About This Video
Elevate your technique with our 'Fabulous 15' ballet pointe session, a high-energy, 15-minute nonstop workout designed to build strength and refinement. At Broche Ballet, we believe that consistent, focused practice is the key to mastering the art of dancing en pointe. This class is specifically structured to challenge your stamina while maintaining a rigorous focus on proper foot alignment and technical precision.
The session begins with a series of controlled adagio exercises to warm up the intrinsic muscles of the feet. You will work through essential movements such as demi-plié and dégagé, ensuring that every transition is executed with grace and control. The instructor provides invaluable cues, such as using the sound of the shoe hitting the floor as a timing mechanism to keep the ankle fully stretched.
This attention to detail helps prevent misalignment and ensures a strong, aesthetic line throughout your practice. As the tempo increases, you will transition into faster allegro combinations. We incorporate challenging steps including pas de cheval, pas de chat, and sous-sus to test your balance and agility.
Proper placement in seconde and sharp coupé movements are emphasized to help you develop the muscle memory required for more advanced variations. Beyond the physical steps, this video addresses the holistic needs of a dancer. You will learn about the importance of stretching tight calves and the back of the legs to maintain flexibility and prevent injury.
We also touch upon pointe shoe maintenance and the necessity of a proper fit to provide the support needed for high-intensity work. Whether you are preparing for a performance or simply looking to improve your daily practice, this follow-along routine offers the structure and guidance you need to succeed. Join us at Broche Ballet and discover the difference 15 minutes of dedicated pointe work can make in your training journey.
