About This Video
Welcome to an efficient and high-energy practice session at Broche Ballet. Our Speed Barre class is specifically designed for dancers who need a full, comprehensive workout but have a limited schedule. In just 35 minutes, Julie guides you through a complete barre sequence that prioritizes flow, stamina, and technical precision. By keeping the combinations 'simple-ish' and minimizing lengthy explanations, this class allows you to stay in constant motion, mimicking the pace and intensity of a professional company class.
Throughout the session, you will work through the fundamental building blocks of ballet technique. We begin with grounding pliés and move quickly into specialized movements such as fondu, développé, and grand battement. The focus remains on maintaining a tall, lengthened posture and a stable core, especially as the movements increase in complexity and height. Julie provides expert cues on alignment and expression, ensuring that even at a faster pace, your technique remains clean and your movements fluid.
This speed-focused format is excellent for building muscle memory and cardiovascular endurance. You will practice transitioning smoothly between positions like a high passé and a balanced arabesque, all while utilizing proper breathing techniques to manage physical exertion. Whether you are using this as a daily warm-up or a standalone workout, this class provides the physical conditioning and mental focus necessary to elevate your ballet practice. Join us at the barre and experience how much you can achieve in just over half an hour.
