Speed Barre: Technical Precision Through High-Repetition Practice

Looking for a full ballet workout that maximizes every minute? Welcome to the Speed Barre at Broche Ballet. This 35-minute session is designed for the dancer who wants to move efficiently while maintaining a deep focus on technical precision.

Led by instructor Julie, this class moves quickly through a complete series of barre exercises, including tendu, fondu, and grand battement en croix. Because the combinations are kept intentionally simple, we spend less time on choreography and more time on the internal sensations that lead to better form. In this session, you will explore the relationship between the femur bone and the hip socket, ensuring proper alignment to avoid injury and maximize turnout.

We also focus on the upper body, specifically engaging the triceps to maintain power and stability through the arms. Whether you are working through a series of dégagé en croix or challenging your balance in a relevé passé, the goal is to build a stronger mind-body connection. By emphasizing high-repetition movements, this Speed Barre class helps solidify muscle memory.

You will refine your foot placement—ensuring the toe is precisely on the ankle bone or the heel is tucked under the calf during cou-de-pied movements. This class covers both sides of the barre thoroughly, giving you a balanced workout that addresses core stability, leg strength, and fluid transitions like the développé. If you have been searching for a way to maintain your ballet practice on a tight schedule, this session offers the perfect blend of intensity and technical refinement.

Join us at the barre to sharpen your skills, find your center, and develop the endurance required for advanced ballet work.
