About This Video
Welcome to the Weekend Intermediate Ballet Barre at Broche Ballet, a comprehensive 46-minute class designed to challenge and inspire the dedicated dancer. This session focuses on the intersection of strength and fluidity, pushing beyond the basics into intermediate technical nuances. Throughout the workout, you will engage in a variety of exercises that emphasize the fundamental plié, tendu, and dégagé while building toward high-energy sequences.
One of the central pillars of this class is the grand battement. Our instructor guides you through these large kicks with a focus on maintaining a quiet, stable core and a strong supporting leg. You will explore combinations that blend grand battement with passé and développé, requiring precise timing and coordination to execute correctly.
These movements are essential for building the leg power and flexibility needed for more advanced choreography. In addition to leg height, we emphasize the technical details that define intermediate work. This includes refining your relevé and finding the perfect retiré position to prepare for pirouettes.
You will work through enveloppé and cambré sequences that promote spinal flexibility and artistic expression. The class structure divides movements into manageable segments, allowing you to focus on the turnout and alignment of each side of the body at the barre. Whether you are working on your battement plié or practicing complex turns, this video provides the corrections and encouragement necessary to succeed.
We also discuss the importance of breath control and musicality, ensuring that your movements are as graceful as they are powerful. By integrating consistent practice and rehearsal into your routine, you will see a marked improvement in your balance and overall dance quality. This intermediate barre is the perfect way to spend your weekend, offering a structured environment to hone your skills and deepen your love for ballet.
