About This Video
Welcome to the Super Sweaty Speed Barre session at Broche Ballet, a 35-minute intensive designed for dancers who want to spend less time listening and more time moving. This class is specifically structured with simpler combinations to allow you to shift your internal focus entirely toward technical precision, alignment, and movement quality. By stripping away complex choreography, we create space for you to master the nuances of every plié, tendu, and fondu.
Throughout this high-energy practice, we emphasize the importance of maintaining a neutral pelvis. This foundational element is crucial for stability and proper muscle engagement, especially during dynamic movements like grand cloche or grand rond de jambe. You will be encouraged to find length in the working leg, reaching through the tips of the toes even as you descend from a relevé or move through a demi-pointe transition.
This constant opposition helps build the lean strength and control required for advanced center work. The Speed Barre format is excellent for building cardiovascular stamina and muscle memory. With fewer breaks and concise cues, you will find yourself in a flow state, allowing the body to take over.
We cover a comprehensive range of exercises including fondu and stretch combinations, tendu brushes, and arabesque holds. Special attention is given to the alignment of the knees over the toes during side-to-side movements, ensuring joint safety while maximizing turnout. Whether you are looking to refine your technique or simply need a vigorous workout that fits into a busy schedule, this class offers the perfect balance of challenge and refinement.
Join the Broche Ballet community as we push through the sweat to find the grace in every movement. Prepare to leave the barre feeling stronger, more aligned, and thoroughly worked out.
