About This Video
Step into the studio for a rigorous, fast-paced 65-minute Advanced Ballet Barre and Center class designed for the dedicated dancer. At Broche Ballet, we believe in the power of professional-level training to transform your artistry and technical execution. This session is meticulously structured to challenge your stamina while honing the fine details that define advanced ballet technique.
The class begins at the barre, where we move through a well-rounded sequence of exercises from pliés to grands battements. Our focus remains on the precision behind the movement, ensuring that every tendu and dégagé serves to build the core stability required for complex center work. A particular highlight of the barre section is our work on soutenu turns, where we emphasize the quick transfer of weight and the immediate activation of the working leg to achieve a seamless finish.
As we transition to the center, the pace quickens. You will engage in choreographed routines that demand both physical control and mental focus. We dive into the mechanics of double piqué turns, coaching you to maintain continuous motion without breaking the line.
We also explore the grace of the balancé and the strength needed for a sustained, high arabesque. Throughout these movements, the instructor provides detailed feedback on port de bras, encouraging dancers to find length through allongé and maintain relaxed, open shoulders for a truly expressive performance. Balance and weight distribution are the recurring themes of this lesson.
Whether you are executing a sharp tombé or a delicate developpé, you will learn how to engage your core and find your center of gravity. This class is not just about the steps; it is about the discipline and etiquette of ballet, concluding with a formal révérence to honor the craft. Join Broche Ballet for this comprehensive practice and take your dancing to the next level.
