About This Video
Welcome to a focused center practice designed specifically for beginner dancers at Broche Ballet. In this session, we transition away from the support of the barre to challenge your stability, alignment, and artistic expression. The lesson begins with essential center movements, including tendu and dégagé, emphasizing the importance of using the floor through your toes to create a strong, articulate foundation.
A highlight of this class is a beautiful adagio combination that focuses on developing strength and extension. You will work on your développé, learning how to move with the breath and return gracefully to an arabesque position. We also break down the mechanics of the tombé and pas de bourrée, ensuring you understand the correct sequence—front, side, back—to maintain fluid motion across the floor.
Throughout the practice, the instructor provides detailed corrections on posture and weight placement. You will learn how to find your center while pivoting and how to coordinate your breath with your port de bras to make technical steps look effortless. Whether you are working on your plié in the center or refining your à la seconde extensions, this class offers the professional guidance you need to build confidence.
