About This Video
Elevate your daily practice with the Super Sweaty Speed Barre class at Broche Ballet. Designed specifically for the dancer who wants to minimize standing around and maximize movement, this fast-paced session delivers a comprehensive workout that challenges both your stamina and your technical execution. In just under 35 minutes, you will progress through a full traditional barre sequence but with a modern, high-intensity twist. The 'Speed Barre' format emphasizes fluid transitions and rapid-fire execution, requiring you to maintain a strong core and precise alignment even as the tempo increases.
Throughout the class, we dive deep into the mechanics of the développés and enveloppés. You will learn to navigate complex combinations that focus on keeping the supporting leg in a deep plié while the working leg extends with control. A major focus of this session is the integration of fondu movements. You will work on the coordination required to melt into the floor and push back up with power, integrating enveloppé transitions to challenge your hip stability and turn-out. The instructor provides real-time feedback on posture and core engagement, ensuring that while the pace is quick, the technique remains impeccable.
We also explore attitude swings en croix, emphasizing a full range of motion and the subtle control needed for a soft demi-pointe landing. You will learn the importance of timing in your landings, ensuring both heels find the floor in fifth position simultaneously to maintain balance. Whether you are looking to improve your cardiovascular fitness or refine your technical execution of frappés, ronds de jambe, and arabesque, this class provides the perfect platform. It is an ideal way to fit a high-intensity ballet workout into a busy schedule, leaving you feeling strong, stretched, and accomplished. Join us at Broche Ballet and experience how a faster pace can lead to deeper focus and better results.
