About This Video
Elevate your practice with this comprehensive 69-minute intermediate ballet class from Broche Ballet. This session is meticulously designed to bridge the gap between foundational movements and the technical precision required for advanced center work. Throughout the class, you will explore a variety of complex combinations focusing on rond de jambe en l'air, graceful adage sequences, and the technical nuances of en dedans pirouettes.
The lesson begins at the barre, where we establish the necessary turnout and core engagement through intentional tendu and port de bras exercises. These initial movements set the stage for the more demanding center work to follow. A primary focus of this class is the execution of turns.
You will receive expert tips on maintaining a smooth and balanced movement path during a pirouette, emphasizing the crucial role of leg positioning and alignment. In the center, we delve into the mechanics of the swivel pivot, a technique that significantly enhances the quality and fluidity of your rotations. The instructor provides detailed guidance on the combination of piqué arabesque, failli, and lunge, teaching you how to transition between these elements with grace and control.
You will learn how the twist of the back foot into an arabesque port de bras creates a seamless flow, and why flipping the toes as you reach the allongé is vital for maintaining balance. Whether you are working on your en dehors or en dedans turns, this class offers the technical breakdown needed to master complex patterns. From refining your retiré position to perfecting the timing of your plié, every detail is covered to help you perform with confidence.
