About This Video
Welcome to a high-energy, fast-paced session designed for dancers who want less talk and more movement. Broche Ballet’s Super Sweaty Speed Barre is an intensive 38-minute practice focused on refining technique while building stamina. This class is structured to keep you moving, challenging your muscle memory and coordination through a continuous flow of traditional exercises.
We begin with foundational work to establish proper posture and alignment. Engaging the core is essential throughout this speed-focused class to maintain balance during quick transitions. You will move through a comprehensive series of exercises including precise tendu combinations, fluid fondu, and dynamic enveloppé and développé movements.
The increased tempo of the Speed Barre format demands sharp mental focus, ensuring that every relevé and passé is executed with intentionality and grace. A key component of this class is the integration of more complex movements into the barre routine. We incorporate pirouette preparation and execution, emphasizing the importance of timing and spotting even when working at the barre.
You will also work on cambré to improve flexibility and cou-de-pied positions to sharpen your footwork. The goal is to bridge the gap between technical exercises and the artistry of center work. By minimizing instruction and maximizing dancing, this session allows you to sink into the rhythm of the music.
You will learn how to transition smoothly between different directions and steps, such as moving from a coupé into a larger extension. This repetitive, fast-paced practice is one of the most effective ways to develop the strength and automatic technique required for advanced ballet. Whether you are looking to squeeze in a workout on a busy day or want to push your cardio limits, this class provides the perfect platform to elevate your practice.
