About This Video
Elevate your daily practice with our Speed Barre session at Broche Ballet, a unique class designed for the dancer who wants to minimize instruction and maximize movement. This 41-minute workout is set to a beautiful score of Bach, providing a rhythmic and rigorous environment to sharpen your technique. We dive straight into essential movements, beginning with a focus on fluid port de bras and sharp tendu combinations to warm up the feet and upper body. As the tempo increases, we challenge your coordination with complex sequences involving fondu, enveloppé, and développé, requiring both strength and grace under pressure.
Throughout this session, the emphasis remains on maintaining pristine alignment and control, even as the speed increases. You will work through various directions and combinations, focusing on the core principles of ballet such as turnout, extension, and weight placement. We incorporate cambré and passé work to refine your silhouette, while pirouette preparations and turns test your stability. The session culminates in a grand jeté and a final balance, pushing you to find stillness and precision after an intense cardiovascular workout. This class is perfect for dancers looking to build stamina while polishing their muscle memory in a traditional yet fast-moving format.
