About This Video
Looking to fit a full ballet workout into a busy schedule? Welcome to this Speed Barre session at Broche Ballet. This 35-minute class is designed specifically for dancers who want to maximize their time without sacrificing the quality of their technique. Unlike traditional classes that pause for extensive explanations, this Speed Barre focuses on continuous movement and extra-long combinations that challenge both your physical endurance and your mental focus.
Throughout this session, you will work through a comprehensive series of exercises, starting with plié and tendu before moving into more complex work. The instructor guides you through fondu en croix, passé, and frappé fondu with an emphasis on maintaining a strong, upright posture and a stable core. By working through longer sequences, you will learn to sustain your energy from the first grand battement to the final arabesque.
One of the key challenges of this class is the frappé fondu combination. You will explore how to alternate between front, side, and back movements while maintaining a refined balance. Whether you are performing these movements on a flat foot or in relevé, the goal is to find a calm transition between movements, ensuring every port de bras and corps de bras is executed with grace and intention.
This class is perfect for those who are already familiar with ballet terminology and are ready to put their knowledge into practice in a fast-paced environment. By minimizing the time spent on verbal instruction, we create a rhythmic, dance-like flow that prepares you for the demands of center work and performance. Join us at Broche Ballet to refine your développé, sharpen your rond de jambe, and build the stamina necessary for advanced ballet practice.
