About This Video
Elevate your classical practice with our Super Spicy Advanced Ballet Barre at Broche Ballet. This 52-minute session is specifically designed for cold days when your body requires a more intensive warm-up to reach peak performance. Set to an energizing playlist of oldies music, this class combines rigorous technical exercises with a fast-paced flow that will challenge even the most seasoned dancers.
We begin with detailed plié work to establish a strong foundation before moving into complex développé sequences. You will focus on the technical necessity of keeping the knee back as long as possible to ensure a beautiful line and correct hip placement. The class progresses through challenging fondu and passé combinations that demand both strength and grace.
One of the highlights of this practice is the focus on the grand battement. You will learn the mechanics of the 'big kick' while maintaining core stability. Our instructor demonstrates how to use a subtle lunge at the top of the movement to prevent falling forward and how to engage the shoulder blades as an anchor to catch yourself during large transitions.
Transitions like the relevé and sous-sus are integrated throughout to help you build the stamina needed for center work and allegro. By focusing on proper breathing and alignment, you will refine your ability to execute difficult steps with precision and control. Whether you are looking to stay warm during winter months or simply want to push your technical boundaries, this advanced barre provides the perfect environment to grow as a dancer.
