About This Video
Welcome to a high-intensity Power Barre session at Broche Ballet, specifically designed to bridge the gap between technical barre work and the explosive movements of center practice. This 43-minute class focuses on the physical conditioning required for high-level jumps and precise pirouettes, emphasizing the mechanics of power, speed, and upper body coordination. We begin with a deep dive into active turnout.
Maintaining rotation through every plié and grand plié is essential for protecting the joints and creating a stable base for movement. We explore how to engage the deep rotators while maintaining a wide chest and neutral pelvis, ensuring your alignment is rock-solid before adding complexity and speed. Transitioning into grand rond de jambe and dynamic battements, the class emphasizes the transition from slow, controlled movements to sharp, powerful execution.
This "Power Barre" approach trains the muscles to react quickly, which is vital for petit allegro and grand allegro. By focusing on the push and the resistance in every relevé and preparation, you will build the stamina needed for longer choreographic sequences. Precision doesn't stop at the legs; we integrate specific port de bras and cambrai movements to ensure the upper body remains expressive yet stable.
Learn how to coordinate arm placement with complex footwork, such as passé en croix and pirouette preparations. This holistic approach ensures that when you step away from the barre, your body moves as a cohesive, powerful unit. Whether you are preparing for a performance or looking to level up your technical foundations, this session provides the professional corrections and feedback necessary to excel.
Join us to build the strength, precision, and fluidity that define professional ballet technique.
