About This Video
Welcome to a challenging, fast-paced advanced ballet barre session designed to refine your technique and deepen your range of motion. At Broche Ballet, we believe that advanced training requires a meticulous focus on the mechanics of every movement. This class centers on the architectural integrity of the hips, particularly during complex sequences like the grand plié and développés à la seconde.
The session begins with a comprehensive warm-up aimed at achieving maximum hip openness. You will explore the specific mechanics of the grand plié in second position, learning how to maintain low hips while driving the knees upward. This technical nuance is essential for accessing a deeper passé range and ensuring that the heels lift and return with control.
By focusing on keeping the weight centered and the hips stable, you will find greater freedom in your extensions and a more secure foundation for center work. As the class progresses, we move into dynamic battements and fluid développés. The instructor emphasizes the importance of alignment when transitioning through positions, ensuring that every movement is executed with both power and grace.
Whether you are working on your front battement or perfecting your à la seconde extensions, this barre provides the structural support needed to test your limits safely. This video is ideal for experienced dancers who want to maintain their professional edge or students transitioning into advanced levels. By integrating these high-level concepts into your daily practice, you will notice significant improvements in your flexibility, strength, and overall dance quality.
