About This Video
Take your pointe work to the next level with this intermediate ballet barre designed to emphasize fluid movement and technical precision. At Broche Ballet, we believe that dancing en pointe is not just about strength, but about finding the grace and flow within every exercise. In this 30-minute practice, you will be guided through a series of combinations that challenge your stability while encouraging a sense of musicality and drama.
We begin by establishing a strong foundation with tendu and plié, ensuring that the feet are properly warmed up for the demands of pointe shoes. As the class progresses, we move into more complex sequences involving fondu, enveloppé, and développé. You will learn how to maintain a consistent rhythm and how to use the plié effectively to prepare for movements like the fouetté.
One of the highlights of this class is the focus on the tombé and promenade. By lengthening the leg out à la seconde and finding a deep plié before rising, you will build the necessary control for sustained center work. The instructor provides detailed feedback on alignment, reminding students to keep the core engaged and the energy extending through the fingertips and toes.
Throughout the session, we revisit the importance of symmetry, repeating combinations on both sides to ensure balanced development. Whether you are working on your arabesque or refining your transition through passé, this flowy barre will help you feel more confident and expressive in your pointe shoes. This practice is perfect for those who want to move beyond basic mechanics and truly feel the dance in their pointe work.
Join Broche Ballet for this encouraging and technically rigorous class, and discover how a focused barre can transform your overall performance and strength.
