Fabulous 15: Intense Ballet Pointe Conditioning and Technique

Elevate your training with the Fabulous 15, a high-intensity, follow-along ballet conditioning class specifically designed for pointe work. At Broche Ballet, we believe that consistency is the key to mastering the intricacies of dancing en pointe. This 17-minute session is packed with nonstop exercises that challenge your endurance, refine your technique, and build the foundational strength required for complex center work.

The class begins at the barre with a focused warm-up, utilizing plié and relevé to establish proper alignment and core engagement from the very first movement. Our instructor provides detailed feedback on maintaining a neutral pelvis and relaxed shoulders, ensuring that your energy is directed efficiently through your legs and feet. As we progress, you will work through a series of exercises including fondu, sus-sous, and retiré, focusing on the critical moment of connecting with the supporting leg immediately after a relevé.

Beyond basic strength, this session dives into specialized drills like the 'wheelie' to enhance ankle stability and foot articulation. You will practice transitions like the piqué and balancé, learning how to generate power from the floor while maintaining a calm, stable upper body. The final portion of the class is dedicated to balance and stability, offering guidance on how to find your equilibrium en pointe even during transitions. Whether you are looking to improve your footwork or gain more confidence in your pointe shoes, this repetition-based practice is an essential addition to your weekly routine. Join us at Broche Ballet and transform your technique through focused, professional instruction.
