In this intense and difficult times it’s important to stay safe, but also to stay in shape! Therefore we’ve developed a few ‘ballet classes’ for our dancers, but you can join from your living room as well. Ernst Meisner, artistic coordinator of the Junior Company, teaches this ballet class and pianist Rex Lobo accompanies him on the piano. We will stream a ballet barre on KZfaq every Monday and Friday and will go live during a class with dancers (via ZOOM) on our Facebookpage Het Nationale Ballet. All classes start at 11am (CET).
Keep on dancing and let’s start!

I love the change of the camera into the marvelous pianist, well done for those videographers, cause without a good pianist a Ballet class is not good enough. : )

A loud shout out to Dutch national, the wonderful teacher and pianist - thank you so very much from providing such beautiful classes and live music during this special time! I absolutely love it and have made it my routine to take a class with you! Dancing away in California and looking forward to each every new class!

Dear Dutch National Ballet, Ernst and Rex, thank you so much for the center work. It does really brighten up my day and keeps me motivated in practice. Needless to say, the exercises are great - clean, strengthening, and the approach is consistent. Thank you for taking this seriously. I cannot tell you how much I look forward to getting your videos each week. Please tell us how we can make a donation.

Thank you, thank you so much for those 11 barre and 3 center classes. Even if practicing at home i learned a lot from you and found pleasure to push myself even if few times motivation was hard to find... I will come back to those classes because they are treasures. Ballet dancers from Dutch National Ballet are so lucky to have you both. ❤️ Greetings from Poland!

Dear Ernst and Rex, I still love you even though you made me try to do those frappes and ronde-de-jambes en-l'air in the center. Thank you for your invaluable resource for keeping me sane and fit.

Thank you so much Dutch National Ballet, Ernst and Rex. I look forward to Mondays and Fridays each week because of you. I love the neat, clean, precise style of these classes and the beautiful music. It's strange to say something good came from this awful global situation, but the way in which you have shared your expertise and beauty with the world is definitely something good. With love from South Africa.

Thank you so much for these online classes. Our studios have not completely opened for adult and open classes. Having danced almost my whole life, I was in a deep funk until I found your web site. Your generosity to share theses classes with the rest of the world is priceless. I have made a couple of donations as a thank you. I look forward to and can't wait for the next series of classes.

Your classes are amazing, program and explanation, guidance. Rex you are so giving with your artistry. Couple of notes to production, please focus camera on Ernst completely when demonstrating, when he talks directly and not moving you can focus on top half. Please hook Rex to your feed, music is faded with Ernst's voice while execution, though love that he provides vocal cues even on left side. I look forward to each episode!

What kind of shoes is he wearing?! I mean the brand :) they look comfortable

@TheRealCantaraBella 4 жыл бұрын

I have a silly question... Why is he not using ballet shoes when he leads this class? Is there a benefit to having that extra heel? I have seen that a lot with teachers, choreographers, and reheasals. Forgive my ignorance. Singer here.

@elizzy8754 3 жыл бұрын

Not a silly question. These shoes are relatively recent. I think these are worn largely for comfort as the heel is cushioned, the sole is split for flexibility and you can perform turns. (I think they are ugly!). Some women teachers wear a 'Grecian sandal' teaching shoe with a heel. Men and women also wear a laced up jazz shoe. A few still wear a soft (demi-pointe) normal ballet shoe such as worn by men or by children starting ballet, or even by ballerinas at the barre before they charge into pointe shoes. It's a matter of personal choice. Take a look at the web sites of major dance wear makers such as Bloch and Capezio for all these shoes.
