About This Video
Take your pointe work to the next level with this comprehensive 44-minute intermediate class from Broche Ballet. This session is specifically designed for dancers who are ready to transition from stable barre exercises to more fluid movement in the center. The core focus of this class is mastering the mechanics of turns, particularly the pirouette.
Throughout the lesson, our instructor emphasizes the critical "down-up" motion necessary to generate power and maintain consistency during rotations. By integrating a deep plié before a sharp relevé, you will learn how to harness momentum effectively while keeping your core engaged. We start at the barre with one hand to establish balance and proper form before moving into center work.
You will practice essential positions such as arabesque and passé, ensuring that every transition is executed with precision. The class also covers tombé and bourrée sequences to improve your footwork and rhythm. Developing a strong connection between your legs and core is vital for executing turns with control.
Whether you are working on a single pirouette or striving for multiple rotations, this class provides the technical breakdown needed to enhance your performance. You will explore how to use the floor for power, focusing on the feeling of intensity and rhythm within the body. By the end of this session, you will have a better understanding of how to maintain your center of gravity while moving dynamically en pointe.
Join us at Broche Ballet as we refine your posture, increase your turn consistency, and build the confidence needed for advanced center work.
