About This Video
Welcome to a high-efficiency training session designed for the busy dancer. This Speed Ballet Barre class at Broche Ballet is specifically structured to deliver a comprehensive workout in just 35 minutes. Unlike traditional classes that may spend significant time on lengthy explanations, this session focuses on the flow of movement, allowing you to maximize your time at the barre. While the combinations are kept relatively simple, the faster pace challenges your muscle memory and cardiovascular endurance.
Throughout this session, you will progress through a full sequence of essential exercises. We begin with foundational plié and tendu work to warm up the joints and find your center. As the class progresses, we incorporate more dynamic elements such as tendu flex and petite battement to specifically target leg strength and ankle flexibility. The instructor provides concise, actionable feedback, emphasizing the importance of proper alignment and engagement even as the tempo increases. You will work through passé and port de bras sequences, ensuring that every lié and allongé movement is executed with grace and control.
One of the highlights of this class is the high-energy frappé combination at the end. This sequence is designed to test your quick footwork and core stability, requiring sharp precision and physical awareness. By condensing a traditional barre into this 35-minute format, Broche Ballet helps you maintain your technique, strength, and coordination without requiring a full hour in the studio. Whether you are looking to fit in a morning workout or need a quick refresher between other activities, this speed barre provides the professional instruction and physical challenge necessary to keep you at your best.
