About This Video
Elevate your technical prowess with this intensive Power Barre session from Broche Ballet. Designed specifically to bridge the gap between traditional barre work and the explosive requirements of center allegro and pirouettes, this 53-minute class focuses on the intersection of strength, speed, and precision. Throughout the lesson, our instructor guides you through a rigorous series of exercises that target the legs, hips, and core, ensuring every movement is executed with maximum efficiency.
We dive deep into the mechanics of potential energy, teaching you how to utilize your hip placement to generate the drive necessary for high-impact movements. You will refine your execution of the pli and relev , focusing on maintaining a perfectly straight knee during elevations to create a stable base for any sequence. The curriculum covers essential vocabulary including grand battement, pass , and d velopp , with a specific emphasis on the turn en croix.
By mastering the fondu and envelopp , you will learn to control the 'melting' quality of your movements while retaining the explosive power needed for jumps. A key takeaway of this session is the cultivation of drive; by learning to drive the hip forward during a pass , dancers can achieve greater stability and speed in their rotations. This class is not just about the sweat and physicality; it is about the mindful application of technique to achieve artistic freedom in the air and on the floor.
Join us at Broche Ballet to transform your barre practice into a powerful foundation for your entire dance repertoire.
