15-Minute "Fabulous 15" Follow-Along Ballet Pointe Conditioning Routine

Elevate your pointework with Broche Ballet’s "Fabulous 15" routine, a dedicated 15-minute conditioning session designed to build the strength, precision, and endurance required for dancing en pointe. This fast-paced, follow-along class targets the intricate muscles of the arches and toes, ensuring every movement is executed with professional-level control. Throughout the session, you will engage in a series of targeted exercises at the barre.

We begin with a foundational warm-up of demi-plié and tendu to prepare the ankles for the work ahead. From there, the routine intensifies, incorporating temps lié and enveloppés. A major focus of this workout is the "Fabulous Feet" sequence, which includes pas de cheval and tendu devant, challenging your ability to maintain turnout while shifting weight between positions.

One of the highlights of this practice is the échappé tempo section. Here, you will work on quick transitions and finding your center in balance exercises, specifically focusing on fourth and second positions. We emphasize proper alignment—keeping the back ankle tilted correctly and shimmying the heels forward to find a secure fifth position.

Precision is key in this workout. In movements like petit développé, we focus on keeping the knees slightly bent and minimizing weight shifts to isolate the working leg. Whether you are preparing for a performance or simply looking to improve your daily pointe practice, this routine provides a concentrated burst of conditioning that will leave your feet feeling strong and your technique feeling sharp.
