About This Video
Welcome to a high-energy session at Broche Ballet designed for the dancer on the go. Our Speed Barre class, led by Julie, packs a full traditional barre sequence into just 35 minutes. This session is specifically designed for those who already have a grasp of ballet terminology and are looking for a vigorous practice with minimal verbal breakdown.
We move efficiently through a comprehensive series of exercises, from the initial warm-up to the final grand battement. Throughout the class, you will focus on maintaining impeccable alignment and turnout even as the tempo increases. The lesson covers essential techniques including plié, relevé, and fondu, ensuring every muscle group is engaged and warmed up.
We pay special attention to the fluidity of your port de bras, teaching you how to use the floor to create resistance and stability. While the combinations are kept relatively simple, the brisk pace challenges your muscle memory and cardiovascular stamina. We also incorporate movements like arabesque and passé to test your balance and core engagement.
This specific session also features a celebratory atmosphere to honor a community member's birthday, adding an extra layer of joy and performance quality to your relevé sequences. Whether you are prepping for a center-work rehearsal or just need to fit a high-quality workout into a busy day, this Speed Barre provides the perfect blend of technical precision and athletic conditioning to keep your practice on track.
