About This Video
Are you short on time but craving the discipline of the barre? Our Speed Ballet Barre class at Broche Ballet is designed for dancers who want a comprehensive workout in just 35 minutes. Led by Julie, this session moves efficiently through a full barre sequence, making it the perfect addition to a busy schedule.
Because the combinations are kept simple-ish with minimal explanation, you can stay in the flow and focus entirely on your physicality and musicality. Set to the enchanting scores of Cinderella, this class guides you through essential exercises including pliés, tendus, dégagés, and grand battements. The primary focus remains on proper technique and alignment.
You will learn how to maintain engagement throughout your core while executing a plié en croix, ensuring that every movement is intentional and controlled. A key highlight of this session is the focus on the grand battement. We delve into the mechanics of releasing the hip flexor to allow for a freer, higher extension without compromising the stability of the pelvis.
Staying present during your stretches is another core component of this practice. By focusing on your breath and alignment during the stretching segments, you will achieve a deeper release and better flexibility. The transitions are designed to be fluid, teaching you how to move gracefully between sides, especially during complex patterns like grand battement with a plié en croix.
Whether you are looking to maintain your strength between full-length classes or simply want to get a little ballet into your day, this Speed Barre offers a high-value, condensed practice. At Broche Ballet, we believe that consistency is the key to progress. This 35-minute session provides the perfect platform to refine your developpé, extend your lines, and finish feeling centered and strong.
