About This Video
Transitioning from the safety of the barre to the center of the floor is a significant milestone in any dancer's en pointe journey. " This class is designed to help you bridge the gap between static exercises and the fluid, dynamic movements required for center work. " One of the most common challenges when moving en pointe without support is hesitation.
Our instructor guides you through the process of committing to the first step, teaching you how the first three steps of a bourrée set the pace for the entire sequence. You will learn to aim for the "second foot," a technique that ensures you ride your own momentum rather than fighting against it. Throughout the class, we explore how to adjust your tempo to suit your individual needs while maintaining technical integrity.
We move through various center exercises, including sus-sous transitions and turns, emphasizing that strength and readiness are the keys to a successful launch. By focusing on the preparation and the initial push, you will find that maintaining balance and control during complex movements becomes significantly easier. Whether you are refining your tombé or working on the speed of your pas de bourrée, this class offers the feedback and guidance needed to build real confidence.
Join Broche Ballet as we refine your technique, improve your physical coordination, and help you find your own pace in the center. It is time to let go of the barre and discover the freedom of movement en pointe.
