About This Video
Welcome to the Broche Ballet Speed Barre, a high-energy, 37-minute session designed for dancers who want to spend less time listening and more time moving. This class is specifically crafted to bridge the gap between technical drills and the fluid artistry of performance. By focusing on "less instruction, more dancing," we allow you to find your rhythm and push your physical limits in a supportive, professional environment.
The session begins with a rigorous warm-up involving plié and grand plié, where the focus is on deep control and core engagement. From there, the pace quickens. You will work through complex tendu and dégagé patterns that require quick feet and sharp mental focus.
We emphasize the "sweaty" aspect of this barre, ensuring that your cardiovascular system is engaged just as much as your muscles. A key highlight of this class is the focus on leg fluidity and hip mobility. During ronde de jambe and swinging movements, you will learn to loosen the hip joint, allowing the leg to move freely without tension.
We challenge your balance with fondu sequences and sous-sus, demanding stability and precision. You will also practice changing directions smoothly, a vital skill for center work and choreography. Throughout the workout, we maintain the high standards of Broche Ballet technique.
We look at the nuances of alignment, the importance of a straight supporting leg, and the precision of every brush through the floor. While we might encounter the "devil of pain" during those high-repetition sets, the result is increased stamina and a deeper connection to your ballet foundation. This class is an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced dancers looking to maintain their technique or for those preparing for more demanding variations.
Let the music guide you through this intensive barre and experience the exhilaration of a truly athletic ballet practice.
