About This Video
Join Broche Ballet for 'Fabulous 15,' an intensive 15-minute nonstop follow-along session designed specifically for dancers looking to refine their pointework. This class is perfect for those who want to maximize their training time without sacrificing technical depth. Throughout the session, your instructor will guide you through a series of exercises that challenge your stability, precision, and endurance en pointe.
The routine begins with foundational movements at the barre, including relevé passé and sus-sous, before progressing to more complex patterns. You will focus heavily on the mechanics of turnout and hip alignment, ensuring that every movement is executed with proper form from the floor up. Special attention is given to the relationship between the feet, hips, and shoulders, helping you maintain a strong center even during the most demanding transitions. Exercises like piqué passé and retiré are used to test your balance and build the strength necessary for center work.
One of the core components of this practice is developing the confidence to let go of the barre. You will learn the importance of maintaining a stable ankle and creating stillness in the body as soon as you release your support. By focusing on the placement of the toes and heels, you will gain better control over your movements, such as the petit pas de basque and tombé.
At Broche Ballet, we believe that consistent, focused practice is the key to mastery. This 'Fabulous 15' pointework class provides the structure you need to work through breath control and relaxation while maintaining the necessary muscle engagement. Whether you are looking to build foot strength or perfect your piqué transitions, this follow-along practice offers the professional feedback and encouragement needed to elevate your dance skills. Prepare to challenge your stamina and emerge with a deeper understanding of your alignment and stability en pointe.
