About This Video
Take your training to the next level with this Advanced Ballet Center class from Broche Ballet. Designed for dedicated students who seek both technical precision and artistic expression, this session focuses on the mastery of adagio and the mechanics of the pirouette. We begin the center work with a long, sustained adagio sequence.
This portion of the class is essential for developing the core strength and leg control required for advanced choreography. You will focus on smooth transitions from plié to extension, maintaining a graceful port de bras throughout. The highlight of this practice is a series of specialized drills for turns.
Many dancers feel they lose control during a pirouette, often landing in the same incorrect spot out of habit. In this class, we tackle that head-on by reclaiming your agency as a dancer. You will learn to pre-determine your landing spot—be it front, side, or back—demanding total control from your body.
We even explore the concept of intentionally falling into a common mistake. By doing this deliberately, you strip away the fear and frustration of the error, proving to yourself that you are the one in charge of the movement. As the class progresses, we integrate these technical concepts into more dynamic movements.
You will work through tendu sequences, grand jeté combinations, and a unique wrap-around exercise that incorporates lunges and deep pliés. This holistic approach ensures that the control you find in the drills carries over into your artistic dancing. Whether you are working toward professional-level precision or simply want to feel more grounded in your turns, this class provides the tools to break through technical plateaus and gain total agency over your movement.
Join us at Broche Ballet to refine your craft, build your confidence, and discover the true power of deliberate movement in the center.
