About This Video
Welcome to Broche Ballet’s Super Sweaty Speed Barre, a high-energy session designed for dancers who want to bridge the gap between technical drills and artistic fluidity. This class is uniquely structured for "less instruction, more dancing," making it ideal for the intermediate to advanced dancer who knows the basics and is ready to push their stamina and coordination. By moving quickly through combinations, you will develop the fast-twitch muscle response necessary for complex center work and allegro.
The session begins with a dynamic warm-up to prepare the body for the fast-paced work ahead. You will move through a traditional barre sequence, including refined pliés, sharp tendus, and elegant ronds de jambe. Because of the accelerated pace, you will need to maintain rigorous core engagement and precise body alignment to stay on top of the music.
The instructor focuses on the speed aspect, challenging you to execute dégagés and frappés with crispness and clarity. Beyond the speed, we delve into complex movements like arabesque stability and various footwork transitions. You will practice combinations involving tombé and battu movements, emphasizing the importance of a strong relevé and controlled landings.
This isn't just a workout; it's a technical refinement session. We cover cambré to enhance spinal flexibility and grand rond de jambe to improve hip mobility and strength. By the end of this 35-minute class, you will feel more connected to your center and better equipped to handle quick combinations in the center.
Whether you are training for performance or simply want a challenging home practice, this Speed Barre provides the perfect blend of cardio and classical technique. Prepare to sweat, focus, and elevate your ballet practice to the next level.
