About This Video
Consistency is the cornerstone of progress in ballet. To achieve the beautiful lines and high extensions required for advanced technique, a dedicated stretching routine is essential. Broche Ballet is proud to offer this 10-minute Stretching Timer, a simple yet powerful tool designed to help dancers of all levels maintain a disciplined and peaceful flexibility practice.
Whether you are warming up before a class at the barre or cooling down after a long day of pointe work, this timer provides the structure you need to succeed. The video is set to a selection of beautiful classical music, creating a serene atmosphere that encourages deep breathing and focus. The total practice is divided into two 5-minute segments, ensuring you give equal attention to both your right side and left side.
Balancing your flexibility is crucial for maintaining proper alignment and preventing injury. During the session, you will receive four distinct time checks: one at the halfway mark of your first side, another when it is time to switch sides, a third at the halfway point of the second side, and a final notification when your 10 minutes are complete. This structured approach allows you to sink deeply into your favorite stretches—be it a split, a hamstring stretch, or a hip opener—without the distraction of checking a clock.
By removing the guesswork from your routine, you can focus entirely on the physical sensations of the stretch and the rhythm of the music. At Broche Ballet, we understand that finding time for a full workout can be difficult. This 10-minute tool is designed to fit seamlessly into a busy schedule, proving that even a short, focused session can yield significant results over time.
Let this timer be your companion as you work toward a more supple, capable, and graceful dancer's physique.
