About This Video
Take your pointe work into the center with this focused intermediate session from Broche Ballet. This class transitions away from the barre to help dancers develop the strength and balance required for fluid center sequences. Our primary focus is on the mechanics of the piqué, specifically the technique of rolling down from piqué arabesque and piqué passé.
Mastering the descent is just as important as the initial rise, and we dive deep into the specific muscle engagements needed for a controlled landing. We will explore how to use the push of the standing leg and the lift of the back leg to maintain a centered weight distribution and elongated lines. The lesson also incorporates essential tendu front checks, emphasizing the aesthetics of a beautiful wing shape and proper alignment.
Dancers will practice tombé movements and pas de bourrée sequences, focusing on the coordination between the feet and the upper body. By combining these steps into a cohesive routine set to music, you will improve your timing and artistry. Whether you are working on your piqué turns or refining your final curtsy, this class provides the technical breakdown and encouragement necessary to excel in your pointe journey.
