About This Video
Elevate your daily practice with our Super Sweaty Speed Barre, a signature Broche Ballet class designed for those who want to spend less time listening and more time moving. This 35-minute session is crafted for the dancer who has already mastered the basics and is looking to challenge their stamina, muscle memory, and technical precision. By increasing the tempo, we force the body to rely on core engagement and proper alignment, ensuring that every movement is as efficient as it is beautiful.
Throughout this fast-paced barre, you will flow through a comprehensive series of exercises including plié, fondu, passé, and développé. The instructor provides brief, targeted corrections, emphasizing the importance of keeping the hips under and maintaining stillness in the upper body. We focus specifically on the upper back and armpits to find that elusive 'quiet' upper body while the legs perform demanding sequences like grand battement and complex brush combinations.
This class isn't just about the sweat; it's about refining your musicality and transitions. You will learn to hold your belly button and maintain control during quick shifts in weight, ensuring your technique remains crisp even when the heart rate climbs. Whether you are looking for a vigorous physical conditioning session or a way to sharpen your technical execution under pressure, this Speed Barre offers the perfect blend of athletic challenge and artistic refinement.
Join us at the barre and experience the exhilaration of a class that moves as fast as you do.
