About This Video
Welcome to a high-energy, technical challenge designed for the dancer who wants to sweat. Our Super Sweaty Speed Barre at Broche Ballet is specifically crafted to bridge the gap between slow technical exercises and the quick-fire demands of center work and performance. This 36-minute session emphasizes a philosophy of "less instruction, more dancing," allowing you to find your flow and build the stamina required for professional-level execution.
Throughout this intensive barre, we dive deep into essential movements including plié, tendu, and dégagé. The focus shifts quickly from slow control to rapid footwork, challenging your ability to maintain proper alignment and core engagement under pressure. You will work through complex combinations featuring passé and retiré positions, preparing your body for the stability needed in pirouette turns.
We pay special attention to grand battement sequences, ensuring that the power of the leg movement is balanced by a strong, quiet upper body. By practicing these movements en croix, you will develop a balanced range of motion and improved spatial awareness. The class also incorporates targeted stretching and flexibility exercises to ensure your muscles remain long and supple despite the high intensity of the workout.
At Broche Ballet, we believe that speed shouldn't come at the cost of technique. The instructor provides real-time cues on footwork, turnout, and musicality, helping you refine your artistry while pushing your physical limits. Whether you are looking to sharpen your dégagé speed or find more control in your pirouettes, this class offers the perfect environment to master your craft through repetition and rhythm.
