The PNB you know and love stops at nothing, not even a pandemic, in our quest to create, educate, and bring joy to the world through dance. We’ve accomplished a lot together in the last tear, from launching a first-of-its-kind all-digital season and delivering PNB School classes via the internet, to where we are today-slowly and carefully welcoming dancers and small groups of students back to the studios. We choose to focus on the positive and the many ways PNB can continue to be a beacon of light, and source of inspiration and solace in this time of uncertainty.
Your tax-deductible gift to the Future Fund will help PNB to continue the work we’re doing while we’re reinventing PNB’s future. Your PNB team has been reduced in size because of the pandemic and our inability to perform to full houses at McCaw Hall. The gift you make today will shape PNB’s future tomorrow.

Thank you Mr. Boal. Thank you Maestra Pinelis. Thank you dancers Ms. Macy, Mr. Wald, and Ms. Iliesiu.

[@josephfong3509]

Peter Boal has exquisite placement and execution, and his great generosity shines through in the loveliness of his dancers.

[@Hellbender8574]

Liked this class! Uncomplicated, effective exercises set to clear, targeted music. I love that Master Boal really gets you to focus on how the movement should feel rather than just on how it ought to look. Plus he has the most pleasant voice. The demonstrators showed style and individuality, rare for this type of class video. This class made me feel like an artist, not a technician. Thank you

[@vl9265]

OMG their port de bras are so beautiful! I feel like a robot in comparison.

[@yanyuet]

love Boal's teaching method, really opens up the body and get one thinking of using the right dynamic and muscles

[@Djenifer31]

The girl in blue looks like she`s floating underwater. Her arms moves so beautifully, she`s light and flowy, I love to watch her move

[@TheAlinaBallerina]

I'm transcribing this class to my online students on another computer. I love how all the exercises make sense, are not mind-boggling (that doesn't really make things more advanced in my opinion) and warm up the body beautifully. Peter Boal you are amazing! One good thing coming out of this pandemic is the ability to give students variety and classes from excellent Master teachers that I otherwise wouldn't do.

[@unicornwitchprincess1004]

This class is exactly what I needed! The exercises can be easily done from home while still being challenging! What a gift you have given us by uploading this, thank you!

[@noopy99]

Can we please have more of Peter-Boal-Ballet-Classes? I'd love to take more of his classes since his exercises are so clear and really help warm up! 🥰

[@shanaolson1812]

this is a great class! Perfectly choreographed to keep up good training!

[@nefwaenre]

This is the second class i'm watching and following. It's so nice to be able to learn ballet and follow such masterful dancers! Thank you very much. i'm learning ballet as an adult, it's a lifelong thing i wanted and this helps me a lot! ♥

[@reythejediladyviajakku6078]

[@charissaclemetson]

Absolutely loved this class, thank you PNB. My dancers and I did it on Zoom together and enjoyed it thoroughly. Kudos!

[@vivianne.bisson]

I miss dance classes...haven't been since college....thanks for posting this; It will go great after my Qigong qi gong....maybe it will lift my spirit...

[@janellefreiman4367]

Thank you. This is a perfect at home class

[@theyoungyogi]

Thanks for class! Loved the combinations. Just challenging enough for me with lots of beautiful expression.

[@sulgkoolon3891]

This is such a good class! Fantastic instruction style and exercises that fit well within my small space. Thank you, thank you!

[@JudiCorey]

I re- discoverd the class I took &it was Peter Boal's. Thank you so much! Would love to see dancers from behind so we could follow more easily in center.

[@PuelaLunaris]

Excellent! Thanks so much for these great classes. Please upload more!

[@kembashannon]

This class is beautiful.... Thank you...

[@52worship]

Wonderful!

[@anneharrison1849]

I used to love taking open class at PNB, must be 10+ years since I did one. I was about to join a wheelchair dance group that's an outreach project of a ballet company in England, but corona virus put the lid on that. Maybe next year.

[@wcballet]

Really nice class! Makes me want to dance again. Thank you everybody and the pianist and Mr Boal.

[@Ivyhillfarmllc]

Thank you PNB!

[@kivalily]

I really loved this the mini center is perfect for small space and im sweating again!

[@blessedart2143]

[@viridianahernandez8770]

loved the class, thank you so much!!!

[@SuperEfexor]

Thank you MR Boal, very interesting class

[@taylormaxfield6652]

Also girl on the right (I forgot her name!) was the one I was following for most of this and her arm movements are gorgeous! I love that she puts so much style into it rather than looking robotic which is something I struggle with!

