About This Video
Deciphering professional ballet choreography can feel like learning a new language. In Class #14 of our choreography series at Broche Ballet, we take a deep dive into a sophisticated rond de jambe combination featured during World Ballet Day. This class isn't just about following steps; it is about developing the analytical skills necessary to translate what you see on screen into your own body's movement.
We begin by breaking down the core elements of the combination. You will explore how to identify the foundational movements, such as the initial plié and the subsequent rond de jambe. By dissecting the choreography into manageable segments, you can better understand the rhythmic structure and the transition between steps like the jeté and arabesque.
This method of analysis is essential for any dancer looking to improve their retention and artistic expression. A key component of this class is observing how professional dancers interpret the same sequence. By comparing different versions of the Royal Ballet’s combinations, you’ll learn that there isn't just one correct way to move.
Instead, we focus on identifying the similarities in technique while appreciating the unique artistic flourishes each dancer brings to the barre. This helps you build confidence in your own interpretation, moving away from mimicry toward true artistry. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of self-correction and modification.
Especially for adult dancers, understanding how to adapt a movement to suit your current physical needs—without losing the essence of the choreography—is a vital skill. Whether you are refining your rond de jambe jeté or perfecting your line in an arabesque, this class provides the tools to practice with intention and intelligence. Join us at Broche Ballet to transform the way you watch, learn, and perform ballet choreography from professional resources.
