About This Video
Welcome to the third and final installment of our Lyrical Movement series at Broche Ballet, featuring the wonderfully expressive guest instructor Rosy Pigott. This session is designed to help you synthesize the techniques learned in previous classes into a cohesive, powerful, and deeply personal choreographic sequence. Lyrical movement serves as a beautiful bridge between the structure of classical ballet and the fluid expression of contemporary dance.
In this class, Rosy focuses on the nuances behind every movement, helping you explore a variety of dynamics, including the 'wrap,' 'push,' 'drop,' and 'pull,' which give the dance its unique texture and emotional weight. We delve into the importance of the 'round' shape in the body and how to utilize the chest and wrists to convey a narrative. One of the highlights of this choreography is the 'windmill' motion, which requires a delicate balance of stretching and contracting the leg while maintaining a strong core and alignment.
You will also practice a precise six-count descent, focusing on the placement of the heel and the articulation of the wrist. Throughout the lesson, the emphasis remains heavily on mindfulness and emotional regulation. Dancing is not just a physical act; it is a mental and emotional exercise.
Rosy encourages dancers to 'be patient' and 'hold on to who you are,' fostering an environment of self-awareness and self-acceptance. As you repeat the sequence, you will find that the initial struggle with coordination gives way to a sense of flow and confidence. This class is perfect for those who want to refine their timing and posture while exploring the deeper, more vulnerable aspects of performance.
By the end of this session, you will have mastered a full combination that resonates with both technical precision and authentic emotion. Join us at Broche Ballet to discover how patience and practice can transform your movement.
