Power Barre: Building Strength and Precision for Ballet Jumps and Turns

Elevate your ballet technique with this comprehensive 46-minute Power Barre class, specifically curated by Broche Ballet to help you master the strength and precision required for jumps and turns. This session is a targeted workout designed to build the explosive power and refined control needed for grand allegro and stable pirouettes. In this class, we dive deep into the mechanics of the plié and relevé, emphasizing the depth and height necessary to launch into successful jumps.

You will learn how to maintain leg speed during complex combinations, ensuring your movements remain sharp and intentional. We cover a full range of barre exercises, including tendu, dégagé, and grand battement, with a specific focus on the 'flying leg'—keeping the working leg active and energized throughout every transition. A significant portion of the class is dedicated to finding your center through balance.

By working on passé and attitude positions, you will strengthen your core and supporting leg, creating a solid foundation for more stable turns. The instructor provides constant feedback on alignment and posture, ensuring that your upper body remains calm and supportive while your legs perform high-intensity movements. Whether you are looking to increase the height of your sauté or the speed of your rotations, the Power Barre routine offers the repetitive, high-quality practice required to see real results.

We focus on the smooth transition between steps, teaching you how to move from a deep fondu into an explosive grand battement with grace and power. Join us at Broche Ballet for this challenging yet rewarding session. By focusing on breathing, balance, and precise execution, you will develop the physical and mental stamina needed to excel in your ballet journey.

Let’s get to the barre and start building the power you need to soar in the center.
