About This Video
Elevate your technical proficiency with this specialized Power Barre session from Broche Ballet. This 50-minute intensive class is meticulously designed to bridge the gap between foundational barre work and the explosive requirements of center-floor allegro and turns. We focus on the intersection of power and precision, specifically targeting the inner thighs to facilitate cleaner, more efficient beats (batterie).
The class begins by establishing a centered spine and an active core, which are essential for maintaining balance during high-energy movements. We move through traditional sequences such as plié and relevé, but with an added emphasis on speed and control. You will engage in deep fondu exercises to build the eccentric strength necessary for soft landings and powerful take-offs.
As we progress, we incorporate développé and enveloppé movements to challenge your range of motion and stability on one leg. A key highlight of this session is the focus on the upper body. By stabilizing the torso and maintaining proper alignment through the arms and shoulders, you create a solid frame that allows the legs to work with greater speed and accuracy.
This class also explores how to use visualization and intentional breathing to sustain energy throughout demanding combinations. Whether you are preparing for a performance or simply looking to level up your technical strength, this Power Barre provides the conditioning required for advanced ballet mastery. Join our community to transform your barre practice into a springboard for better jumps, faster turns, and more articulate footwork.
By focusing on the mechanics of turnout and the engagement of the adductors, you will find a new level of stability and power in every pas.
