About This Video
Welcome to Broche Ballet’s Super Sweaty Speed Barre, a high-energy session designed for dancers who want less instruction and more dancing. This class is specifically tailored for those who have a solid grasp of ballet fundamentals and are looking to push their endurance and technical precision in a condensed, fast-paced format. By picking up the tempo, we challenge your muscle memory and cognitive focus, ensuring that every movement is executed with both speed and grace.
Throughout this intensive barre practice, we dive deep into essential movements including plié, tendu, and passé. A significant portion of the class focuses on the fluidity and strength required for fondu and développé. Unlike a standard beginner class, our Speed Barre minimizes verbal instruction to allow for continuous movement, mimicking the flow of a professional company class.
You will be encouraged to maintain your alignment, specifically keeping your ribs closed and your stomach engaged to support your center of gravity. Attention to detail is paramount, even at high speeds. We emphasize the importance of the standing leg, particularly during demanding exercises like fondu and demi-rond de jambe.
Keeping the knees back during pliés and ensuring the arm remains open and relaxed are key technical focuses that will help you achieve a more professional line. This class also incorporates elements of physical conditioning and Pilates-inspired movements to strengthen the core and improve overall balance. By the end of this 35-minute session, you will have worked through a full range of barre exercises that prioritize precision with height and harmony in transition.
Whether you are looking to supplement your regular training or need a quick, effective workout that gets your heart rate up, the Super Sweaty Speed Barre at Broche Ballet provides the perfect environment to refine your technique and build stamina. Prepare to work hard, sweat, and find your flow on the floor.
