Whether you are returning to the studio or looking to refine your home practice, this session offers a perfect blend of technical rigor and fluid movement.
The class begins with foundational grand pliés and tendus, establishing the grounding and alignment necessary for the more complex movements to follow. Throughout the barre, our instructor emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong upper back and engaging the core to support your posture. You will progress through a dynamic series including dégagés, coupés, and passés, focusing on using the floor to generate power and control—a vital skill for transitions and jumps.
One of the highlights of this class is the focus on adages and grand battements. These exercises are specifically designed to improve your flexibility and range of motion while fostering a strong connection between your legs and your center. You will also work on développés, ensuring that your turnout and alignment remain consistent even as the movements become more demanding. By focusing on keeping your heels up and knees down during specific transitions, you will develop the stability and balance required for professional-level execution.
Toward the end of the barre, the tempo increases to challenge your precision. You will practice pirouettes and other turns, learning how to maintain pressure on the floor to execute smooth, controlled rotations. The instructor provides constant feedback on technique, reminding you to maintain good posture and to fully extend through every movement. Join us at Broche Ballet to discover how a fast-paced, joyful approach to barre can transform your strength, control, and overall artistry.
