About This Video
Are you ready to elevate your heart rate while refining your technique? The Super Sweaty Speed Barre at Broche Ballet is designed for dancers who want less verbal instruction and more continuous movement. This 35-minute session challenges your muscle memory and stamina by moving swiftly through a traditional series of exercises.
By maintaining a brisk tempo, you will learn to find your center and stability more efficiently, simulating the demands of center work and complex choreography. Throughout the class, we focus on the essential foundations of ballet. You will perform sharp grand battements, controlled développés, and fluid pliés.
A key focus of this speed barre is the engagement of the back of the hip. Understanding how to activate these deep muscles is crucial for executing jumps and turns with precision. We also emphasize the relationship between your core and your posture; as you work through sequences involving passé and relevé, you will feel how a strong core prevents injury and improves your overall line.
We address common technical challenges, such as maintaining a forward heel in your turnout and keeping the shoulders relaxed even as the feet reach higher positions. This class is not just a physical workout; it is a mental exercise in focus and coordination. Whether you are looking to build strength in your legs or refine your alignment under pressure, this session provides a comprehensive conditioning experience that leaves you feeling accomplished and energized.
Join us as we brush through each movement with intention and grace, pushing the boundaries of what you can achieve at the barre.
