About This Video
Celebrate with a comprehensive 44-minute ballet session designed for dancers of every stage. This all-level barre practice from Broche Ballet focuses on the core foundations of classical dance, blending strength-building movements with the artistry of ballet technique. Throughout this class, you will be guided through a series of traditional exercises including tendu, fondu, and développé, all aimed at improving your muscle memory and precision.
The instructor emphasizes proper alignment, encouraging you to keep your head high and your arms stable, ensuring that every movement is executed with grace and control. A major focus of this session is the coordination required for développé to the front, side, and back, specifically the timing of picking up and lowering the leg. We also explore transitions into sous-sus, helping you find your center and improve your balance.
Each sequence incorporates cambré work to enhance spinal flexibility and upper-body expression. Whether you are a beginner looking to understand the mechanics of a melting fondu or an intermediate dancer refining your extension, this President's Day workout provides the instructional feedback and technical corrections necessary for growth. Join us at the barre and experience the Broche Ballet difference as you work toward longer lines and stronger transitions.
