About This Video
Looking for a ballet workout that prioritizes movement and flow over lengthy explanations? Welcome to the Super Sweaty Speed Barre at Broche Ballet. This 40-minute practice is designed for dancers who already know the basics and are ready to challenge their stamina, technique, and coordination in a fast-paced environment. By reducing the time spent on verbal instruction, we maximize the time spent at the barre, allowing you to find a true 'dancer’s high' while refining your form.
Throughout the class, we move through a comprehensive series of exercises including plié, relevé, and complex footwork patterns. You will work through développé and fondu sequences that demand both strength and grace, followed by powerful grand battement to improve your range of motion and spinal stability. The 'speed' aspect of this class isn't just about moving fast—it's about the efficiency of transitions and the ability to maintain proper turnout and alignment even as the heart rate rises.
We place a special emphasis on the quality of your footwork. You will learn to 'massage the floor' with your feet during tendu and dégagé, ensuring that every movement is grounded and intentional. We also focus on the mechanics of the rise, practicing a sharp 'flick' to reach demi-pointe quickly and securely, which is essential for jumps and stable sous-sus positions. This class also incorporates balance challenges to test your core control and poise. Whether you are looking to fit a full ballet workout into a busy schedule or simply want to push your physical limits, this session provides the perfect blend of technical rigor and athletic intensity. Get ready to sweat, move, and elevate your ballet technique with our expert guidance.
