About This Video
Ready to take your ballet training to the next level? Our Super Sweaty Speed Barre at Broche Ballet is designed for dancers who want to spend less time listening and more time moving. This class prioritizes the flow of movement, challenging your mental agility and physical stamina by shortening the time between combinations. It is the perfect solution for the intermediate to advanced dancer who wants to refine their technique while getting a legitimate cardiovascular workout.
Throughout this session, we dive straight into a comprehensive sequence starting with fundamental plié and tendu work, quickly progressing into more complex rond de jambe and fondu combinations. Because the instruction is streamlined, you will be encouraged to rely on your muscle memory and deep core engagement to maintain stability and form as the tempo increases. We focus heavily on the transition between steps, ensuring that every movement is fluid and controlled, rather than jerky or rushed. You will learn to use your breath to power through demanding relevé sequences and find your center even when the music pushes you to move faster.
As we move toward the final combinations, the complexity increases with intricate footwork and higher extensions. You will practice the développé and passé with an emphasis on proper turnout and alignment, ensuring that speed never comes at the cost of safety or aesthetic line. We wrap up the session with dynamic movements like the pas de chat, focusing on the airy quality of the jump even when your legs are tired. By the end of this Speed Barre, you will have improved your musicality, sharpened your focus, and achieved a level of conditioning that slow-paced classes simply cannot provide. Join the Broche Ballet community and discover the joy of dancing with momentum.
