About This Video
Elevate your daily practice with this fast-paced all-level ballet barre class at Broche Ballet. This session is meticulously designed to bridge the gap between foundational technique and the athletic speed required for more advanced combinations. Whether you are a beginner looking to push your boundaries or an experienced dancer seeking a crisp, efficient warm-up, this class offers the perfect blend of technical rigor and fluid movement.
The class begins with essential plié and port de bras work, setting the stage for proper alignment and breath control. As we progress through the exercises, the focus shifts to the precision of the feet and legs. We explore transitions in the à la seconde position, ensuring that every movement is anchored by a strong core.
One of the highlights of this session is the specific focus on the grand battement. You will learn how to execute these high leg kicks with a short but punchy motion, emphasizing the explosive energy required without sacrificing the stability of the standing leg. Throughout the class, we dive deep into the mechanics of the développé and passé, emphasizing the lift from the inner thighs and the maintenance of a square pelvis.
You will also practice transitions like the pas de bourrée and sous-sus, which are critical for developing fluid footwork. Proper posture is never sidelined; we constantly remind you to anchor your standing heel, especially when moving to the front, to maintain a solid base. By focusing on these technical nuances, you will build the muscle memory needed for more complex center work.
This class is about refining your artistry through precise placement and intentional engagement of the legs, hips, and lower back. Join Broche Ballet for this comprehensive barre session and feel the difference in your strength and flexibility.
