About This Video
Welcome to the "Fabulous 15," a high-energy, nonstop session designed specifically for dancers looking to refine their technique en pointe. This fast-paced follow-along video from Broche Ballet focuses on building the necessary strength, control, and endurance required for advanced pointework. If you are looking to maximize your training time, this efficient routine packs a comprehensive foot workout into a quarter-hour.
We begin with essential warm-up exercises at the barre, including demi-plié and stretching to prepare the arches and ankles for the demands of the box. As we move through the routine, you will practice precise movements such as tendu, pas de cheval, and plié en pointe. These foundational steps are crucial for developing the fluid weight transfer needed for more complex combinations.
The session challenges your stability with piqué movements and sous-sus balances. We also incorporate pas de bourrée and échappé to work on speed and precision. A key focus of this practice is the transition between positions, such as moving into passé or performing a promenade at the barre to find your center of gravity.
By the end of these fifteen minutes, you will have worked through a comprehensive range of motion, from quick footwork to sustained balances. Whether you are prepping for a full class or just need a quick daily pointework burn, this routine is an excellent addition to your training schedule. Let's get en pointe and start dancing!
