About This Video
Welcome to a comprehensive 54-minute advanced ballet barre designed for dedicated dancers looking to push their technical boundaries. At Broche Ballet, we believe that the barre is the foundation of all artistry, and this session is crafted to challenge your stamina while refining your alignment. Throughout this intensive class, your instructor will guide you through a rigorous sequence of exercises including deep pliés, precise tendus, and complex developpé combinations.
One of the primary focuses of this session is the mastery of timing and dynamics. You will learn how to execute a two-count developpé by moving quickly through the passé before moving into a sustained, slow extension. This contrast in tempo adds necessary drama and control to your movement.
We also dive deep into the mechanics of the relevé. By focusing on the flick of the toes, dancers can achieve a sharper, more controlled rise, which is particularly beneficial for those transitioning into pointe work or practicing in pointe shoes. Proper arm alignment is another key component highlighted in this class.
You will practice the correct positioning for a penché, ensuring the arm remains below the head to maintain a clean line and superior balance. From the strength required for a stable arabesque to the coordination needed for a cabriole, every movement is treated with professional-level scrutiny. Our instructor provides detailed feedback on turnout and posture, helping you maintain consistency even as fatigue sets in.
Whether you are preparing for a performance or simply want to maintain your peak physical condition, this long-form barre provides the structure and challenge necessary for advanced progress. Join us on the floor to improve your rond de jambe, jeté, and fouetté technique in a supportive yet demanding environment.
