About This Video
Elevate your technical prowess with this advanced ballet center class from Broche Ballet. This session is specifically designed for the seasoned dancer who wants to refine their stability, power, and coordination without spending hours in the studio. We dive deep into the mechanics of center work, focusing on the precision required for professional-level execution.
The centerpiece of this lesson is a series of dedicated fouetté turn drills. We break down the coordination of the working leg and the supporting relevé to ensure you stay perfectly centered. You will learn the importance of staying 'over the leg' to maintain momentum and control throughout multiple rotations.
Beyond just the turns, we focus on the subtle details that separate a student from a performer, such as exact finger placement and fluid arm positioning. Throughout the class, we explore a variety of movements including tombé pas de bourrée, soutenu, and pas de basque. These transitions are vital for building a seamless routine and maintaining fluidity between combinations.
We also focus on arabesque stability and the core engagement necessary to hold difficult positions while maintaining a relaxed, breathable upper body. For those looking to improve their jump height and landing grace, the class incorporates insights into grand jeté and other large allegro movements. By emphasizing the push from the floor and the lift from the core, you will find more 'ballon' in your jumps.
This class is an excellent way to maintain your technique, build stamina, and master the most challenging aspects of advanced ballet center work. Whether you are preparing for a performance or simply want to push your boundaries, this session provides the expert guidance needed to succeed in a virtual environment.
