About This Video
Push your physical limits and sharpen your technique with Broche Ballet’s Super Sweaty Speed Barre. This intensive 37-minute session is designed for dancers who already have a firm grasp of the basics and are looking for a workout that prioritizes continuous movement over lengthy explanations. In this class, we trade deep-dive tutorials for high-repetition exercises that build both cardiovascular stamina and muscle memory. The goal is to keep the energy high from start to finish.
The class kicks off with a vigorous series of pliés and relevés to warm up the joints and establish your center of gravity. From there, the pace quickens as we move into tendu and dégagé combinations designed to challenge your footwork and articulation. The focus remains on maintaining a solid core and proper alignment even as the tempo increases. You will work through essential barre movements including rond de jambe, fondu, and retiré, focusing on the fluidity of the 'melt' and the precision of the 'rise' without sacrificing speed.
One of the core challenges of a speed-focused class is maintaining balance during rapid transitions. Our instructor provides targeted cues to help you keep your heel under your foot and your knee lifted during relevé. You will practice lifting into a high retiré with strong, engaged arms, learning to descend with control and grace. The session also incorporates grand battement to engage the full range of motion in the legs while testing your stability. By minimizing the downtime between combinations, you are encouraged to internalize the choreography quickly and stay present in every movement. Whether you are prepping for a performance or simply want to elevate your daily practice, this class offers a comprehensive workout that leaves you feeling accomplished and energized. Finish the session with a dedicated stretching routine to improve flexibility and ensure proper recovery. Join the Broche Ballet community and take your training to the next level today.
