Elevate your dancing with Fabulous 15, a high-intensity, 15-minute nonstop practice session designed specifically for dancers who want to master their pointe work. This follow-along conditioning class from Broche Ballet focuses on the intricate mechanics of the feet, ankles, and legs, providing a comprehensive workout that targets both strength and flexibility. The class begins with essential foundations, emphasizing the importance of proper posture and alignment.
You will focus on keeping your shoulders back and pressing your hips forward to create a stable core, which is crucial for maintaining balance en pointe. Throughout the 15-minute sequence, you will engage in a series of continuous movements including plié, demi-pointe, and tendu exercises. Technical precision is at the heart of this practice.
You will work through the quarter point position, a vital transitional stage between demi-pointe and full pointe that helps maintain turnout and control. The routine incorporates piqué movements and tombé transitions, challenging you to find your center quickly while changing directions. We also dive deep into the mechanics of the retiré position, ensuring your foot is correctly placed and your turnout is active.
By focusing on individual leg strength and arch engagement, this workout helps you develop the stability needed for more complex choreography. Whether you are working on your sous-sus or perfecting your pas de bourrée, the Fabulous 15 routine provides the repetitive, focused training necessary to build muscle memory and confidence. Join us at Broche Ballet to refine your technique and feel the fire in your arches as you push your pointe work to the next level.
