About This Video
Welcome to the Super Sweaty Speed Barre class at Broche Ballet. This 37-minute session is specifically designed for the dedicated dancer who wants to dive straight into the movement without long pauses. With the philosophy of "less instruction and more dancing," this high-energy class challenges your stamina, muscle memory, and technical precision, making it an ideal choice for intermediate to advanced students who are ready to push their physical limits.
Throughout this intensive practice, we focus on the essential pillars of ballet technique. We begin with a series of pliés and cambrés to warm up the spine, find your center, and establish a strong foundation. The primary emphasis is on lengthening the body in every direction, ensuring that even at a faster pace, your alignment remains impeccable and your movements stay grounded.
As we progress into more demanding combinations involving fondu and développé, you will learn how to maintain absolute control through your hips and core, preventing any loss of form during the quick transitions that characterize a speed-focused workout. A key highlight of this Speed Barre is the integration of allongé and fluid port de bras that complement the rapid footwork. We also incorporate tombé and various turns to test your balance and spatial awareness under pressure.
The instructor provides sharp, concise corrections throughout the session, encouraging you to engage the correct muscle groups and utilize proper breathing techniques to sustain your energy through the entire routine. By the end of this session, you will have completed a comprehensive barre routine that builds strength, flexibility, and agility. This workout isn’t just about moving fast; it’s about maintaining the artistry and precision of ballet at a challenging tempo.
Whether you are preparing for a performance or simply looking to increase your cardiovascular endurance while refining your technique, this class provides the structure and intensity you need to succeed. Join us at Broche Ballet and experience a streamlined workout that keeps you moving from start to finish.
