Fabulous 15: 15 Minutes of Nonstop Ballet Pointework

Elevate your dancing with Fabulous 15, a high-energy, nonstop 15-minute ballet pointework session designed specifically for dancers looking to enhance their foot strength, articulation, and overall confidence en pointe. At Broche Ballet, we believe that consistent, focused practice is the key to mastering the technical demands of pointe shoes. This class moves quickly through essential exercises, ensuring your muscles stay engaged and your focus remains sharp while working at the barre.

The session begins with a targeted warm-up to prepare the feet and ankles for the work ahead. From there, we dive into a series of échappés to build explosive power and precision. You will work through multiple sets, focusing on maintaining high heels and a deep plié to facilitate a clean spring onto the platform of the shoe. We then transition into technical combinations involving sous-sus and intricate patterns of pas de bourrée. These exercises are designed to improve your weight transfer and stability. The instructor provides real-time corrections on alignment and timing, helping you master the rhythm of the counts.

As the class progresses, you will practice piqué movements traveling forward and backward. Particular attention is paid to rolling through the three-quarter pointe—a crucial skill for smooth transitions and preventing injury. You will also explore port de bras to ensure your upper body remains graceful and aligned while your legs do the heavy lifting. Finally, the class concludes with essential stretching and flexibility exercises for the feet, legs, and hips. This ensures proper recovery and maintains the long, lean lines required in classical ballet. Whether you are at home or in the studio, this routine is the perfect supplement to your regular training.
