About This Video
Welcome to an intensive, high-energy session designed for dancers who want to maximize their time at the barre. Our Super Sweaty Speed Barre at Broche Ballet follows the philosophy of less instruction and more dancing. This class is ideal for students who have a solid grasp of ballet fundamentals and are ready to challenge their cardiovascular endurance and muscle memory through a continuous, fluid flow of movement.
During this 35-minute workout, you will move through a comprehensive series of exercises starting with plié and tendu, progressing quickly into more complex combinations. We focus heavily on maintaining technical precision at a faster tempo, incorporating movements such as dégagé, fondu, and développé. By minimizing the breaks between exercises, we help you build the stamina required for longer variations and center work.
The instructor provides clear cues to help you maintain proper posture and core engagement throughout the session. We utilize exercises en croix to ensure balanced development of the legs and hips, finishing with powerful grand battement to improve range of motion and strength. A significant portion of the class is dedicated to learning how to use the floor as a reference point, allowing for better alignment and control during transitions.
You will learn to release unnecessary tension in the upper body while keeping the legs energized and precise. This class isn't just a workout; it's a way to refine your artistry through disciplined, rhythmic movement. Join us to find your flow and elevate your ballet technique to the next level.
