About This Video
Welcome to a comprehensive 44-minute intermediate class designed to challenge your precision and artistry. At Broche Ballet, we believe that the barre is the foundation of every dancer’s journey, and this session focuses on refining the intricate details that make a performance truly shine. This class emphasizes the development of quick footwork and sharp movements through a series of fast frappé exercises.
You will work on the clarity of your strikes and the stability of your standing leg, ensuring that every movement is executed with intentionality and power. The instructor guides you through a full barre sequence, beginning with a focused plié and moving through tendu, dégagé, and ronds de jambe. We pay special attention to proper alignment and turnout, helping you maintain a long spine and engaged core throughout the more complex combinations.
As we move into the center, you will explore various movements including passé, attitude, and the grace of an elongated allongé. The class also delves into pirouette preparation and execution, emphasizing the importance of a strong retiré and coordinated arm placement. You will learn how to transition smoothly through positions like first, second, and fourth, using pas de bourrée to connect your movements seamlessly.
Throughout the practice, the focus remains on musicality and control. Whether you are working on a sustained développé or a sharp enveloppé, the instructor provides clear feedback to help you avoid common pitfalls. By the end of this session, you will have a deeper understanding of how to use the barre for support while building the independent strength needed for center work.
Join us at Broche Ballet to refine your technique and bring more joy to your daily practice.
