About This Video
Elevate your ballet practice with Broche Ballet’s "Fabulous 15" session, a high-intensity workout designed to challenge your endurance. This intensive 15-minute follow-along class is crafted specifically for dancers looking to build significant stamina and refined strength en pointe. In this nonstop session, we transition efficiently between foundational exercises and complex sequences, ensuring your feet, ankles, and calves receive the deep conditioning required for professional-level performance.
The workout begins with a focused warm-up at the barre, where we emphasize proper alignment and articulation through controlled plié and relevé patterns. By establishing a strong connection to the floor early on, you set the stage for more demanding movements. As the tempo increases, the instructor guides you through a series of échappé and sous-sus exercises that demand core engagement and precise foot placement.
These movements are essential for developing the power needed to rise and lower with grace. Intermediate and advanced dancers will particularly benefit from the adagio and balance sections of the class. We dive deep into the mechanics of passé and arabesque, teaching you how to find your center even when fatigue begins to set in.
You will also practice fluid transitions like the enveloppé and balancé, focusing on how to maintain turnout and a lifted posture throughout. The class also incorporates the pas de bourrée, helping you master rhythmic changes and weight transfers while remaining high on your platform. At Broche Ballet, we believe that consistent, focused practice is the key to mastery.
This video serves as a perfect daily supplement to your regular training, offering a quick yet thorough way to refine your technique. The instructor provides constant feedback on movement quality, encouraging you to listen to your body while pushing your limits. By the end of this 15-minute session, you will feel more confident, stable, and strong en pointe.
