechanics of the feet and ankles to improve your stability and grace. The class begins with a rigorous focus on articulation.
You will work through detailed movements like tendus, fondus, and coupés to ensure every part of the foot is engaged and warm. We emphasize the "scooping" action of the foot and the importance of a controlled demi-pointe to build the necessary foundation for secure pointework. Strengthening is at the heart of this routine.
Through a series of relevés and sous-sous, you will challenge your ankle stability and vertical alignment. The instructor guides you through more complex combinations including échappés and passés, ensuring your turnout remains active and your placement stays centered over the box. By isolating foot movement from the hip, you will develop the refined control required for advanced variations and center work.
Using the barre for support, this practice allows you to push your limits safely. From pliés that cushion your landings to tombés that test your weight transfer, these fifteen minutes are packed with technical cues and professional insights. This follow-along class is an efficient way to build the endurance and precision needed to excel en pointe.
Join us at Broche Ballet and feel the difference that 15 minutes of focused, intentional practice can make for your technique.
