About This Video
Welcome to "Fabulous 15," a powerhouse session designed for the dedicated dancer who wants to maximize their time en pointe. In just 15 minutes, this Broche Ballet follow-along class pushes your pointework to the next level with nonstop movement designed to build endurance, strength, and technical precision. This intermediate-level session is perfect for those days when you need a quick but intensive workout to keep your feet and ankles in peak condition.
We begin at the barre, focusing on essential foot articulation. You will work through the transition from demi-pointe to full pointe, ensuring your weight is perfectly centered over the box. Proper plié technique is the foundation of this class; we emphasize the importance of pressing over the toes and maintaining a deep, controlled bend before rising to a crisp relevé.
Throughout the exercises, we focus on proper turnout and heel-toe alignment to ensure safety and aesthetic beauty. As the class progresses, the complexity increases. You will engage in tendu and jeté sequences that require sharp execution and a strong core to maintain stability.
We also delve into more advanced movements, such as the transition from a pas de basque into a piqué. This particular combination challenges your coordination and balance, requiring you to find your center quickly and hold it with confidence. Other key technical focuses include piqué sous-sus and fondu exercises, which develop the "melting" quality and power needed for center work.
Artistry remains a priority even in this fast-paced format. We provide constant reminders to keep your shoulders down and engage your core, ensuring your upper body looks effortless while your legs do the heavy lifting. By the end of this sequence, you will have worked through balance challenges and turns that test your control.
Whether you are using this as a warm-up or a standalone workout, the "Fabulous 15" provides the rigorous training necessary to excel en pointe. Join our Broche Ballet community and feel the transformation in your technique.
