About This Video
Welcome to Broche Ballet’s Power Barre, a comprehensive 48-minute session designed to push your limits and refine your technique. This class is not just a standard warm-up; it is a specialized athletic training routine focused on the power, speed, and precision required for center work. If you have ever felt your jumps lack height or your turns lack stability, this Power Barre session is specifically designed to bridge that gap.
We focus on building the functional strength necessary for complex choreography while maintaining the grace and poise of classical ballet. Throughout this session, we dive deep into the mechanics of movement. We start with essential plié and relevé combinations that build the foundational ankle and leg strength required for explosive movements.
As we progress, you will work through fondu and enveloppé exercises that challenge your balance and core engagement. The class places a significant emphasis on the grand battement, ensuring that you can execute these high kicks with control and precision without compromising your posture or alignment. One of the unique features of this Power Barre class is the dedicated focus on the upper body.
Often overlooked at the barre, a strong and stable port de bras is vital for successful pirouettes and arabesques. We will guide you through movements that integrate the arms and head, teaching you how to maintain a polished, refined appearance even during the most strenuous exercises. By the end of this practice, you will have a better understanding of how to transition smoothly between different dance steps with fluidity and ease.
Whether you are preparing for a performance or simply looking to increase your stamina, this Broche Ballet class provides the professional feedback and technical corrections necessary to elevate your artistry. Join us at the barre and transform your dance power today.
