About This Video
Welcome to a comprehensive intermediate ballet session at Broche Ballet, designed to challenge your technique and elevate your artistry. This 71-minute full class offers a deep dive into the foundational and complex movements that define classical ballet, transitioning seamlessly from a rigorous barre to dynamic center work. Our instructor guides you through a curriculum that prioritizes precision, helping you find the balance between strength and grace in every movement.
The lesson begins with a focused warm-up at the barre, where we emphasize proper alignment and muscle engagement. You will progress through traditional exercises, including deep pliés, precise tendus, and sharp dégagés. These foundational movements are crucial for building the stability required for more advanced combinations. As we move through the barre, the instructor provides detailed feedback on port de bras and cambré, ensuring that your upper body remains fluid and expressive while your lower body maintains its grounded strength. We also incorporate relevé work to strengthen the ankles and prepare for center work.
In the center, the focus shifts to balance and coordination. We tackle complex combinations featuring tombé and piqué movements, designed to improve your weight transfer and spatial awareness. A significant portion of the class is dedicated to pirouettes, where you will learn to find your center and execute clean, controlled rotations. The instructor breaks down these turns, offering cues for better spotting and core engagement. You will also practice the balancé and fouetté, developing the rhythm and timing essential for intermediate-level performance.
To conclude, the class features a graceful sequence of pas de bourrée and ends with a traditional révérence. This final bow is more than just a formal closing; it is a moment to acknowledge your hard work and the tradition of ballet. Whether you are practicing at home or in a studio, this class provides the professional guidance needed to refine your skills.
