About This Video
Welcome to a high-efficiency training session with Julie at Broche Ballet. Our Speed Barre class is designed for the dancer on the go who refuses to compromise on technique. In just 35 minutes, you will progress through a complete barre sequence, from initial plié to final stretches, focusing on the fundamental pillars of ballet: strength, control, and precision.
This session is uniquely structured for those who want to focus on movement flow. By minimizing verbal explanations between combinations, we maximize your time moving. You will engage in rigorous exercises including tendu, dégagé, and fondu—all while maintaining the core engagement and upright posture necessary for classical execution.
We emphasize the importance of melting through your fondu movements and finding the sharp clarity required for an effective tendu. Throughout the class, we dive deep into the mechanics of turnout. You will learn to maintain a consistent rotation from the hips, ensuring your knees are aligned over your toes during every plié and rise.
As we move into more advanced movements like ronds de jambe and arabesque, the focus shifts toward weight transfer and stability. Julie provides ongoing cues to help you keep your hips forward and your toes reaching back, creating the long, elegant line synonymous with ballet. Beyond the legs, we address the nuances of port de bras.
Using proper arm placement is essential for balance, and this class encourages a relaxed yet supported upper body. Whether you are performing a sous-sus or a complex developpé, your core remains the anchor, protecting your lower back during every bend and twist. By the end of this 35-minute practice, you will feel energized, centered, and technically sharper.
Join the Broche Ballet community and elevate your daily practice with our streamlined approach to classical training.
