About This Video
Are you looking to take your ballet training to the next level with a fast-paced, high-intensity workout? Welcome to the Super Sweaty Speed Barre at Broche Ballet. This 33-minute session is designed specifically for the dancer who knows their terminology and is ready to move without the delay of long verbal explanations.
Our focus shifts from slow-motion learning to real-time execution, challenging your cardiovascular endurance while refining your technical precision. This class covers the full spectrum of traditional barre exercises but at a significantly accelerated tempo. We begin by warming the muscles through grand pliés and quick tendus, moving swiftly into complex combinations of fondu and frappé.
By minimizing the time between sets, we keep the heart rate elevated, allowing you to build the stamina necessary for demanding center work and full variations. One of the key challenges of a speed barre is maintaining proper alignment when the pace picks up. You will learn to engage your core deeply to stabilize the torso during quick grand battements and sharp dégagés.
We also dive into the fluidity of movement, ensuring that even at high speeds, your développés remain graceful and your arabesques are fully supported through the back. At Broche Ballet, we believe that more dancing leads to better muscle memory. This practice allows you to get out of your head and into your body.
You will work on transitions, learning how to shift weight seamlessly between positions while maintaining a tall, lifted posture. Whether you are preparing for a performance or simply want a more vigorous daily practice, this speed barre provides the perfect balance of technical rigor and physical challenge.
