About This Video
Elevate your dance training with this intensive Men's Power Barre session at Broche Ballet. This 40-minute class is specifically designed to build the explosive strength and refined precision required for male-coded choreography, focusing heavily on power from the à la seconde position. Whether you are preparing for complex jumps or powerful turns, this routine provides the technical foundation you need to excel.
The class begins by establishing a strong connection to the floor through plié and relevé exercises, quickly moving into more dynamic movements. A primary focus of this session is the mastery of frappé and beat techniques. The instructor emphasizes the necessity of keeping the upper body and torso completely still while the legs work with rapid speed.
You will learn how to maintain a steady pace during intricate batterie work, ensuring that the leg passes the shoulder line with clarity and control. Technical precision is highlighted during the fondu en croix and développé sequences. Unlike standard exercises, these are performed with an eye toward melting strength and sustained power.
Special attention is paid to the positioning of the heel; for example, when performing beats to the back, you will learn to ensure the heel comes out from underneath you rather than rebounding, which is vital for professional-grade petit allegro. Throughout the class, we utilize passé, soutenu, and rond de jambe to challenge your balance and coordination. By focusing on the mechanics of the flex and beat, dancers can better control their body’s response to rapid movements, directly improving the quality of their jump landings and turn stability.
Join Broche Ballet for this challenging workout and take your power and precision to the next level.
