About This Video
Welcome to our festive Super Sweaty Speed Barre, a unique Broche Ballet session designed for dancers who crave a high-energy workout with minimal interruptions. This 34-minute class is specifically tailored for those who already know the steps and want to focus on the joy of continuous movement. By trading lengthy explanations for more time at the barre, you will challenge your cardiovascular endurance while refining your classical technique in a flow-state environment.
Set to a delightful soundtrack of holiday classics, this class moves briskly through the foundational elements of a traditional ballet barre. We begin with warm-ups including plié and tendu to wake up the muscles, quickly progressing into more complex movements like développé and fondu. The speed element of this class isn't just about moving fast; it is about finding precision, core stability, and control within a quicker tempo.
You will work on your demi-pointe stability and foot articulation, ensuring that every movement is supported by correct alignment and turnout. As we move into grand battements, the focus shifts to maintaining a quiet upper body and fluid cambré movements while the legs find their full range of motion. We also integrate passé and battement sequences that emphasize sharp footwork and muscular engagement.
Because this class is designed to be super sweaty, it serves as an excellent way to maintain your fitness levels and muscle tone during the busy holiday season. At Broche Ballet, we believe that adult dancers benefit from varying their training intensity. This Speed Barre format allows you to practice the artistry of ballet while getting the physical benefits of an aerobic workout.
Whether you are prepping for a performance or simply looking to stay active during December, this session provides the perfect balance of technical rigor and festive fun.
