Classic mini Ballet Barre Workout | Lazy Dancer Tips

Here you are a mini barre for you to warm up or take as a mini workout. It’s a general level barre that anyone can take. You can easily enjoy it at home in your lounge by using a chair.

Every ballet class starts with a good barre, but sometimes we haven’t got time to go to a full class or we want to do something extra during the day, maybe at home. This is a short version of a full barre where exercises are fused together in order to fit all the steps in and get the full benefit of a long barre.

The music I'm using is composed and played by Massimiliano Greco - Ballet Series 1 which album you can find and purchase here:

Put your leotard on and let’s do this together!!

I have been doing your videos for 13 months now and I am in better shape then I was at 25.  I have lost 80 pounds an I love the workouts.  I am now 65 years old and keep doing ballet for a long time.  Thanks, Alessia.

I can't afford classes, I missed ballet so much! Thank you for doing this. You explain so well.

55 year old man, visit the gym pretty much daily, not looking my age at all, but always looking for new workouts, especially to keep and gain mobility, flexibility and balance. Thank you.

Love this video! Wonderfully made. I feel like I'm in an authentic ballet class. More ballet class please! 20, 30, 45 min basic techniques for everyday would be great for us non-ballerinas! The video editing, camera filming of the two angles along with your instructions and classical music is perfect. And your wonderful cheery personality is the cherry on top! You're a great teacher! Thank you!

These ballet classes are by far the best exercises on the web.... I am obsessed with doing a workout every day. I feel as if I am a ballerina, doing class warm up exercises.. Your body is an inspiration to aspire to. Love the calming music, the introduction to the movements and the movements themselves are controllable. It feels as if I am in your class with your sense of humour, your smile and your encouragement.... please carry on.... May we all go from strength to beautiful, toned bodies with you,

Being watching this clip for many years, fun instruction, delightful music and lovely cat. Love it !!

[PettyBlue]

I am DRIPPING in sweat after doing this! I feel like a duck doing these barre workouts, but the results are real. I feel less and less like that every time.

[julia-ctwl]

I used to have ballet lessons but I quitted because I got a new sibling but I miss having ballet classes. So now, today I decided to watch ballet exercises because I don't really remember a lot of things in my ballet classes. This really gave me like real ballet classes vibes. Thank you for this❤

[leila-dianejackson]

I’m a retired ballet dancer and I LOVED IT. Keeps you in shape. Thank you.

[lynpops]

Your videos have given me a new lease of ballet life at 60. I went to classes when I was 5 and had a cruel tutor that put me off for life but I have always loved ballet. I have certainly missed out all these years but your direction, joy and humour have made my spirits lift and the piano music and barre work are my new daily fitness regime. Thank You So Much!....

[elizabethtravis]

I'm almost 50 and as a former professional dancer, I am so happy to have found your videos. Your combinations are fluid and lyrical and your technique is an inspiration. Beautiful lines, feet and turnout! You're a wonderful teacher. So rare to find this on a Youtube video. Thank you SO much!!!

[auto-did-act]

These are awesome! I miss ballet and I see a lot of barre workouts with ZERO technique so this is a complete delight. I hope you'll put together a technical "how to" of turnout, arms and posture for all those people who are missing out and risking injury with these non-dancer barre teachers!

[shiphrahmoses]

Haven't done ballet for a year because of an injury and just trying to get back into shape. It shocks me how hard these exercises are for me now but I'm excited for the journey, thank you so much Alessia!

[mwhatyousaidd]

new to the practice, fell in love with ballet during the pandemic after being a lifelong classical musician. Your movements are so fluid and gorgeous and I love your videos!! Thank you!

[niknok]

Thanks to quarantine, I'm back in my ballet slippers dancing away in my kitchen. Thank you for your perfectly guided class and adorable co-star.

[alexatherebel]

I love ballet so much....and if I hadn't been 25 and with a full time job and a screwed up back, I would have started to take ballet lessons. This the best I can do at home and enjoy it so much. Thank you so much! So beautiful!!!!

[alexandrabooks]

Thank you Alesia for providing home ballet exercises now that we're all in quarantine here in Greece..especially for the you're keeping safe....Alexandra

[soniabernstein]

All your lazy ballet workouts are a bright spot during this corona era in NYC. I had never taken ballet before but you make the steps scaleable and approachable. Brava! I love the cat sightings too.

[maureenmcr]
