About This Video
Elevate your technical foundation with this meditative and detailed 25-minute follow-along barre from Broche Ballet. This session is specifically designed for dancers who want to move beyond the surface of steps and truly understand the mechanics of their movement. By focusing on a slower, more deliberate pace, you can identify and correct alignment issues that often go unnoticed in a fast-paced class.
The session begins with a mindful warm-up to prepare the body, followed by meticulous work in tendu and dégagé to sharpen foot articulation. We place a heavy emphasis on turnout, guiding you to find rotation from the hip socket rather than the knees or ankles. As we move into ronde de jambe and fondu, you will learn how to maintain a stable pelvis while executing fluid, circular motions and controlled 'melting' bends.
The instructor provides constant feedback on posture, ensuring that your arabesque and attitude lines are supported by a strong core and proper weight distribution. This deep dive also covers cou-de-pied placement and tan lié transitions to improve your overall balance and coordination. The class concludes with rhythmic prancing and grounded plié work to integrate these technical refinements into your muscle memory.
Whether you are an adult beginner looking to build a solid foundation or a more experienced dancer wishing to revisit the basics with fresh eyes, this class offers the space and time needed for genuine growth. Join us to find more ease, control, and professional polish in your dancing through detailed, mindful practice.
