About This Video
Bring your performance to life with the Artistry Barre class at Broche Ballet. This session is designed for dancers who want to move beyond the physical mechanics of a plié or a tendu and truly inhabit the music. During this 36-minute practice, we focus intensely on the connection between breath, musicality, and stage presence, ensuring you feel like a professional dancer from the moment you step up to the barre.
Artistry isn't just for the stage; it begins with how you approach every movement in class. We explore how a full inhale and exhale can transform a simple susu or tombé into a moment of genuine expression. By focusing on your breathing, you gain better control over your movements and find a more organic flow in your transitions.
The instructor emphasizes walking around your space with style and trust, encouraging you to let go of the fear of mistakes and embrace the confidence that comes with practiced technique. Throughout this Artistry Barre, you will refine your positions, working through first and fifth positions with renewed awareness. We dive into movements like the coupé and lié, focusing on the gentle lowering of the body and the extension of the arms.
You will learn to pull your shoulders back and reach outward, projecting your energy to the audience even in a home studio setting. At Broche Ballet, we believe that technique is the foundation for artistry. By integrating these artistic elements early in your training, you develop a more cohesive and professional dance style.
Whether you are working on your footwork or your alignment, this class provides the tools to help you trust your body and dance with a joyful, commanding presence. Join us for this transformative session and discover how focusing on the why of movement can elevate your entire ballet practice.
