About This Video
Are you ready to turn up the heat in your daily practice? Our Super Sweaty Speed Barre is designed specifically for dancers who are comfortable with the fundamentals and ready to challenge their stamina and muscle memory. At Broche Ballet, we understand that sometimes you just want to move.
This class cuts back on the lengthy explanations and dives straight into the flow, allowing you to focus on the physical sensation of the movement and the rhythm of the music. Throughout this session, we move through a comprehensive series of exercises including detailed pliés, sharp tendus, and elegant arabesques. Because the pace is faster, you will find yourself working harder to maintain proper technical alignment.
We place a heavy emphasis on hip placement and ensuring your shoulders remain even with the ground, especially during the more demanding sequences like the grand finale. This isn't just a cardio workout; it is a technical refinement session. You will practice movements en croix, mastering the coordination of steps and arm positions.
We also delve into développé and passé work, requiring precise execution even as your heart rate rises. By focusing on holding your plié and tendu positions for extended periods between transitions, you will build the deep muscular strength necessary for more advanced center work. As you move through tombé, attitude, and allongé sequences, our instructors provide constant encouragement to keep your energy high and your focus sharp.
We also emphasize proper breathing techniques to help you conserve energy during this intensive practice. Whether you are looking to increase the height of your legs in arabesque or simply want more fluid transitions between steps, this speed barre provides the perfect environment to push your boundaries. Join us at Broche Ballet and experience the joy of continuous, focused movement.
