Ballet Barre 5 (Online Ballet Class) - Dutch National Ballet

[@fayellwood4051]

Another wonderful barre! I still do these with great frequency--thank you so much for keeping them on KZbin!

[@VuyelwaPhota]

2 years later. Still here. Very grateful❤️

[@marssarts]

These were going to be my last few months of ballet classes before I moved countries for uni and they have unfortunately been cut short due to these difficult times we are all facing around the globe. I was extremely scared of going into isolation and stopping my classes as ballet is such a big part of my mental health and how I deal with stress. These classes have quite literally saved me during the last couple of weeks and have been a great way to not lose strength and flexibility during this time. I love the good energy that both Ernst and Rex put out with these classes and I'm so thankful for the whole team at the Dutch National Ballet that is making this experience possible for so many people all over the world. Lots of love from Portugal !!! Stay safe and healthy everyone !!!

[@DutchNatOperaBallet]

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are very glad that you enjoy our classes! Keep on dancing ❤️

[@KAT-sk2re]

There are some bad days that you have litterally saved. Thank you. Last night Ernst And Rex saved my life (ont the DJ). Dancing is what I miss the most

[@jaimimcpeek2750]

It is a pleasure to practice ballet "with" you, Ernst! This is by far my favorite ballet barre! It was so diverse and really kept you on your toes (literally)! As a professional dancer who is out of a job right now, this makes me so happy! More time to work on perfecting my technique! I cannot wait for class #6 and BRAVO REX! Thank you both! XOXO

[@tiffanyzoll7579]

I danced for 20+ years and stopped about 10 years ago. I have been missing ballet so much and decided to jump back in during the shut down. These barre classes have been amazing! I’ve been able to jump back in and transition smoothly all while getting an amazing work out. I am truly loving these! Thank you so much for making such versatile classes that even old washed up ballet dancers can jump back into!

[@jooyounjung6972]

Thank you so much! This class is very helpful for me. And this method is much better than the last class. I will also wait for the next class. Thank you. - From South Korea

[@annabellbori6851]

Thank you! Sometimes saving lives means ballet barre for the people. With love and great appreciation from Mexico City.

[@ViniciusdeAlmeidaCarvalho]

Thanks a lot for that! It's very generous of you National Ballet to share these classes with everyone.

[@Гла1]

Thank you very much, Ernst and Rex ! Learn from the best teachers is happiness!!!

[@jchloegian]

I am so so happy these classes are available! I have been a ballet dancer for 12 years but I stopped after an injury and went to uni. These have helped me get back to a first love of mine. Because of these videos I have discovered that I still have a dancer in me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

[@alicemarshall7695]

Absolutely loving these barres, I m 55 and have been teaching for 35 yrs, lock down does not do your body any good, love having to use my brain on the second side. Keep them coming please.💜💜💜💜

[@annabellagarwood9307]

Thank you Ernst and Rex. It has been 10 years since I put on my ballet shoes on in New Zealand. I decided to try a ballet barre while isolating in Italy ... and now I can't go a day without your classes. It is such a wonderful feeling to feel muscles beginning to strengthen again and know that all those years spent dancing have not been lost. You're helping so many of us at home, in all sorts of situations. Truly grateful for your positive, energising, fulfilling classes. Thank you. X

[@balletlau]

[@luhoneskoLondrina]

Thank you Ernest and Rex for the ballet classes. The internet is really wonderful. I am Brazilian and I study adult ballet classics. Unfortunately now, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we are unable to go to ballet school. I'm a photographer and since I'm not working at the moment, I transformed my studio into my classroom ballet. I've done your classes 1 and 2 challenging me to do the exercises. Thank you very much, you are a very didactic teacher. I loved your classes. :-)

[@suedong3573]

Thank you so much for making these videos available at this crazy time, great content, piano and recording. The world is so much better with your art and generous hearts. ❤️ from US.

Thank you so much for these videos! Wonderful class and amazing teacher and piano player! Thank you!!!

[@AnitaRIsaak]

Thank you for your wonderful smiles and cheerfulness! This class series makes me so incredibly happy! :)

[@racheldonelson3971]

Thanks so much for sharing these. I love how Ernst plays with musicality in these exercises- more so than other similarly leveled ballet barres I've taken. (Thanks to Rex, too!) This particular barre has been my favorite so far. It was very logical and I could feel how each exercise built on the previous one. My hips felt great afterwards, and those long balances have been really good for me. Glad you guys are staying healthy!

[@DutchNatOperaBallet]

Thank you Rachel! We're glad you enjoyed the class :)

[@Hellbender8574]

I can't love this enough! Thank you to the entire team at the Dutch National Ballet for your hard work.

I want to express my gratitude for the mental support you give with this opportunaty to follow your trainings. My inspiration started with Florrie Rodrigo and Ine Rietstap is the most memorable teacher I ever had. So I am quite antique but happy with what I still can do. The challenge of the series of barres make me enjoy this episode of my (dancing) life!

[@DutchNatOperaBallet]

We are very glad you enjoy our classes Nelleke!❤️

[@jimenaserrano7059]

Thank you for your wonderful clases they make my day !!!!!!!!

[@moniqueleijen7093]

Thanks for this great class. It was very nice to see the dancers last week, i was feeling like a prima ballerina then. This class is easier for me to follow but it´s a good brainbraker that you only show the right side. So I have to really focus, that´s good excerise too, for my brains. Looking forward to the next one. And sometimes, when I forget a part of the exercise I just make up my own combination, works perfect.

[@tanapalichova8722]

Thanks a lot for helping the dancers to stay in shape in this difficult situation!! Enjoying your classes so much, really

[@dddeparis3871]

Thank you so much from Paris! I miss ballet class so much. I like the way you build on what we saw previously! Have a nice weekend!

Thank you so so much and happy Easter, take care everyone is so beautiful ballet really helping me mentally physically spiritually🪺🐣🩰🎼♥️
