About This Video
Welcome to this exclusive Master Class with Dennis at Broche Ballet, where we dive deep into the artistry and mechanics of center floor work. This 27-minute session is designed for the intermediate to advanced dancer who is ready to bridge the gap between simple steps and complex choreography. Mastering the center requires not just physical strength, but mental agility and precise spatial awareness.
Throughout this class, Dennis works through a series of challenging combinations that push the boundaries of balance and coordination. We begin by focusing on the relevé passé, particularly the demanding transition from front to back. This movement tests your core stability and requires a clear understanding of your center of gravity.
You will also practice various dégagé and rond de jambe sequences that serve as the building blocks for more advanced movements. A significant portion of the class is dedicated to fluidity in motion. You will explore the tombé pas de bourrée, a staple of ballet transitions, alongside sous-tenu and piqué movements.
These steps are essential for moving through space with grace and intention. Dennis demonstrates the nuances of timing and weight transfer, showing that even experienced dancers must focus on repetition to achieve perfection. The class also incorporates balancé and waltz steps, helping you develop a sense of breath and musicality in your dancing.
At Broche Ballet, we believe that seeing the process is just as important as seeing the result. In this video, you get a front-row seat to the rehearsal process. You will see how combinations are broken down, practiced, and eventually mastered.
This master class provides the tools you need to improve your technique and build the confidence necessary to tackle any choreography. Whether you are practicing in a studio or from the comfort of your home, this session offers professional guidance to elevate your ballet practice to the next level.
