About This Video
Welcome to a high-energy practice designed for the dancer who wants to keep moving. In this Super Sweaty Speed Barre session from Broche Ballet, we prioritize flow and rhythm, offering a streamlined approach to your daily technique. With less verbal instruction and more continuous movement, this class is perfect for intermediate dancers looking to build stamina while refining the essential elements of their barre work.
The session begins with a focus on preparation and alignment, moving quickly into dynamic sequences that challenge your muscle memory. A key highlight of this class is the detailed exploration of pivoting at the barre. You will practice the proper technique for picking up the back foot and rotating toward and away from the barre, a fundamental skill that translates directly to improved agility in center combinations.
We also delve into the nuances of cambré and développé, emphasizing the importance of a long leg line and precise control. Whether you are working through a fondu or reaching into a deep side stretch, the goal is to maintain professional-grade form even as the tempo increases. By focusing on reaching out and stretching forward, you will enhance your flexibility and develop the fluidity required for more advanced choreography.
Throughout the 35-minute practice, you will be encouraged to maintain your posture and focus on the precision of every movement, from the initial brush of a tendu to the final retiré. This class is an excellent way to transition from basic exercises to more complex movements, helping you execute transitions with confidence and grace. Join us at Broche Ballet to elevate your training and feel the burn of a truly productive speed session.
