About This Video
Elevate your daily practice with the Super Sweaty Speed Barre at Broche Ballet. This high-energy session is specifically designed for the dancer who wants to maximize their time while building serious cardiovascular stamina. In just 35 minutes, Julie guides you through a comprehensive full barre that emphasizes quick repetitions and fluid transitions. This class isn't about long-winded technical breakdowns; it’s about the flow. By focusing on simple combinations with minimal explanation between sets, you are encouraged to find your rhythm and maintain it from start to finish.
We cover the essential elements of classical ballet technique, starting with the initial plié and progressing through tendu, dégagé, and more complex movements. A key focus of this Speed Barre is muscular endurance. By performing more repetitions than a standard class, you will challenge your turnout muscles and build the strength required for longer allegro sequences. We place a particular emphasis on maintaining a lifted feeling through the hips and iron-clad control in the upper body, even as the legs move quickly through fondu, retiré, and développé.
At Broche Ballet, we believe that speed should never come at the cost of form. Throughout this video, you will receive constant reminders to stretch through your toes and reach for height in your poses without compromising your alignment. You will learn how to execute quick movements with precision, ensuring that your technique remains sharp even when your heart rate rises. This practice is perfect for those days when you need an efficient 'hit' of ballet but are short on time. Whether you are using this as a warm-up for center work or as a standalone workout, you will leave the barre feeling stronger, more coordinated, and thoroughly challenged. Join Julie and see how a fast-paced barre can transform your control, precision, and presence on the dance floor.
