About This Video
Elevate your training with this 51-minute Fast-paced and Fun Intermediate Ballet Barre from Broche Ballet. Designed for students who have a solid grasp of fundamental technique, this session focuses on the intersection of speed, power, and artistic expression. The class structure guides you through a comprehensive series of exercises that challenge your coordination and stamina while emphasizing the grace essential to classical dance.
Throughout the practice, our instructor provides detailed technical corrections to help you refine your form. You will start with focused plié and tendu work, building the necessary warmth for more complex movements. A major focus of this session is the mechanics of the relevé. You will learn how the intentional action of pushing the toes down into the floor should propel you upward onto demi-pointe, a vital skill for both stability and the explosive power required for grand allegro jumps.
As the tempo picks up, the class moves into dynamic dégagé and rond de jambe sequences. We dive deep into the execution of the grand battement, focusing on the feeling of 'soaring' while maintaining a stable supporting side and engaged core. For those working on their turns, the class includes specific preparations for en dedans pirouettes, emphasizing a sharp pull into passé and controlled momentum.
Postural integrity is at the heart of this Broche Ballet practice. The instructor constantly reminds you to keep your shoulders down and your spine elongated, ensuring you maintain a professional line even during the most demanding fast-paced footwork. Whether you are looking to build strength for big jumps or improve your precision in center transitions, this intermediate barre provides the tools you need to reach the next level in your ballet journey. By focusing on the push from the floor and the control of the upper body, you will finish this class feeling stronger, faster, and more technically secure.
