About This Video
Are you ready to take your ballet training to the next level? Our Super Sweaty Speed Barre at Broche Ballet is specifically designed for the dancer who wants to keep their heart rate up while maintaining rigorous technical standards. Unlike traditional classes that pause for lengthy explanations, this session adopts a "less instruction, more dancing" approach, allowing you to find your flow and build substantial stamina through continuous movement.
Throughout this 37-minute practice, we dive deep into the core elements of the barre with a focus on efficiency and precision. You will work through complex sequences involving the grand plié, focusing on the depth of the movement and the control required to rise with grace. We emphasize the enveloppé and movements to the devant, ensuring that your leg lines remain sharp and your turnout is active from the hip throughout every transition.
The class challenges your coordination as we move into intensive fondu and battement exercises. Even at a higher tempo, the instructor provides real-time feedback and corrections, helping you refine your alignment and technical proficiency. One of the highlights of this session is the focus on port de bras.
It is not just about what the legs are doing; we work on the fluidity of the arms and the palm over transitions to ensure a cohesive, artistic performance. As the class progresses, we move into the grand battement, where the challenge is to maintain a stable core and quiet upper body while the legs reach their full height. This Speed Barre is perfect for intermediate to advanced students who are already familiar with standard ballet terminology and are looking for a way to integrate their knowledge into a more athletic, continuous practice.
By the end of the session, you will have engaged every muscle group, from the articulation of the feet in tendu to the explosive power required for larger movements. Join us at Broche Ballet and experience a class that pushes your boundaries and improves your movement quality.
