About This Video
Get ready to move with Broche Ballet’s Super Sweaty Speed Barre. This 39-minute intensive practice is designed specifically for intermediate and advanced dancers who are ready to dive straight into the work. Unlike traditional classes that pause for lengthy explanations, this Speed Barre focuses on a less instruction, more dancing philosophy.
This approach allows you to maintain your heart rate, build stamina, and find a true sense of flow throughout the entire session. The class navigates through a comprehensive barre sequence, starting with warm-up pliés and moving rapidly into tendus, dégagés, and ronds de jambe. The instructor emphasizes the importance of timing, particularly the transition between staying down in a plié and hitting the peak of a relevé.
By focusing on these micro-moments of musicality, you will develop a more professional and polished quality of movement. One of the core focuses of this session is the execution of grand battements and développés. You will learn to use the floor as a resistance tool to launch the leg with power and control, ensuring that your extensions are as stable as they are high.
We also delve into the nuances of transitions, such as the smooth slide of the foot up the leg from a coupé to a passé, ensuring every movement is connected and intentional rather than just a series of isolated shapes. As the title suggests, this barre is designed to make you work. It serves as both a technical refinement tool and a physical conditioning workout.
By repeating these complex combinations at a faster tempo, you will challenge your muscle memory and improve your ability to find balance quickly. This class is an excellent choice for daily practice or as a vigorous warm-up before a center-work session or rehearsal. Join us at Broche Ballet to push your boundaries and experience the joy of continuous movement.
