About This Video
Enhance your pointe work with this comprehensive intermediate class from Broche Ballet. In this session, we dive deep into the technical nuances of the rélevé passé, a foundational yet challenging movement that requires precise alignment and strength. Whether you are practicing at your home barre or in a studio, this class provides the professional guidance needed to elevate your artistry and control.
The lesson begins at the barre, where we focus on the calibration of the feet and ankles. You will work through structured exercises designed to improve your plié and ensure a clean, strong rise to full pointe. We pay special attention to the transition into sous-sus, ensuring your feet stay directly underneath your center of gravity for maximum stability.
By mastering these fundamentals, you will build the confidence to transition into more complex center combinations. As we move into the center, the focus shifts toward momentum and fluid movement. You will learn how to use soutenu and changés movements to help drive your turns and transitions like the tombé, pas de bourrée, and chassé.
The instructor provides detailed corrections on port de bras, helping you use your upper body to maintain balance and create beautiful, elongated lines. From bourrée sequences to petit allegro, every exercise is designed to challenge your movement quality and musicality. At Broche Ballet, we believe in the importance of rewarding the nervous system after hard work.
This class encourages you to push beyond your comfort zone while maintaining a focus on precision and control. By the end of this 37-minute session, you will have a better understanding of how to execute movements en pointe with grace and power. Join us to refine your technique and discover the joy of movement.
