Super Sweaty Speed Barre: 35-Minute Ballet Workout

Looking for an efficient way to fit your ballet practice into a busy schedule? Welcome to the Super Sweaty Speed Barre with Julie from Broche Ballet. This 35-minute intensive class is designed to give you a full barre workout in record time, focusing on high energy and continuous movement. While the combinations are kept relatively simple, the pace is brisk, with minimal time spent on long explanations. This makes it the perfect session for dancers who want to get straight to the work and feel the burn.

Throughout this class, we dive deep into the mechanics of balance and alignment. You will work through a series of traditional exercises including pliés, tendus, and grand battements. A key focus of this session is upper body stability; Julie emphasizes controlling your upper back to prevent leaning forward, especially during dégagé and grand battement sequences. By maintaining a strong core and engaged upper body, you will find greater stability and ease in your transitions. This session is specifically tailored to help you maintain a small cambré back to prevent forward leaning even during a slower développé pace.

We also prioritize flexibility and control in the lower body. You will learn how to widen the hamstrings during stretches to achieve a deeper, safer range of motion. Julie provides expert cues on keeping the hip down while the knee stays up during side stretches, ensuring proper anatomical alignment. The class also incorporates relevés to build ankle strength and push-off power. Whether you are at home or in the studio, this Speed Barre is an excellent tool for building stamina and physical awareness. By the end of the 35 minutes, you will have covered a comprehensive range of motion, from the fine details of footwork to the expansive power of large leg movements.
