Absolute Beginner Ballet Class 1 || Online Ballet Lesson

Enjoy this ballet lesson for beginners at home! It's a simple beginner ballet workout where I introduce some basic ballet terminology at the barre. This video is meant to help folks learn the basics of ballet.

This class is directed towards teen and adult ballet beginners :) More classes to come~

I have always wanted to develop a ballet curriculum for adults and teens. It has been a while since I have danced (around 2-3 years!) but I thought that teaching ballet would help me to start dancing again and give back to the community.

I'm 14 and my family doesn't have enough money for classes and I always wanted to do dance. Thank you so much for this.😁😀

The best part about online classes is that no one yells at you and you can get a coffee break

[Im_fOiVe-gnmu]

I am so happy I discovered your class. I am 74 and have always loved ballet -- Now I can find balance, muscle strength, posture, energy, and confidence as I practice and repeat...practice and repeat. When I go to the grocery store tomorrow I'll be smiling and thinking, 'I'll bet I'm the only 74 year-old in this store who took a long and challenging ballet class yesterday!!' With love and appreciation to you!

And I thought my age (14) was too old, time to live one of my dreams! Thank you!

I’m 21 and honestly I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get that good at ballet, due to starting so late and that I also have some issues with my hips. Though I love ballet so much, I love how it makes me feel and I love watching it. I’m really just doing this for me and to make myself fee good. This series is so great.

I'm an 18 yo guy who's been wanting to learn ballet for years but never had the guts to take lessons - thank you so much for this!!!

[sweetheart]

I’m a dancer and I have to say, you’re an amazing teacher! Seriously, you explained everything perfectly, the terminology, how to prevent injuries by practicing good technique, all while making students feel comfortable about making mistakes and learning more about their bodies. Ballet creates such an awareness of the body, and it’s beautiful that it’s becoming available to everyone.🥰

Hi! I’m a 19 yo guy and, even if I think it’s too late, I’d like to join a ballet class. I can’t join a real one now because of COVID situation, but I’m trying the basis on my own and this video is wonderful, I’m slowly getting an idea of what a real ballet class should be like! Thank you very much for spreading knowledge on ballet and inspiring guys like me too!

[latinangel]

I’m obese and wouldn’t dare sign up for a ballet class in public so this is unbelievably amazing. Thank you so much.

[tiffanychantelmusic]

What an absolute gift it is to provide these ballet classes to people all over who, for whatever reason, cannot make it to regular classes. You are an angel!

[retro_bab]

I'm 17 and just graduated highschool but my parents don't think of ballet as seriously as I do, I'm the most thankful for this, you're amazing

I wanted to do ballet since I was small, but i never had the courage to do so ' cause of the way how my body looked and we didn't have the money either. Now a really good friend of mine dances ballet and I told her that I wanted to do so too and she is so supportive. Without her i wouldn't even have thought of doing want I wanted to do for so long. But now because of Covid I can't start classes and I still have to improve my flexibility 'cause i just started( not even a month ago) and i'm turning sixteen in 1/2 months. I'm so happy/ thankful that you made these videos, because without them I wouldn't even really know where to start 😊

Im 12, (seventh grader) known as the mean tomboy everywhere. I’ve had a passion for ballet since 4. Never until now had a professional help. This means so much the fact this is a free and online class like lesson. Thank you. So very much.

[kaylagaye]

This seems interesting! I’m a violin student but I also like to do ballet for hobby. And the fact that you started ballet at 16 years old inspires me 💖

[judithcarter]

I am 67 and I've been having balance issues. I think this is the perfect class for me to strength my legs while having fun.

[BalletMisfit]

Thanks for watching! If you have any questions, check out my FAQ video before asking~ I also forgot to mention that I recommend taking the class 2-3 times before moving on. I would start off with 1-2 classes a week if you are new to dance.

[tabitagirwar]

I can’t explain how extremely grateful and happy I am that you’ve made this video. I’m 26 and I’ve always wanted to do ballet I’m starting my journey now. I’ve spent days looking for a proper place to start. Thank you for explaining everything and making it so simple. I have such a long way to go but this video is amazingly helpful and it doesn’t make it feel so intimidating!

[sammi-loveistheanswer]

Im 53 and living my dreams again. I stopped doing ballet in my late teens and just too embarassed to join classes but now i can do everything i loved about ballet from home. This makes me feel great. Thank you 🌸

[gayspiderman]

Thank you. I quit ballet when I was younger and regretted it as I grew older. I'm 18 now and always wondered how good I would be if I never stopped. I always felt like it was just too late and that I was too different to be apart of something so beautiful. But I've realized I only live once. This video helped me feel inspired to learn because I'm still young and it's never too late. I can't wait to keep learning through these lessons with you as my teacher <3 I hope one day I have the confidence, time, and money to do in person lessons
