About This Video
Join Broche Ballet for an extensive, 64-minute session designed to solidify your foundations. This In-Depth Beginner Barre + Center class is perfect for dancers who want to move beyond the basics and focus on the nuances of technique. We begin at the barre, establishing a strong sense of posture and alignment that will carry you through the entire lesson.
Our instructor guides you through essential exercises, starting with tendu and dégagé, emphasizing the brush through the floor to build foot strength. You will explore the développé devant, learning how to maintain a stable standing hip while extending the leg with grace and control. The class places a significant emphasis on port de bras, particularly the allongé and round port de bras movements.
You will learn to lift from the back and maintain soft, relaxed arms to create a truly professional line. As we transition into the center, the focus shifts to coordination and fluid transitions. You will practice the fondu pas de bourrée, learning to melt into the movement without getting caught up in the complexity of the footwork.
We also delve into the arabesque, focusing on the lift of the upper body and the length of the line. Throughout the class, the instructor provides detailed corrections to help you find more breath and ease in your dancing. The session concludes with a traditional révérence, allowing you to find a sense of grace and completion.
Whether you are an adult beginner or an experienced dancer looking to refine your technical clarity, this class offers the tools you need to dance with confidence. At Broche Ballet, we believe that understanding the mechanics behind every movement is the key to artistic growth. Clear some space at your home barre and join us for this comprehensive practice.
