About This Video
Elevate your dancing with an introduction to Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT), a revolutionary program designed to enhance muscle memory and technical precision. At Broche Ballet, we believe that conditioning is the secret ingredient to mastering the grace and strength required for classical dance. This sample video provides a high-speed look at a dedicated core and turnout workout, demonstrating how specialized equipment like stability balls can transform your training.
PBT focuses on finding the correct muscles to support your ballet technique. By working on a dynamic surface, you are forced to engage your deep core muscles, which are essential for maintaining a strong center during a pirouette or a steady adagio. This workout specifically targets the rotators to help you achieve a more functional and sustainable turnout.
Unlike traditional floor exercises, PBT challenges your balance and proprioception, ensuring that the strength you build in the studio transfers directly to your movement at the barre and in the center. In this preview, you will see a series of exercises designed to activate the pelvic floor and abdominals while isolating the legs. These movements help prevent common issues like gripping the quads or tucking the pelvis, allowing for a more fluid plié and a sharper tendu.
Whether you are working toward your first pair of pointe shoes or simply want to feel more secure in your adult ballet classes, PBT offers the structural support your body needs. At Broche Ballet, we integrate these conditioning principles into our holistic approach to dance education. While this video is a sped-up sample to give you a taste of the movements, our full-length classes guide you through every alignment cue and breath.
Strengthening the body from the inside out is the best way to see progress in your arabesque height and allegro power. Dive into this PBT session and discover how intentional conditioning can redefine your ballet journey.
