About This Video
Are you ready to take your training to the next level? Our "Fabulous 15" session is a high-intensity, 15-minute nonstop ballet pointework class designed for dancers who want to maximize their time at the barre. At Broche Ballet, we understand that consistency is key to mastering the art of dancing en pointe, and this focused practice session provides the perfect routine to build strength, precision, and control.
Throughout this session, the instructor guides you through a rigorous series of exercises that target the fundamental mechanics of pointework. You will focus heavily on the relevé—one of the most critical movements in ballet. By practicing both slow and fast relevés, you will develop the core strength and ankle stability necessary for more complex center work.
We dive deep into the technical nuances, such as rotating the heel forward to maintain perfect turnout and learning how to properly bend the shoe by using your toenails and feet effectively against the platform. The class covers essential ballet movements including su su, bourrée, and pas de bourrée combinations. You will also work on the precision of your retiré and passé positions, ensuring that your alignment remains impeccable even during demanding double relevés.
The lesson emphasizes the transition through three-quarter pointe, helping you achieve a polished and fluid performance every time you rise. This practice isn't just about repetition; it’s about refinement. With detailed explanations and professional corrections provided throughout, you will learn how to engage your core muscles to lift the working leg rather than relying solely on your hip flexors.
Whether you are looking to improve your balance or sharpen your footwork, this 15-minute intensive will challenge your endurance and elevate your technique. Join us at Broche Ballet and transform your pointe practice today.
