About This Video
Step away from the rigid repetition of traditional training and find your unique voice as a dancer with our Artistry Barre class at Broche Ballet. This 44-minute session is designed for the intermediate to advanced dancer who wants to infuse their practice with breath, emotion, and stage presence. Set to beautiful pop covers, this class transforms technical exercises into a lyrical experience that feels more like a performance than a drill.
Throughout this session, we dive deep into the nuances of movement. You will focus on fundamental concepts like proper posture and core engagement, which serve as the foundation for balance and control. As we move through combinations including fondu, développé, and tombé, you will learn how to treat your legs as a single fluid unit, creating seamless lines from the hip through the toes.
Artistry is not just about the legs; it is about the whole body. We pay special attention to the arms and the use of allongé and cambré to add depth to your movements. You will explore how to use the floor as a reference point for stability during transitions and how to use music as a rhythmic guide for your timing.
By the end of this class, you will have a better understanding of how to focus on the sensation of movement, using different intentions and emotions to add layers to your dance. Whether you are working on the delicate precision of a pas de cheval or the expansive reach of an arabesque, this class encourages you to relax into the motion. By prioritizing breath and musicality, you will find that complex techniques become more intuitive.
Join us at the barre and rediscover the joy of dance with these super beautiful and dance-y combinations.
