About This Video
Elevate your training with this festive yet rigorous session at Broche Ballet. Our Halloween Music Double Barre class is specifically designed for dancers who want to push their physical limits while maintaining the artistry of classical dance. The 'Double Barre' format is a unique conditioning tool where simple, high-repetition combinations are performed twice.
This approach is the ultimate way to build 'ballet lungs' and muscle endurance, ensuring your alignment remains impeccable even when fatigue begins to set in. Throughout this 40-minute practice, we navigate the full spectrum of a traditional barre sequence. We start with foundational plié and tendu exercises, moving quickly into dégagé and battement work that demands sharp precision.
The instructor guides you through more complex elements such as fondu, développé, and frappé, emphasizing the importance of a stable supporting side and active turnout. The repetition allows you to refine your muscle memory, making it easier to execute rapid-fire movements and quick changes in direction with grace. As we move through rond de jambe and reach into a balanced arabesque, you will receive constant cues on posture and control.
This class is not just about the spooky soundtrack; it is a deep dive into the mechanics of movement. By focusing on the transitions between steps, you will learn to maintain a fluid quality even during the most demanding sequences. Whether you are an intermediate student looking to solidify your foundation or an advanced dancer seeking a high-intensity workout, this Broche Ballet session provides the perfect environment to grow.
Join us for a session that blends seasonal fun with serious technical development.
