About This Video
Experience the thrill of a high-intensity workout with our Super Sweaty Speed Barre session at Broche Ballet. This class is specifically crafted for the dancer who wants to minimize standing still and maximize their time in motion. With a duration of approximately 39 minutes, this practice moves quickly through traditional sequences, challenging both your muscle memory and cardiovascular endurance.
The core of this session revolves around the 'Speed Barre' concept—a series of rapid-fire movements that bridge the gap between technical exercise and fluid dancing. We start with foundational work but quickly increase the tempo for movements like tendu, dégagé, and pas de cheval. The instructor emphasizes proper alignment even at high speeds, ensuring that your technique remains sharp as you sweat.
A key focus of today's class is the balotté movement. You will learn how to coordinate the jump with specific head motions to add that professional flair to the step, making it look both effortless and fancy. We also delve into complex fondu and rond de jambe combinations that require significant core stability and leg strength.
For those looking to improve their rotation, we incorporate pirouettes and turns, including en dehors and en dedans, directly into the barre work to provide a seamless transition to center practice. Whether you are working on the extension of your développé or the precision of your passé, this class offers the perfect environment to test your limits. We even spice up the adagio with additional turns to keep your mind as engaged as your body.
Join us for a session where the music doesn't stop, and the focus remains on the pure joy of movement. Perfect for intermediate and advanced students, this Speed Barre will leave you feeling energized, accomplished, and ready for more.
