About This Video
Celebrate the spooky season at the barre with this high-energy Party Barre class from Broche Ballet. Led by an instructor dressed as everyone’s favorite plumber, Luigi, this 48-minute session proves that serious ballet technique and festive fun can go hand-in-hand. We dive deep into fundamental ballet movements like the tendu and passé, ensuring that your technical foundation is rock solid before moving into more dynamic, upbeat exercises. Throughout the class, we emphasize the intersection of breath and movement, reminding dancers that proper oxygenation is the key to endurance and graceful execution.
We move from these foundations into more advanced coordination with the grand battement. These large beating movements are perfect for building leg strength and core stability. You will also refine your port de bras, ensuring your arms are as expressive and controlled as your footwork. As the tempo picks up, we tackle pirouettes. Whether you are practicing your first controlled turn or refining your double, you will use the barre for support to help find your center and perfect your passé position during the rotation.
The upbeat music and video-game-inspired atmosphere keep the energy high, making even the most challenging arabesque sequences feel like a celebration. We emphasize proper alignment—keeping the knees straight and the focus pristine—to ensure every movement is executed with professional precision. This class is a testament to the Broche Ballet philosophy: that ballet should be accessible, enjoyable, and technically rigorous all at once. By blending the fun of a costume party with the discipline of the studio, you will find yourself pushing through fatigue and reaching new heights in your dance journey. Join us for this unique Halloween experience and bring some Mario-world magic to your home studio practice!
