About This Video
Are you ready to turn up the heat and refine your technique? Welcome to Super Sweaty Speed Barre at Broche Ballet. This high-energy class is designed for the dancer who wants less talking and more moving.
We strip away the lengthy explanations to focus on the flow of movement, building stamina and muscle memory through a fast-paced sequence of traditional exercises. Throughout this 36-minute session, we dive deep into the mechanics of classical ballet. We start with essential plié and tendu exercises, quickly moving into more complex combinations.
You will work through fondu sequences that challenge your stability and turnout, followed by développé exercises that focus on the height and control of your extensions. Particular attention is paid to the arabesque—we emphasize maintaining a square hip while achieving maximum rotation and a beautifully straight line in the working leg. Our Speed Barre isn't just about speed; it's about precision under pressure.
As we move through cambré and grand bras, you will find opportunities to stretch and find breath within the movement. We also tackle footwork with coupé and pas de bourrée, ensuring your transitions are as sharp as your positions. This class is an excellent way to fit a full-body ballet workout into a busy schedule while maintaining the high standards of alignment and artistry that Broche Ballet is known for.
By focusing on both the left and right sides with minimal downtime, you will improve your coordination and cardiovascular endurance. This session ensures that every muscle is engaged, from the tips of your toes to the crown of your head. Whether you are looking to maintain your skills between studio classes or want a vigorous home practice, this barre will leave you feeling strong, flexible, and thoroughly danced out.
