About This Video
In this comprehensive one-hour session, Broche Ballet invites advanced dancers to dive deep into the technical nuances of a professional-level barre. This class is specifically designed to challenge your muscle memory and refine your execution of complex sequences, including a demanding fondu and fouetté combination. Throughout the lesson, we emphasize that "the money is in the landing," shifting the focus from the height of the leg to the stability and grace of the finish.
Our instructor provides expert guidance on maintaining power through the upper body by focusing on wrist and elbow control. By holding these positions correctly, you ensure a stronger frame, which is essential for the high-intensity movements covered in this class. We explore the relationship between the body and the leg during pirouettes, teaching you that the body must find its placement before the leg to achieve maximum stability.
The sequence includes a variety of advanced movements such as attitude swings, piqué, and pas de bourrée. You will work through detailed battement exercises, plié, and relevé sequences that build the necessary strength for center work. We also focus on the arabesque pose, ensuring that every line is elongated and technically sound.
Whether you are working on your passé or preparing for a tour en l'air, the attention to detail in this barre will translate directly to improved performance in the center. Practice is the key to mastery, and this video encourages repetition and precision. From the initial tendu to the final grand battement, every movement is an opportunity to perfect your form.
Join us at Broche Ballet to push your limits, add personality to your dancing with attitude swings, and master the art of the controlled finish.
