Fabulous 15: 15-Minute Nonstop Follow-Along Pointework

Elevate your ballet technique with our 'Fabulous 15' pointework session. This 15-minute, nonstop follow-along class is designed to push your stamina and refine your precision while en pointe. At Broche Ballet, we believe that consistent practice is the key to mastering the intricacies of pointe shoes, and this focused workout provides exactly the structure you need to build confidence.

Throughout this session, we dive deep into essential ballet movements. You will work through a series of exercises starting with fundamental demi-pliés and relevés to warm up the metatarsals and ankles. As the tempo picks up, the class moves into tendus and fondus, challenging your stability and alignment. One of the primary focuses of this class is single-leg balancing. By sustaining positions like passé or cou-de-pied, you will build the core and lower body strength necessary for more complex center work and variations.

We also pay close attention to the mechanics of the piqué. You will learn the importance of fully stretching the knee and maintaining a firm foot inside the shoe to ensure a secure 'piqué and roll' back to the floor. The class transitions into more dynamic footwork, including sous-sus and pas de bourrée, where we emphasize quick weight shifts and maintaining a tight fifth position.

Whether you are practicing at home or in a studio, this video serves as a comprehensive tool to improve your footwork consistency. By focusing on the fine details—such as the turnout in a retiré or the crispness of a dégagé—you will transform your pointework from basic movements into fluid artistry. Join us for 15 minutes of dedicated effort and feel the difference in your strength and control en pointe.
