About This Video
Elevate your daily practice with the Technical Speed Barre at Broche Ballet. Designed for the dancer who values efficiency, this 35-minute session prioritizes continuous movement and physical execution over lengthy verbal explanations. Our 'Speed Barre' philosophy is simple: less instruction, more dancing.
This allows you to stay in the flow of the music while focusing deeply on the technical nuances that define professional-level execution. Throughout this class, we delve into the fundamental building blocks of ballet technique. You will engage in a series of purposeful exercises starting with a thorough plié sequence to establish grounding and alignment.
We then move into sharp tendu and dégagé combinations, where you will learn to use the floor effectively to gain momentum and refine foot articulation. The lesson also places a heavy emphasis on hip strength and stability, crucial for mastering movements like coup de pied and attitude. A highlight of this practice is the focus on control and precision.
You will explore the intricacies of fondu, learning how to draw a perfect circle with your toes while maintaining a strong standing leg. We also work on the fluidity of rond de jambe and the elegant line of the arabesque. By emphasizing slow, controlled movements alongside faster sequences, you will develop the strength required for both stability and expression.
Proper alignment and core engagement are central themes in this Technical Speed Barre. You will receive targeted feedback on maintaining a strong posture to enhance your balance during transitions. Whether you are working on your retiré or perfecting your weight placement in a fondu, this class provides the repetition and focus needed to master complex techniques.
