About This Video
Ready to move beyond the fundamentals? This 33-minute intermediate practice session at Broche Ballet is designed for dancers who have mastered basic frappé mechanics and are eager to challenge their coordination. We dive deep into complex sequences that integrate speed, precision, and artistry.
Throughout the lesson, we explore the intricate relationship between lower body speed and upper body control. You will practice detailed frappé sequences incorporating petit battement and battu, requiring sharp footwork and stable turnout. We don't just stop at the legs; the instructor provides meticulous guidance on port de bras, emphasizing proper arm timing during movements like soutenu and tombé.
A significant portion of the class is dedicated to integrating pirouettes and transitions like the tombé piqué and arabesque into your barre routine. By practicing these turns and shifts in weight within a structured combination, you will build the muscle memory necessary for successful execution in the center. We cover both sides of every combination, allowing you to find balance and symmetry in your technique.
By the end of this session, you will have a comprehensive understanding of how to link movements such as the passé, sus-sous, and piqué with elegance and control. Whether you are practicing in a home studio or a traditional space, this class offers the professional corrections and detailed breakdowns you need to elevate your intermediate ballet practice to the next level.
