Elevate your ballet practice with "Fabulous 15," a high-intensity, 15-minute nonstop pointework class designed for the dedicated dancer. At Broche Ballet, we understand that mastering the art of dancing en pointe requires more than just strength—it requires stamina, precision, and an unwavering focus on technique. This follow-along practice is structured to push your limits while ensuring you maintain the integrity of your alignment and turnout throughout every exercise. By removing the breaks between combinations, this session builds the endurance necessary for longer variations and center work.
Throughout this session, we dive deep into essential ballet movements. You will practice piqué, piqué sus-sous, and soutenu, focusing on the sharp execution and controlled descent necessary for professional-level execution. The nonstop nature of the class challenges your cardiovascular endurance while forcing you to maintain a strong core and proper turnout even as fatigue sets in. We place a heavy emphasis on the transition from demi-pointe to full pointe, ensuring your weight distribution remains centered and your ankles stay stable. Practicing your relevé in this continuous format helps to solidify muscle memory in the feet and calves.
Beyond the technical drills, this class encourages you to find your own artistic voice. We incorporate elements of improvisation and embellishment, allowing you to add personal flair to your combinations. From the fluidity of adagio leg movements to the sharp precision of a coup de pied or a retiré, you will learn to balance the mechanical requirements of pointework with the grace of balletic expression. Whether you are working on your piqué relevé or perfecting your sus-sous, the instructor provides constant cues to help you refine your form and musicality. Join the Broche Ballet community and transform your pointe practice. This 15-minute challenge is perfect for busy dancers who want to squeeze in a rigorous workout that targets the feet, ankles, and calves while reinforcing the fundamental principles of classical ballet.
