"Fabulous 15" - 15 Minutes of Nonstop Ballet Pointe Conditioning

Elevate your pointework with the "Fabulous 15," an intensive 15-minute follow-along conditioning class designed specifically for the dedicated dancer. At Broche Ballet, we understand that strong, articulate feet are the foundation of beautiful dancing. This session focuses on building the muscular endurance and ankle stability required to move with grace and power en pointe. Throughout the class, you will engage in a series of nonstop exercises that target the intrinsic muscles of the feet and the larger muscle groups of the lower legs.

The curriculum begins with essential foot articulation, emphasizing the importance of rolling through demi-pointe to reach a full flat position. You will work through foundational sequences including plié, tendu, and plié relevé to ensure proper alignment and weight distribution. As the tempo increases, the workout introduces more complex movements such as sus-sous, cou-de-pied, and pas de bourrée. These transitions are crucial for developing the fluid connectivity needed for advanced center work.

In addition to strength, this class focuses on the artistry of adagio. You will practice controlled movements like plié en pointe and stretch sequences, often integrated with graceful port de bras to maintain a full-body connection. We also dive into dynamic combinations involving échappé and dégagé à la seconde to improve your speed and precision. Whether you use this as a pre-class warmup or a standalone strength session, the "Fabulous 15" provides the rigorous training necessary to refine your technique and find your balance. Join our Broche Ballet community and feel the difference that consistent, targeted pointe conditioning makes in your practice.
