About This Video
Welcome to a high-octane session at Broche Ballet designed to push your technical limits while building serious cardiovascular stamina. Our Super Sweaty Speed Barre is not your typical slow-burn exercise; it is a fast-paced, physically demanding class that prioritizes the philosophy of less instruction and more dancing. If you are looking to bridge the gap between technical drills and the fluid, powerful movement required for center work and grand allegro, this 36-minute session is for you.
Throughout this class, we dive straight into complex combinations that challenge your mind and body. We start with quick plié and relevé sequences, emphasizing the importance of staying over your toes even as the tempo increases. The focus shifts quickly to the mechanics of the floor.
You will learn how to use floor pressure to your advantage, pushing off the ground to find explosive power in movements like grand battement and frappé. By mastering this connection with the floor, you gain the control necessary to execute rapid-fire pas de bourrée and changé transitions without losing your form. A key component of this class is the integration of cardio.
Traditional ballet training often focuses on static strength, but our Speed Barre ensures you are building the endurance needed for long variations and performances. We move through tendu, dégagé, and fondu with minimal rest, forcing the core to remain engaged and the breath to stay steady. Your instructor provides constant encouragement, guiding you through the nuances of rond de jambe and passé while pushing you to maintain precision under fatigue.
At Broche Ballet, we believe that technique should never sacrifice energy. This class is designed to make you sweat, refine your coupé work, and help you connect with the music in a whole new way. Prepare to find your flow, harness your power, and leave the barre feeling stronger and more agile.
