About This Video
Elevate your pointe technique with this comprehensive 45-minute intermediate class from Broche Ballet. Designed for dancers who have already established a solid foundation en pointe, this session bridges the gap between foundational barre work and complex center combinations. We begin with a structured barre sequence focusing on precision in tendu, plié, and soutenu.
These exercises are essential for warming up the intrinsic muscles of the feet and finding your center of gravity before moving into more demanding movements. A significant portion of the class is dedicated to mastering piqué attitude and transitions. You will learn to execute piqué movements with a clear line, focusing on the coordination between the piqué action and the supporting leg’s stability.
We also explore the intricacies of fondu and tombé, ensuring that every transition is fluid and controlled. This class provides the technical breakdown necessary to improve your effacé lines and overall presentation. As we transition to the center, the focus shifts to sissones and en dedans pirouettes.
Performing sissones en pointe requires a unique blend of power and delicacy; the instructor guides you through the mechanics of the jump and the importance of a controlled landing through the shoes. For turns, we break down the preparation from fourth position, emphasizing the swivel and the engagement of the core to maintain balance during en dedans pirouettes. Throughout the lesson, you will practice combinations involving bourrées and grand battement, helping you build the stamina and confidence required for intermediate choreography.
Whether you are working on your spotting or seeking to improve your foot articulation, this practice provides the tools and encouragement needed to reach your goals. Join Broche Ballet online and refine your artistry while strengthening your technique en pointe.
