About This Video
Looking for a ballet workout that pushes your limits while focusing on pure movement? Welcome to the Super Sweaty Speed Barre at Broche Ballet. This session is designed specifically for the dancer who already knows the choreography of the barre and is ready to focus on flow, stamina, and technical precision.
Unlike a traditional technical breakdown class, this session prioritizes the philosophy of less instruction and more dancing, allowing you to find your rhythm and build internal heat quickly. The class follows a traditional barre structure but moves with an intentional, rigorous pace. We begin with warming pliés and tendu exercises to establish your center and engage your core from the first note.
As the tempo increases, you will work through complex dégagé combinations and fluid développé sequences that challenge your balance and extension. We pay special attention to cambré movements, ensuring that your upper body remains expressive and fluid even as your legs work at a high intensity. One of the highlights of this session is the focus on grand battement.
We practice landing and rising from plié positions in a smooth, controlled manner, ensuring that your transitions are both powerful and cushioned. By minimizing the verbal corrections between exercises, we create a sweat-inducing environment that mimics the physical demands of a full performance. Whether you are a seasoned adult dancer or an intermediate student looking to challenge your cardiovascular stamina, this speed barre provides the perfect balance of technical discipline and physical challenge.
Get ready to sweat, refine your tendu close, and master the art of continuous, fluid motion.
