Welcome to Part 3 of our Sylvia variation series at Broche Ballet. This 45-minute practice session is designed for intermediate and advanced dancers who are ready to dive deep into the intricate details of this classical masterpiece. We focus on refining complex sequences that demand both technical precision and artistic flair. Throughout the class, we break down the iconic temps de flèche section, focusing on the coordination between the pas marché and the piqué entrance to ensure stability and height.
We also emphasize the rhythmic sharpness of the double frappé movements. You will work through combinations involving piqué, tombé, and rond de jambe, learning how to maintain clean footwork while transitioning into fluid pas de bourrée and sous-sus. Our instructor provides detailed corrections on the placement of the attitude and allongé, ensuring your lines reflect the classical elegance of the Sylvia character.
The session is structured to build your muscle memory through repetitive runs-throughs and group practice. We cover essential transitions including couru steps, sissonne, and piqué arabesque, helping you connect individual movements into a seamless dance routine. By the end of this class, you will have a stronger grasp of the Sylvia choreography, improved stamina, and a deeper understanding of the musicality required for this variation.
