ALL THREE of you are so talented ! It’s pretty common to see a really flexible really strong girl. But to see a male dancer, who has feet like that… And who has an arch in his back like that… It’s just stunning. They both have so much control! A beauty to watch!

Thank you Ernst for this amazing class! 🙏🏻 I'm 51 years old and ex - ballet dancer and you have a wonderful Ballet dancers! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It was an honor to take this online class with you guys! 💐 Greetings from Germany! 🤗

We're BACK! A new year, new balletclasses, new teachers, all still completely free! If you enjoy the classes, please consider making a donation to our house via this link: bit.ly/support-nob Times have been rough, but being able to connect with all of you online has been a wonderful gift.

Yay can't wait! Will miss Rex though. I hope one day to come to Europe and watch the company dance. They now have a special place in my heart.

I feel so grateful for Ernst and DNationalBallet to share this with us. I am 42 and I think this is the only way I can get classes my age and working. I studied 14 years ballet and obviously this is like magic to me. Your classes are beautiful and very complete! Your recommendations and cheering up during class makes me feel IN class :)

This year I’m graduating med school at it has been very difficult for me to attend classes. Therefore, I’ve been taking your classes every sunday in my bedroom :) Thank you so much! You’re helping me keep my inner ballerina alive. Hugs from brazil!

Yes! Keep on Dancing!

thank you! these classes are a joy to follow and watch!

Looking forward!Cool to be introduced to another one of your fine pianists!👍

Fantastic! Am so looking forward to this.

Omg so excited! looking forward to this!

I am very thankful for these classes, and I am very happy that Dutch National Ballet has made more classes. I take the classes over and over again, but I will miss having new classes by Ernst, who is a great teacher. Rex was great too, and it was fun to see that he danced with his hands. U-tube is a great medium for taking ballet classes.

Loved the snippet of Rhapsody in Blue during frappes!

Thank you so much for sharing, lovely class and lovely dancers 💖

Thank you so much for continuing this series! I've been dancing back and forth through the previous classes, they are just wonderful!!

I am delighted to see the wonderful pianist Paul Lewis, who has so many friends here in Chicago who miss his great talents.

Wonderful as always!

Yes ! Just what I needed at this point, I can't wait! Thank you!!!

variations class? would be so fun!

Hello Ernst, Thank you for your wonderful classes. When will you post new classes? I adore them

Un placer volver a ver sus clases Sr Ernst. Bellos bailarines. Linda música

I'm really enjoying ballet pianist Paul James' more American jazz touches. The way he played that piece (a Piazzolla arrangement?) in the 27:00 exercise was quite magical -- he had a special way of really bringing out the "melting" movement in the fondue -- and this has been in my head for days. A great addition to complement Ernst, Elisabeth, and Davi. A big thanks to you all from Sydney, Australia for now being firmly part of my daily routine, you're a great inspiration to us all around the world!

Thank you so much from Canada, Vancouver! Before Covid I attended Bar-studio, now they are closed and offer online classes. I tried once, but their classes are weaker than the ones from Dutch Ballet. All 12 ballet classes with Ernst are in my bookmarks and I do them at home again and again. I like your new pianist- touching music; good quality of recording, almost always camera is on movements and not wondering around on faces; talented young dancers are doing exercises from both sides which is an improvement comparing to first 10 classes when Ernst showed one side, and the second side was just music, I had to stop and move recording back. And still, I got used to it and enjoyed classes anyway. I look forward to new classes. Thank you very much for helping people around the world.

Thank you from California! A few studios I used to go had to close down. This is a blessing. Ernst makes the best well constructed combinations. Perhaps some safe center or floor conditioning after a barre class or separate videos. I would love to continue with this online format.

Genial. ¡¡¡Gracias!!!!

I am so so happy that these classes are coming back!! They have kept me sane and motivated over the last year so thank you so much from a very displaced Canadian :) I look forward to the day when I can come and enjoy the company performing!