[@Didiscata]

ive watched so many balletclasses to follow along while im home and this is the best ive seen

[@gandamono]

Thank you for a wonderful class.👍😊

[@chrissiebotha8574]

Absolutely love this! Thanx for sharing.

[@cionciola]

[@anovitch]

This class was HARD for me but a fun challenge to compliment the Zoom classes I've been using to stay in shape! Watch says I burned 350 calories and I believe it

I love this thank youy

[@barakah08]

It's my 4th year in ballet and I'm 17 years old. I'm really looking for motivation to lose weight. And I've been trying I just dont feel content. Like, I want to feel good while I dance ballet, not gross... and while ballet is my motivation, I feel like my metabolism is just letting me down.

[@alexconverse4839]

Any size body is a dancer body!! I promise you don’t need to lose weight to be a beautiful dancer.

[@POLMAZURKA]

for rond de jamb ....doesn't the entire foot flatly contact the floor? read below:

[@e.santos1705]

Não faço ideia do que tá acontecendo mas é bom assistir

[@candygood1295]

Classes are back open

[@dsom1961]

I really love watching Peter Boal teach. His calm demeanor and sensible exercises seem for strong dancers mentally and physically.

[@kmm2442]

Yes, he has a strong atmosphere, which brings everything.

[@maggyramirez3183]

Apurense

[@noopy99]

Could you upload it again without the intros for each exercise? I love the class, but when you start becoming familiar with the exercises the breaks are quite long; so it would be a great cardio exercise to do them in a row without interruption 🥰

[@calsunlight]

But that’s how real ballet classes are like and this is just that

[@noopy99]

​@@calsunlight I know how ballet classes work. I have been dancing my entire life. However, on KZbin are examples where they continue the exercises without interruption in addition to the traditional ballet classes to get the heart rate up. Furthermore, there are books recommending continuous exercises for warm-up. Anyways, it was just a suggestion/idea, not a critique.

Thaks by Sicily 🙋‍♀️

[@donnafinando3255]

Beautiful class. Thank you. What are the names of the music pieces played for the plies and the first tendu combinations?

[@readiness154]

Plie- a fantasy on a popular tune from the Opera “ Rinaldo” by Handel

[@readiness154]

The 1 st Tendu is a free fantasy on “Ave Verum” , music by Mozart. One of famous theme from “ Mozartiana”/ P. Tchaikovsky

[@donnafinando3255]

@@readiness154 Thank you!!

[@carbonidsolo5479]

Very nice class. Thanx for the upload :) @Peter Boal: what is this slightly lifted heel in the demi plies? (exept the young gentleman) Is this on purpos for technical reasons?

[@WoeIsShe]

What’s the song she’s playing at 24:28 ? I’ve been going crazy looking for it.

[@randybrickson4290]

ballet looks hard

[@choijiwonballetclassmusic]

whats the music at 9: 04, 21:06?

[@nina-fu9dc]

It's a British march!

[@readiness154]

I think it is a free fantasy on a “ King and 3 fiddlers” tune. Yes, it is British.

[@choijiwonballetclassmusic]

@@readiness154 thank you Marina

[@choijiwonballetclassmusic]

[@originofnoise]

Great class. But the boy isn't on the music. How can people like get even get accepted?

[@pyqio]

This is a warmup, so they're focusing on the aspect of their bodies that they feel need more work that day. Only when it comes to repertoire, you need to be in sync.

[@kmm2442]

How...

[@skytechgames105]

I love ballet but i dont have faith in me

[@candygood1295]

You all can stop the lame cyber class now

[@gerrardmartindance2020]

A lovely, warm class with great instruction and beautiful music

[@ryrify]

Peter Boal’s calm energy and positive focus is so motivating. I literally love his voice, taking class from him would be cathartic! His variations are beautiful- he uses the whole body and even watching, I can feel the flow. The dancer in blue is dreamy 😊 and the music is perfect 🤩 What a wonderful video, its about to become my three times a week best ballet friend.

[@taylormaxfield6652]

I love his commentary on the small details to focus on. Sometimes it's easy to allow your muscles to do the work for you but it's nice to have a reminder about details like shoulder blades placement, air in lungs, etc.

[@mercuriapenelope]

Wonderful, flowing class. So liberating.

[@L1ghtn1g]

hi i love this! would you guys consider creating more class videos??? thank you!

[@JoseGarcia-sh1jm]

Ay alguna persona que able español🤔

[@NickiTedesco]

Thank you this was beautiful!
