About This Video
Celebrate the spooky season with a unique twist on a pop culture classic. At Broche Ballet, we believe that classical technique can be the foundation for any style of performance, even a high-energy Halloween party routine. This preview showcases an original ballet choreography set to Michael Jackson’s legendary "Thriller," blending traditional steps with the iconic movements that defined an era.
In this performance piece, you will see how a dancer can transition from a sharp sauté into the character-driven "zombie" aesthetic without losing the integrity of their form. The choreography utilizes the dancer's core strength and precision, moving through various positions like arabesque and retiré with a rhythmic flair. Whether you are dancing en pointe or in flat shoes, the challenge lies in maintaining your plié for those grounded, spooky moments while keeping the lightness of ballet in your jumps.
This "Thriller" ballet fusion is perfect for dancers looking to expand their repertoire and add a bit of fun to their practice. Learning original choreography helps students at Broche Ballet develop their musicality and performance quality. By watching this preview, you’ll get a sense of how to use your hat and costume to enhance your storytelling on stage.
From the subtle tilt of the head to the sharp extension of a tendu, every movement counts when you are bringing a character to life. Are you ready to bring some "thriller" to your next ballet session? This preview is just the beginning of how we mix tradition with modern fun.
