About This Video
At Broche Ballet, we understand that consistency is the key to achieving the beautiful lines and fluid movement required for classical dance. This 7-minute practice video is designed to provide you with a structured, professional timer to guide your flexibility routine. Whether you are warming up for a class at the barre or cooling down after a demanding session of center work, this video helps you stay focused and disciplined.
The format is straightforward yet highly effective: you will perform three different stretches of your choice. For each stretch, the timer allocates one full minute for the right side followed by one full minute for the left side. Holding a stretch for a minimum of sixty seconds allows the muscle fibers and fascia to truly release, promoting a deeper range of motion and preventing injuries.
As dancers, we often rush through our warm-ups, but this guided timer ensures you give each side of your body equal attention. You might choose to focus on your hamstrings for the first minute, your hip flexors for the second, and perhaps a deep plié or a gentle back extension for the third. By integrating this short but intense stretching block into your daily routine, you will notice improvements in your turnout, your height in extensions like arabesque, and your overall ease of movement.
This tool is perfect for the busy adult ballet student who needs a quick, effective way to maintain their physical condition. Let the timer take the guesswork out of your practice so you can focus entirely on your breath and alignment. Join Broche Ballet in making flexibility a cornerstone of your dance journey.
