About This Video
Welcome to an intensive Speed Barre session with Julie at Broche Ballet. This class is specifically designed for dancers who want a full, 35-minute ballet workout that moves efficiently through sequences with minimal explanation. While the class structure is fast-paced in its transitions, the focus remains on slow, technical execution to build deep muscle strength and stability. This 'sweat while standing still' approach ensures that every movement is intentional and effective.
Throughout the lesson, we dive deep into foundational elements, starting with the importance of a proper plié. You will learn how the plié serves as the engine for power and the safety mechanism for landings. We transition through essential movements including tendu, coup-de-pied, and passé, emphasizing turnout and core engagement at every stage. The class challenges your control as we move into more complex positions like arabesque and specialized jumps such as the cabriole and flotte.
One of the unique aspects of this Speed Barre is the focus on landing techniques. Julie provides insights into how to execute a safe and powerful landing in arabesque, training the body to handle the impact of dynamic jumps. By slowing down the movements within a fast-moving class format, you gain the precision necessary for advanced center work. Whether you are fitting a workout into a busy day or looking to refine your technical execution, this session provides the perfect balance of pace and precision. Prepare to engage your core, find your balance in relevé, and push your technical boundaries with Broche Ballet.
