About This Video
Elevate your ballet technique with this comprehensive 53-minute Power Barre session from Broche Ballet. This class is specifically designed to bridge the gap between barre work and the explosive power required for center allegro. We focus on the core pillars of a strong dancer: power, speed, precision, and upper body stability. Throughout the class, you will be guided through a series of exercises that challenge your coordination and muscular endurance, ensuring you are fully prepared for the demands of jumps and turns.
A central focus of this practice is the rond de jambe en l'air. You will explore the intricate mechanics of this movement, learning how to maintain a stable turnout while executing the circular motion of the lower leg with clarity and control. We also dive deep into the execution of the développé and pas de bourrée, emphasizing the importance of proper alignment and timing. By practicing these movements in isolation and then combining them into dynamic sequences, you will develop the muscle memory needed for fluid, professional-grade performance.
Beyond leg work, this class highlights the role of the upper body in maintaining balance and facilitating speed. You will receive detailed instruction on posture and placement, helping you find the necessary lift to execute complex steps with ease. Whether you are working on the height of your leg in a développé or the quickness of your feet in a tombé piqué, this session provides the technical breakdown and repetitive practice essential for mastery. Join us to refine your artistry and build the athletic foundation every ballet dancer needs.
