About This Video
Welcome to this comprehensive 44-minute intermediate ballet class from Broche Ballet. This session is specifically designed for dancers looking to refine their technique en pointe, focusing on the core pillars of strength, balance, and artistry. By focusing on both technical precision and fluid movement, this class helps bridge the gap between basic exercises and professional performance quality.
We begin at the barre with essential foundational movements to warm up the feet and core. You will work through relevé and rond de jambe to build the necessary ankle stability and leg strength required for advanced center work. The instructor provides detailed cues on proper alignment and turnout, ensuring that every movement is executed with precision.
Transitioning to the center, the focus shifts to more complex sequences. We dive into the mechanics of the pirouette, covering everything from the preparation to the finishing technique. You will practice single and double turns, working on maintaining your passé position and finding your spot to improve control.
We also incorporate tombé, bourrée, and balancé to enhance your fluid movement across the floor. The class culminates in a graceful adagio combination. This section challenges your control and extensions, integrating arabesque and cambré with expressive port de bras.
It is an opportunity to showcase your artistry while maintaining the technical rigor required for slow, sustained movements en pointe. Throughout the class, Broche Ballet emphasizes the importance of patience and consistent practice. Whether you are working on your balance during a turn or the height of your leg in arabesque, this class provides the professional feedback and structure needed to elevate your dance practice to the next level.
