Ballet class for beginners 1 [Ballet Barre] | Dutch National Ballet 

Amazing that you are following the lessons! Practice makes perfect 😉

Yeah, exactly, this is what I've been doing in my beginner adult ballet as well, you need a little bit of basics before but once you have that it's doable

I agree. All of my ballet classes as a beginner have been similar. Ballet is hard. Get your $ worth with classes like this. You’ll be in the best shape of your life. Even professionals brush up on their skills in these classes.

That is amazing! Have fun with the classes 😄

Here a 65 year who only did ballet as child and now try again..safe in our own house.nobody sees..😅

Thank you a lot!! That's really helps me 💋

Thank you❤

Yes, if a true beginner tried this they might never come back

Why is this not considered a beginner? And what would you think it would qualify for? Introduction?

Each movement explained with its proper execution- what you’re trying to achieve - that would make it a beginner class.

@@googlebeaglie so this would qualify as a beginners class?

@@girliesweety A beginner needs a much slower explanation of what we are about to do, a slower pace, less variation to remember, no balancing without holding the bar, no working on port de bras while figuring out the footwork... It might be "basic" for an experienced ballerina, but not "beginner."

Totally agree with this comment!

As a ballet teacher teaching beginners I am really irritated

Tiene que saber como son los niveles en el Ballet Clásico. Está clases es para principiantes, no para pre ballet o ballet inicial que es para niños entre 4 y 6 años aproximadamente. Niños mayores de 7 años ya entienden este nivel de clase

@@adria9348 con el mayor de los respetos, pero debería investigar mejor como son las clases de primer año en cualquier escuela profesional del mundo, y se va a dar cuenta de que no es ni cercano a lo mostrado en este video. Esto no es apropiado para nadie que comience danza en ninguna edad, solo va a generar frustraciones y no aprender danza.

@@juanjosefarina los alumnos se adaptan a la clase. A esta clase no va a entrar cualquier persona o joven, claramente es una academia muy avanzada y esta clase es para principiantes por diferentes razones. En vez de criticar, aproveche y aprenda y saque lo mejor de lo que aqui GRATUITAMENTE están enseñando para usted si es que es bailarín... O para reforzar sus clases si es que es instructor... En el mundo de la danza, la envidia es algo terrible... Hay que crecer, no decrecer. Aproveche!

@@adria9348 porque hay que crecer, creo que es importante la divulgación científica seria y profesional en danza clásica. Cuando guste, la invito a que dialoguemos sobre nuestras distintas experiencias, y le explicaré cómo en mí experiencia con la Academia Vaganova y con la Royal Academy of Dancing, esto no es una clase para principiantes. Saludos !

Keep on going an your legs are not like WHAT?, but more like OH YEAH! :)

Yeah) He used a lot of languages in there!

i heard that too and thought oh we speaking japanese now 😆

ha ha, I am a nurse to. I like to do ballet at my med cart😜

Hi Katrina, if you are struggling with these classes you can take a look at this playlist. Maybe start with the 5 basic ballet positions? The important thing is to have fun while doing it. Good luck! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q6yWpDd5qLg.html

Thank you, I appreciate your reply. Totally agree that it should be fun! And as I said: it’s a lovely class. I do think it would be more appropriate to call it something like an Intermediate class. I am a ballet teacher and have been teaching beginners for very many years. Children, teens and adult beginners. To enjoy a class like this you need some concept of core-control, directions, awareness of arms and legs, not to mention co-ordination of these. Full exercises on demi-pointe will cause cramps, bent standing legs, wobbly ankles and terrible posture. Beginners struggle to even understand a basic 5th position! I LOVE that you are putting out classes/barres like this! I LOVE the exercises, gorgeous dancers and the lovely music! I have already tipped off intermediate students of mine about these classes. I’m only struggling with the misleading title. These are intermediate barres. I see that I am not the only one commenting on this. A beginner barre is nothing like this. It won’t be much fun for a beginner to attempt this. Not that they can’t enjoy watching it! However, I’m not sure that is what the title is referring to. It is great that you are sharing these barres and I appreciate the time and effort going into this. I thank you very much for that!

@@katrinastewart5456 Absolutely agree, I am a ballet pianist and I both play for and take beginner classes. Still a fabulous video (I came to listen to the wonderful pianist and gain inspiration!), but definitely a challenging class!

@@DutchNatOperaBallet that video has dutch languace, I don't understand a word XD

I guess he never had beginners in class .. please give me a break this is for well trained people complex and quick exercises for advanced students or professional! Class is good but Not FOR BEGINNERS!!!!

We are happy that everyone can practice ballet at home with these classes for free 😊

Hi! You can watch an advanced class in our World Ballet Day stream, where you see Dutch National Ballet rehearsing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P6VKvxv9LGY.htmlsi=xpRNlZzJbheL636N ❤️

jepp...to much steps...to fast moves...the basic positions are not displayed...and no warm ups #calf cramps and muscle strains will rejoice

Always arrive to class warmed up and ready to work ;)
