Fabulous 15: 15-Minute Nonstop Ballet Pointe Work Class

Push your limits with the Broche Ballet 'Fabulous 15' nonstop pointe work session. This 15-minute intensive is specifically designed to help intermediate and advanced dancers build the necessary stamina, strength, and precision for professional-level execution en pointe. In this high-energy, follow-along practice, the instructor leads you through a series of exercises designed to refine foot placement, alignment, and overall technical control.

The class begins with essential foot strengthening exercises, focusing on slow and deliberate movements to build control before moving into more rapid sequences. You will practice dégagé movements to the front and side, emphasizing a stretched foot and maintaining a consistent shape throughout. As the pace picks up, you'll move into relevé passé and sous-sus, where maintaining a strong core and engaging the muscles of the legs and hips are critical for maintaining balance.

One of the core focuses of this session is the connection between the feet and the floor. You will work through échappé and soutenu movements, learning how to use proper footwork and alignment when executing turns and rapid changes of direction. Throughout the class, emphasis is placed on keeping the heels and toes in line to prevent rolling and ensure safety en pointe.

The practice concludes with sequences that challenge your coordination and stability, including promenade movements. By the end of this nonstop 15-minute session, you will have worked on every aspect of your pointe technique, from fundamental footwork to complex center movements. Whether you're looking for a quick, focused workout or a challenging 'finisher' for your regular class routine, Broche Ballet's Fabulous 15 provides the structure and intensity you need to elevate your dance practice. Focus on precision, maintain your alignment, and build the endurance required for beautiful pointe work.
