About This Video
Welcome to the Super Sweaty Speed Barre at Broche Ballet, a class designed for dancers who are ready to minimize the verbal instruction and maximize their time in motion. This 35-minute intensive is perfect for intermediate and advanced students who want to push their cardiovascular endurance while refining their technical precision. By moving quickly through the traditional barre structure, you will develop the muscle memory and stamina required for complex center work and performance.
Throughout this session, we emphasize the importance of maintaining proper alignment and core engagement, even at a brisk tempo. We begin with grounded exercises like grand plié and battement tendu to establish a strong foundation. As the energy builds, we move into more intricate combinations involving battement fondu, développé, and enveloppé. These movements are designed to challenge your control and flexibility, requiring a deep connection to the floor and a constant engagement of the supporting leg.
At Broche Ballet, we believe that efficiency is key to artistry. This class focuses on smooth transitions, teaching you how to move from a sharp dégagé into a fluid relevé passé without losing your center. You will work on your balance and turnout throughout, ensuring that every movement is executed with the grace and strength characteristic of professional ballet.
Whether you are looking for a vigorous daily workout or a way to sharpen your technique under pressure, this Speed Barre provides the perfect environment. Expect to work hard, sweat, and find a new level of fluidity in your dancing. By focusing on the rhythm of the music and the natural flow of the exercises, you will leave the barre feeling centered, strong, and ready for whatever the center brings.
