This video works well because the camera angle is a little to the side. When the camera is positioned at the end of the bar, facing the dancers, you can't always tell what their feet are doing. The camera needs to be looking at the bar more from the side. Also, this is a good one because the camera stays closer to the dancers instead of a long shot so much of the time. Thank you.

One year later this is still my favourite barre class! ♥

Please keep doing more of these! Both Barre and Center Classes! It's been a great experience to be able to practice at home. The dance studio closed due to the pandemic and I don't have a studio near me, but I love these classes. Even when it's online, I am very careful to follow corrections given to the dancers in these videos, so I can improve my technique!
Thank you to the entire team who puts these videos together! They're such a gift!

This was beautiful. Thank you guys so much. I am 44, and since the Corona lockdowns I've been doing once a week a beginner ballet bar at home. This young dancer's sharp leg work and round hand work are an inspiration to me. I may have even shed a tear at the end... 🥲

Thank you so much for this class! I particularly loved this instructor and this lesson. The attention to detail, the way she took her time to explain every step and repeat the steps to help me remember, the way each exercise builds on the previous were all extremely helpful! This is such a gift to us to share these classes with us for free from some of the best dancers and instructors in the world! It is so rare to find such clean classical technique and artistry online that is neither too easy or too complex for those of us who are amateur but want to participate in this lovely art form!

As always for the Dutch Ballet, excellent barre (at the lower level always good for everyone). Thank you for the excellent teaching, Simona, demonstrations, Koyo and Mila, and beautiful music, James.

Thank you very much! The covid years were awful all around, and the only good thing they left behind were online classes like this. Thank you and God bless!

[dango_dangdang]

I really do appreciate these basics.
Simple movements performed by the professional dancers are showing us how god designed human body🎉

[emilmcculloch]

Thank you for these lessons! I used to be a ballerina when I was younger and my body no longer performs as it did 30 years ago. I decided to take your beginner barre today at home just to get my body moving again and fill my soul with the piano and movement. I very much enjoyed your class and will return!
