About This Video
Welcome to a high-energy session at Broche Ballet designed for dancers who are ready to move. Our Speed Barre series is specifically crafted for those who have mastered the basics and are looking to challenge their stamina, muscle memory, and technical precision. This class follows the philosophy of 'less instruction, more dancing,' allowing you to find a rhythmic flow through a comprehensive sequence of traditional exercises.
We begin with foundational movements like the plié and tendu, quickly transitioning into more complex sequences including the cloche and frappé, where we emphasize a sharp, precise action to build lower body strength. As we progress through the session, we dive into the melting quality of the fondu, ensuring a smooth transition while maintaining a rock-solid standing leg. A highlight of this class is the developpé de fondu en croix combination, which challenges your balance and core engagement.
For those looking to push their boundaries, the instructor provides options to add pirouettes and relevé work, injecting both height and drama into your practice. Throughout this 35-minute session, the focus remains on finding the correct body shape. Whether you are executing a coupé or a passé, the goal is consistency—finding that exact spot every single time.
We pay close attention to the orientation of the standing knee, especially during pirouette preparations, to ensure maximum stability and safety. This 'super sweaty' session is more than just a workout; it is an opportunity to refine your artistry under pressure. By the time you reach the final sous-sus and finish, you will feel more connected to your center and more confident in your technical execution.
