About This Video
Celebrate the season of love with a focus on your first love: dance. This 45-minute Valentine's Day Artistry Barre at Broche Ballet is designed to transform your practice from a physical workout into a performance. While technical precision remains at the core, this session prioritizes the artistry in your movements, helping you find your unique stage presence through intentional breath and musicality.
The class begins by grounding you in the principles of adage. You will explore slow, flowing sequences where the primary goal is to synchronize your movement with your breath. This connection allows for a more relaxed upper body and a more expressive quality of movement.
We pay special attention to the sous-sus, moving beyond a simple rise to find a sweeping, melodic quality in the transition. Technical elements include a series of fondu exercises that emphasize a melting quality, followed by controlled développé and rond de jambe patterns. By engaging the glutes and inner thighs for a rock-solid foundation, you will find the freedom to explore cambré and enveloppé with grace.
The class also incorporates grand rond de jambe to challenge your range of motion while maintaining the fluidity required for artistic expression. Whether you are practicing in a home studio or a professional space, this session encourages you to connect deeply with the music. You will learn how to use phrasing to convey emotion, making every movement feel purposeful.
Join us for this uplifting and heart-centered practice as we celebrate the beauty and discipline of ballet. This class is ideal for dancers who wish to move beyond the mechanics of the steps and truly inhabit their movements. Experience the joy of dance this Valentine's Day with Broche Ballet’s signature approach to artistry and technique.
