About This Video
Welcome to the final installment of our series inspired by the prestigious Prix de Lausanne. In this comprehensive 31-minute session, we take everything you have learned and apply it to a full, continuous ballet barre designed to challenge your stamina and precision. At Broche Ballet, we believe in bringing professional-level insights to your home studio, and this routine is the perfect example of elite training.
The session begins with a comprehensive warm-up to prepare the joints and muscles, followed by a series of foundational exercises including plié, tendu, and dégagé. As the routine progresses, the complexity increases significantly. You will work through rigorous battement combinations and fluid développé sequences.
A particular focus is placed on développé à la seconde and the graceful transition into a penché or arabesque, ensuring that your lines are long and supported from the core. One of the highlights of this practice is the integration of fondu and raccourci, movements that demand exceptional control and a melting quality. We also delve into pirouette preparations and fouetté actions at the barre, helping you find your center before moving to the center.
Throughout the class, the instructor emphasizes the importance of a strong relevé and maintaining proper posture even during the most demanding movements. Whether you are preparing for a competition or simply want to elevate your daily practice, this Prix de Lausanne-inspired barre will help you cultivate the strength, coordination, and artistry required for high-level ballet. Focus on slow, controlled movements to build the necessary muscle memory for professional performance and maintain your poise through every transition.
