About This Video
Elevate your daily practice with the 'Fabulous 15,' a high-intensity 15-minute nonstop pointework session designed by Broche Ballet. This class is specifically crafted for dancers who want to maximize their time at the barre while building the necessary strength and stamina for advanced en pointe work. Throughout this session, you will be guided through a series of focused exercises that prioritize technical precision, control, and fluid transitions.
The workout begins with a deliberate adagio sequence, offering variations such as stepping back into a piqué sous-sus or pulling directly up into the position to challenge your stability. As the pace quickens, you will engage in combinations featuring tombé piqué and jambe piqué, which are essential for developing the quick footwork required in classical repertoire. We also explore the intricacies of the sous-sus, focusing on the lift from a low position to a secure high point.
Whether you are working on the extension of a développé, the line of an arabesque, or the crispness of an échappé, this video provides the corrections and technical cues needed to refine your form. This nonstop format is an excellent resource for dancers looking to maintain their conditioning and improve their balance in a time-efficient manner. Join us at the barre and feel the burn as we work through these essential ballet movements to enhance your performance en pointe.
