About This Video
Step into the virtual studio with Broche Ballet for an invigorating 41-minute advanced ballet barre. This session is specifically designed for experienced dancers who wish to push their technical boundaries through fast-paced combinations and intricate footwork. Our expert instructor leads you through a comprehensive sequence that demands both physical stamina and mental focus, ensuring every movement is executed with professional-level precision.
A primary focus of this class is the technical relationship between the fondu and the cabriole. By utilizing the third attitude swing as a preparation, you will learn how to land and envelop with grace, a skill essential for powerful and fluid center work. We dive deep into the mechanics of the legs, ensuring that your weight placement and muscular engagement are optimized for more complex allegro steps later in your practice.
Precision in piqué movements is another highlight of this practice. You will explore the importance of maintaining a slight tilt rather than a tuck, ensuring optimal alignment and balance during piqué turns. This technical nuance is particularly critical during the 'Alexandra combination,' where timing and stability are paramount. We emphasize the concept of 'riding' the movement before the turn to maintain total control of your center. Throughout the lesson, the instructor provides detailed feedback on maintaining a quiet upper body while executing high-energy grand battement and piqué coordination. Join us at Broche Ballet to refine your artistry, improve your balance, and build the strength required for advanced performance.
