About This Video
Welcome to the Super Sweaty Speed Barre, a high-intensity session designed for dancers who want to keep moving. At Broche Ballet, we understand that sometimes you want to skip the lengthy explanations and get straight to the movement. This 38-minute class focuses on the flow of the barre, minimizing verbal instruction to maximize your time spent dancing.
This is the perfect practice for building stamina, refining muscle memory, and finding your flow through a series of continuous, challenging combinations. We dive straight into a comprehensive barre routine set to rhythmic waltz music. You will work through essential movements including plié, tendu, and battement tendu with an emphasis on crisp execution and musicality.
The 'speed' aspect of this class challenges your brain-body connection, requiring quick weight shifts and precise footwork in movements like en cloche and petit battement. Throughout the session, the focus remains on the finer details of ballet technique despite the pace. We explore the 'melting' quality of fondu and the intricate folding action of enveloppé.
Special attention is given to the stability of the standing leg during développé and maintaining proper alignment of the head and torso to ensure balance. Whether you are looking for a vigorous morning warm-up or a focused technique session to squeeze into a busy day, this class provides the structure you need. Experience the joy of fluid movement and the satisfaction of a challenging workout that respects the traditions of classical ballet while embracing a modern, efficient pace.
Prepare to sweat, focus, and elevate your dancing to the next level.
