About This Video
Elevate your training with our Super Sweaty Speed Barre, a 34-minute intensive session designed for those who want less instruction and more dancing. At Broche Ballet, we believe that efficiency in the studio leads to mastery on the stage. This class is meticulously structured to challenge your cardiovascular endurance while demanding the precision and grace inherent in classical ballet.
The session begins at the barre, where we move through a comprehensive series of exercises ranging from foundational pliés and tendus to more complex combinations. You will focus on executing grand pliés with a long back and straight legs, ensuring your alignment remains impeccable even as the tempo increases. A key focus of this class is the relationship between speed and control.
We dive deep into the mechanics of passé and coup-de-pied, emphasizing the necessity of pushing the knee back to maintain a proper turnout. Throughout the workout, you will work on your port de bras and en bas positions to ensure your upper body remains fluid and expressive, providing a beautiful counterpoint to the rigorous footwork below. This isn't just about the burn; it is about refining your dance technique.
We explore how to transition smoothly between positions, maintaining balance during challenging shifts in weight. The class culminates in a short adagio section, allowing you to find length and breath after the high-energy barre work. This section provides a vital opportunity to practice flexibility and stretching, particularly in the hips and legs, which is essential for injury prevention and aesthetic line.
Whether you are looking to improve your foot placement in tendu or increase your speed in dégagé, this Speed Barre session offers the perfect environment to push your limits. Join us for a full-body burn that respects the tradition of ballet while embracing the intensity of a modern workout.
