About This Video
Experience a dynamic and revitalizing 43-minute session with our High-Energy All-Level Ballet Barre. This class, filmed in April 2023, is designed to challenge dancers of every background by focusing on the core principles of classical ballet technique. Throughout this session, our expert instructor at Broche Ballet leads you through a carefully curated sequence of exercises that prioritize proper alignment, turnout, and fluidity of movement.
The class begins with a comprehensive warm-up and moves through a series of foundational barre exercises. You will refine your plié and relevé, ensuring that your heels are grounded and your rise is controlled. We place a significant emphasis on the concept of being square, helping you maintain level shoulders and hips even during more complex movements like grand battement and attitude.
Coordination is a key theme of this practice. You will explore the relationship between your port de bras and your leg work, learning how to synchronize your arms to enhance your balance and expression. The lesson includes detailed instructions on executing movements such as enveloppé and développé, where we focus on the melting quality of a fondu and the strength required for a high extension.
Our instructor provides constant feedback and corrections, similar to what you would receive in a live studio setting. We address common technical challenges, such as keeping the knee back during a folding motion and maintaining a strong core to support your center of gravity. Whether you are a beginner looking to establish a solid foundation or an experienced dancer wanting to polish your technique, this barre offers something for everyone.
We conclude the session by integrating these technical elements into sequences that improve your overall flexibility and control. By the end of this 43-minute practice, you will feel more connected to your body, more aware of your posture, and energized for your next dance challenge.
