About This Video
This Quick and Spicy all-level ballet barre class is designed to challenge your muscles while refining your classical technique. Led by the instructors at Broche Ballet, this 41-minute session dives deep into the fundamentals of placement and movement quality. We start with a focus on proper alignment and posture, ensuring your base is solid before moving into more complex sequences.
Throughout the class, you will work through a traditional series of barre exercises, including detailed work on plié, fondu, and développé. One of the unique focuses of this session is the use of floor friction. By learning how to use the floor to generate power, you will find more control in your dégagé and grand battements.
We also emphasize core engagement, which is essential for maintaining stability during weight transfers and leg extensions. The spicy element comes from the intentional pacing and the focus on muscle engagement—you will feel the burn as you maintain turnout and length. Beyond the physical workout, we address common technical pitfalls, such as keeping the back straight during a plié and ensuring the knees track correctly over the toes.
We also delve into upper body control, helping you maintain graceful shoulders even as the legs work hard. Whether you are looking to brush up on your basics or want a solid daily practice to keep your technique sharp, this class offers professional-level feedback and insights. By focusing on the mechanics of every movement, you will build the strength and muscle memory required for center work and beyond.
