I'm a 19 (and soon to be 20) girl from Taiwan. I was formerly a ballerina but stopped dancing 3 years ago. Last October I start to do online classes (including yours ) , they really help me a lot in many aspect!!! Want to say a huge THANK YOU to all the members of Dutch National Ballet (of course for other teachers/dancers/ballet instructors/and others). Hope can continue to see more ballet barre classes and center work combinations in the following days!!!

[@DutchNatOperaBallet]

That is wonderful! We love to hear former dancers appreciating our online classes. That's partly reason why we do this. Thank you for joining and keep on dancing!

I am returning to ballet after maaaany years and I consider myself a beginner. Your videos are so aspirational, they remind me of the “feeling” of dancing. I watched this twice and did what I could. It will define on repeat! Thank you so much for the effort on everyone’s part, for making these lovely lessons! 🩰❤️

[@DutchNatOperaBallet]

You've got the feeling! Keep on dancing

Great classes. But why are the student's not listening to the music and aren't dancing to the beat? It looks like they're just throwing their legs without any sense.

[@ilrubin6456]

The Class with Ernst was as good as usually; this time exercises were even more interesting . Nice to see junior dancers, their genuine smiles, beautiful faces. Mila is very talented and charismatic. I made my exercises only looking at her in front and at the back. As for male dancer, he was pretty mediocre, selected probably based not on his skills but on ideology. Even camera all the time was on the female dancer keeping male in shadow. This is unfair to a talented dancer who wasn't selected because he was not part of desirable race. Class 14 continues this agenda, I probably will skip it.

[@DutchNatOperaBallet]

Dutch National Ballet selects her dancers based on skills and talent. Dutch National Ballet consists of a colorful ensemble of artists from 30 different countries. This diversity within the ensemble and the wide-ranging repertoire define the strength of our company. Dutch National Ballet does not discriminate or make distinctions based on religion, skin color, sexual orientation, cultural or social background - not with our audience nor with our dancers. The only thing that matters for dancers is talent. The only thing that we ask from our audience is to open their minds to beauty, creativity, and new perspectives and that they show respect. Respect for our dancers, choreographers, musicians, designers, and other employees - and for each other.

[@ilrubin6456]

@@DutchNatOperaBallet Thank you very much for taking your time to read my comment and reply. Great if Dutch Ballet selects dancers based on performance and not any agenda. My apologies if my comment was influenced by previous personal experience. Prior to COVID I took my child to a Vancouver theater to Sounds of Music. 7 children of the Trapp Family were of various races and colors. I don't mind if they would be the best suitable for the role; however, the performance was very mediocre, level of high school, while I paid $85 per ticket. As per my understanding, the theater promoted ideological agenda. I recall my disappointment. Since that the theater sends me invitations, asks for donations during COVID time- I ignore their messages, will not come and will not pay for my child to go. The theater is losing spectators if they select artists based on ideology.
