About This Video
In the world of classical dance, we often focus solely on the physical execution of a plié or the height of an arabesque. However, at Broche Ballet, we believe that the mind is the dancer’s most powerful tool. This 19-minute guided meditation is designed specifically for ballet dancers who want to deepen their practice by shifting their internal dialogue.
Instead of rushing to find immediate answers or simply trying to fix a perceived mistake, we explore the transformative power of asking better questions. By lingering in the inquiry, we allow deeper insights to surface regarding our alignment and artistic expression. When we change the questions we ask ourselves during barre work or center practice, we unlock new perspectives on our unique anatomy and technique.
" By focusing on the relationship between opposing forces—valuing strength and control as much as mobility—we find a more balanced and sustainable way to move. This mental shift turns a standard exercise into a profound exploration of physicality. This session invites you into a quiet, still space to explore these insights.
We delve into the concept of "blissful dissatisfaction"—a state where you are deeply appreciative of your current progress but remain curious and eager for the next level of refinement. This mindset is a vital sign of growth for any artist. Whether you are working on your relevé or your port de bras, these mindful inquiries help you see hidden opportunities for improvement even in your daily life outside the studio.
Even five minutes of mindful practice can bridge the gap between a frustrating session and a technical breakthrough. Join us as we explore the intersection of mindfulness and movement, and learn how the right questions can become the key to unlocking your full potential.
