Power Barre: Ballet Training for Better Turns, Jumps, and Beats

Welcome to 'Power Barre,' a specialized 45-minute online ballet class from Broche Ballet specifically designed to elevate your technique for dynamic jumps and turns. This session moves beyond standard daily exercises to challenge your coordination and build the explosive power necessary for both petit and grand allegro. Throughout the class, our instructor guides you through a variety of combinations with a primary focus on the 'Power Barre' sequence.

This is a demanding routine that requires immense precision, speed, and upper body control. You will practice essential movements like the piqué jump and coupé jump, with a specific focus on keeping landings low and controlled rather than focusing solely on height. This approach builds the underlying strength needed for more advanced center work.

We dive deep into the mechanics of the 'out-in-out-in' movement and alternating directions to sharpen your mental and physical agility. Our instructor provides real-time tips and technical corrections on posture, such as keeping the chest lifted and the standing shoulder down during piqué movements. We also explore the coordination required for beats and à la seconde turn preparation, ensuring your upper body is properly aligned to support your legs' speed and power.

By focusing on the depth of your plié and the sharpness of your tendu and battement, you will develop the muscle memory required for more complex choreography. At Broche Ballet, we understand that mastering these challenging sequences takes time and patience. This class is structured to provide you with the tools to improve your form and execution, helping you build the confidence to tackle even the most difficult power barre routines.

Whether you are working on your turn coordination or your jumping stamina, this session provides the technical breakdown necessary for significant improvement in your ballet practice.
