About This Video
Elevate your petite allegro technique with this focused slow-practice session of the Jumps Combo #3 from the prestigious Prix de Lausanne. At Broche Ballet, we believe that mastering high-level variations begins with a deep understanding of the mechanics behind every movement. This video breaks down the complex sequence of Part 4, allowing you to refine your footwork and build muscle memory before taking the combination to full tempo.
In this lesson, you will meticulously work through a challenging combination that includes a series of intricate jumps. We start with the foundational pas de bourrée, ensuring smooth transitions and proper weight placement. You will then dive into the complexities of the entrechat trois, focusing on the clarity of the beats and the precision of the landing. The combination continues with the brisé, a movement that requires both power and delicacy to execute correctly, emphasizing the 'broken' quality of the legs in the air.
As you progress through the sequence, we examine the coordination required for the jeté and temps levé pairing. Maintaining a sharp coupé position is essential for the aesthetic and technical success of this phrase. Furthermore, we explore the ballonné and pas de chat, emphasizing the lightness and elasticity that are hallmarks of the petite allegro style. Slowing down these movements allows you to check your turnout, alignment, and pointed toes throughout the entire phrase, ensuring that you don't lose technique for the sake of speed.
Practicing these jumps at a reduced speed is the secret to building the precision necessary for the lightning-fast requirements of professional-level choreography. Whether you are preparing for a competition or simply want to sharpen your technical skills, this tutorial provides the clarity you need to excel.
