About This Video
Welcome to a high-energy session designed to push your technique and stamina to the limit. Our Super Sweaty Speed Barre at Broche Ballet is specifically crafted for dancers who want less verbal instruction and more continuous movement. In this 39-minute practice, we move quickly through traditional exercises, focusing on the agility required for advanced allegro and the precision needed for rapid center work.
The core of this class revolves around the Speed Barre technique, which emphasizes quick transitions and rapid changes of direction. You will dive deep into a series of grand battement combinations that challenge your core stability and leg extension at a brisk tempo. We utilize the lively mazurka rhythm—a characteristic triple-meter time signature—to help sharpen your musicality and footwork.
Throughout the session, you will work through intricate sequences involving fondu, enveloppé, and rond de jambe. We place a particular focus on the transition into passé and pirouette positions, ensuring that even at high speeds, your alignment remains impeccable. These exercises are not just about physical exertion; they are about training the brain to process complex sequences with minimal preparation time.
By stripping away long explanations, this class allows you to find your flow and stay in the zone. You will practice maintaining a strong turnout and a grounded supporting leg while your working leg moves through grand battement and dégagé patterns. We also incorporate cambré movements to ensure flexibility and grace are maintained despite the cardiovascular challenge.
Whether you are looking to improve your cardiovascular health, sharpen your mental focus, or simply get a great workout, this Speed Barre class offers a professional and encouraging environment to grow. Join us as we sweat, move, and master the art of fast-paced ballet technique.
