About This Video
Elevate your ballet training with our "Fabulous 15" session, a targeted 15-minute nonstop pointework class designed by Broche Ballet. This high-intensity, follow-along workout is specifically crafted for intermediate and advanced dancers who want to increase their foot strength, stamina, and technical precision while en pointe. The class begins immediately at the barre, focusing on the essential articulation between demi-pointe and full pointe.
Starting with the right foot and repeating on the left, you will establish the necessary foundation for the more complex movements to follow. From there, the session flows seamlessly through a series of pliés, tendus, and dégagés, ensuring your ankles and arches are fully warmed up and engaged. As the pace picks up, you will tackle frappé sequences en croix to develop quick, sharp footwork.
The workout also incorporates tombé and pas de bourrée combinations, helping you find fluid transitions and weight shifts. These exercises are crucial for building the muscular endurance required for longer variations and center work. For those looking to refine their control, the adagio section offers a chance to work on développé to the front, side, and back.
You have the option to maintain two hands on the barre for stability or challenge your balance with one hand. We conclude the session with graceful cambré stretches, sous-sus balances to find your vertical alignment, and détourné turns to practice clean rotations. Whether you are looking for a quick daily supplement to your regular training or a focused foot-strengthening routine, this 15-minute class provides a comprehensive pointework experience.
