About This Video
Experience the energy of a high-speed practice with the Speed Barre session at Broche Ballet. This class is designed for the dancer who wants to move beyond lengthy explanations and dive straight into the flow of movement. Our 'less instruction, more dancing' approach focuses on building cardiovascular endurance while demanding high technical precision.
' The class structure begins with invigorating grand battements and pliés to warm up the body and establish a strong core connection from the first minute. As we progress through the barre, we transition into complex combinations involving rond de jambe, fondu, and dégagé. A primary focus of this session is the relationship between the head and the supporting foot; you will practice keeping the head high and centered to maintain balance during rapid transitions.
Technical refinement is a key component of this Speed Barre. We pay close attention to the standing leg, ensuring the knee remains engaged and strong during demanding développé and fondu sequences. You will also work on the internal resistance of the legs, learning to push the knees back against each other to create that iconic balletic line.
This practice is not only about physical conditioning but also about mental focus. Mastering basic exercises at a higher speed allows you to internalize the mechanics of ballet, making your movements more instinctive and fluid. Whether you are looking to break a sweat or sharpen your muscle memory, this session provides a rigorous environment to elevate your dancing.
Join Broche Ballet for this energetic barre and discover how speed can transform your technique, strength, and artistry.
