About This Video
Ready to turn up the heat in your ballet practice? Welcome to Broche Ballet’s Super Sweaty Speed Barre, a high-intensity session designed for dancers who want to spend less time listening and more time moving. This class is specifically structured to challenge your cardiovascular stamina while refining the essential technical foundations of ballet. By increasing the tempo of traditional exercises, we force the body to find efficiency and stability in every movement.
In this session, we dive straight into a comprehensive barre routine. We start with fundamental pliés to warm up the joints before transitioning into quick-fire combinations of fondu, ronde de jambe, and powerful grands battements. The Speed Barre format ensures that you are constantly engaged, moving through transitions with precision and grace. It is the perfect way to build the muscle memory required for advanced center work and complex choreography.
A major focus of this class is the stability of the standing leg and hip alignment. As you navigate through complex port de bras and rapid leg movements like passé and dégagé, maintaining a level hip and a strong, grounded standing leg is paramount. You will learn how to keep your core engaged and your weight properly placed to allow for maximum freedom in your working leg without sacrificing proper ballet alignment.
This workout isn't just about speed; it's about controlled power. For movements like grand battement, our instructors emphasize the importance of pushing down into the floor to generate upward force. This helps develop the explosive strength needed for jumps and grand allegro. By the end of this 35-minute session, you will have worked every major muscle group used in ballet, leaving you feeling strong, stretched, and accomplished. Join the Broche Ballet community today and take your technical training to the next level with this exhilarating workout.
