About This Video
Welcome to Part 4 of our intensive series on the Prix de Lausanne petite allegro. In this practice session, we transition from technical breakdown to performance-ready speed. Mastering Jumps Combo #2 requires more than just jumping; it demands an elite level of coordination, musicality, and spatial awareness.
As we delve into this full-speed practice, you will focus on the intricate footwork that defines professional-level ballet. At Broche Ballet, we believe in bringing these world-class standards to your personal practice space, helping you bridge the gap between classroom exercises and stage performance. This combination emphasizes the ballotté movement, requiring a sharp, quick energy that must be maintained even as you change corners and shift directions.
One of the most challenging aspects of this sequence is the transition from back to front and vice versa. Maintaining your turnout and core stability while moving through space at high tempo is essential to prevent 'muddy' footwork. We also address the concepts of petite allegro precision, ensuring that every sauté and landing is executed with a deep, elastic plié to protect the joints and provide the necessary power for the next jump.
By repeating this full-speed drill, you will build the muscle memory needed for the complex petit battement and directional shifts required in the Prix de Lausanne variations. This session is designed to push your cardiovascular endurance while demanding absolute focus on the placement of the feet and the lift of the upper body. Join us as we refine your technique and bring professional-level agility to your ballet practice.
