About This Video
In this 52-minute Power Barre session with Broche Ballet, we dive deep into the specific conditioning required to transition from the barre to the center with explosive power and refined control. This class is meticulously designed for dancers who want to improve their jumps and turns by focusing on the mechanics of speed, precision, and upper body stability. We begin with a series of rhythmic exercises that emphasize counting and timing, essential for developing the musicality needed for successful allegro.
You will work through traditional sequences like plié and tendu with an added focus on engaging the core and hamstrings to prepare for the vertical demands of jumping. Throughout the class, we prioritize correct technique, ensuring your passé and fondu are executed with fluidity. A significant portion of this lesson is dedicated to turnout and alignment.
By focusing on grand rond de jambe and various dégagé patterns, you will build the hip stability necessary for secure landings and clean pirouettes. We also address the upper body role, teaching you how to use your arms to maintain balance during complex movements. Whether you are working en pointe or focusing on your demi-pointe technique, this Power Barre class provides the technical insights needed to elevate your practice.
You will learn how to translate barre work into the height of a grand jeté and the precision of a sauté. Join the Broche Ballet community and start building the power behind your technique today.
