About This Video
Experience the thrill of a fast-paced, high-energy workout with our Super Sweaty Speed Barre class at Broche Ballet. This session is specifically designed for the dancer who wants to spend less time on verbal explanations and more time in motion. By increasing the tempo of traditional exercises, this class challenges your cardiovascular endurance while demanding the highest level of technical precision.
Throughout this 34-minute practice, we flow seamlessly through a standard barre sequence, starting with warming plié and tendu combinations that immediately engage the core and lower body. The 'Speed Barre' format is excellent for building functional strength and muscle memory, as it requires you to find your alignment and turnout instinctively. We focus heavily on belly button engagement and proper pelvic positioning to ensure stability during faster dégagé and développé sequences.
You will work through complex movements including cambré to improve spinal flexibility and relevé to build ankle stability and calf strength. For those who incorporate pointe work into their training, the rapid footwork in this class serves as an ideal warm-up for strengthening the metatarsals and improving articulation. The instructor provides just enough guidance to keep you on track while allowing the rhythm of the music to drive your movement.
Whether you are looking to squeeze a full workout into a busy day or want to push your technical boundaries, this class offers a rigorous environment to refine your form. By the time you reach the final stretches and folds, you will feel a deep sense of accomplishment and physical engagement. Join us at Broche Ballet to take your practice to the next level with this high-intensity, efficient, and thoroughly rewarding ballet barre.
