I have done several of the classes. Extremely logic, natural and challenging but also a simplicity concept that goes in harmony with the steps and takes the body through a good process to keep it in shape.

Also I like the class by male teacher. If the teacher was female dancer with extremely long limbs and high arched feet, I feel like “It’s impossible for me” . Male teacher shows more modest but strong specimen.

Brilliant playing from Rex Lobo (and he has to memorise the exercises to be able to play the 2nd side solo. Now that's multitasking!)

best ballet barre online! Thank you so much for your teaching and Rex for the beautiful music!

In this time, where I am alone, without my family which is in Italy, and closed in 18m2, this is how I feel free and normal again. thank you for the amazing class!

Thank you to keep us in shape and sane, not only students but also choreographers .

Was getting really bored of my normal workouts and missed my ballet classes after 17 years of dancing, this is amazing! Super fun and the words of advice and encouragement throughout are such a nice touch. Amazing pianist and master, the classes are just the right level of challenging! Thank you so much!

Rex is so humorous, both of you guys are fantastic, esp. during the 2nd shutdown

I keep coming back to your classes. Thank you so much for sharing these 💞 You helped me through Covid and now through injury and towards eventual recovery. GRATITUDE to you Eric, Rex, and the Nationale Ballet. Hartelijk bedankt.

As a full time physiotherapy student I only seldom have the chance to go to class, so this online class is truly a blessing!

Love, love, love this!! I used to be a professional dancer (10 years ago) and kind of missed these classes but I was scared to join a professional class since it's such a long time ago. During Corona quarantaine this is a great and fun way to stay in shape and to discover in the privacy of my living room if I can still do it :). And many thanks to the great pianist as well. What a luxury to do this class with this beautiful live music. Please keep streaming these classes! They are a great home workout.

Thank you Tamara for joining us and posting this lovely messsage! We will continue with the classes.

I've been practicing one lesson for a month. Now it 's the 2nd barre, still have 8 months to go. I feel I'm improving myself little by little !! Thanks so much for Dutch international ballet.

This is the best online ballet class I have ever had. The instruction is extremely clear and I feel like I am having a private lesson. Thanks to Rex for the beautiful music!

Brilliant ! I like the fact that you are not showing the left side because it makes my brain work ! Thank you, I'm stuck in Paris in a small appartment and I feel "normal" again.

Thanks. Enjoying it every morning w my wife. Even though i am 51!

Thank you, that was so much fun. Morning routine now that I have been given a barre for my birthday.

I continue doing this as a practice before class! 🤩

The pianist totally rocks!!

My ballet teacher of 30 years recommended our class tune in to you. Both your clear demonstrations and instructions plus the angelic music of Rex inspires my soul. What a privilege to lift my body to the height of my inspired spirit. Now at 81, I do modify the lesson, but it is beautiful to follow you, Ernst. Thank You , Judith

These videos have been a godsend on days when I can't get to my normal zoom ballet classes. Ernst's teaching style is professional and also kind of adorable - he and Rex interact so wonderfully, it always makes me smile :) Bravo Maestros!!!

Thank you so much, Ernst, Rex, and Dutch National Ballet! Lovely class. Lovely music. A new favourite for me. :) I loved the first class as well.

coming back to these again even post-lockdown!

You 2 are such a treasure these days. Thank you for these wonderful classes - so well structured, timed and very motivating. Thanks for your friendly guidance :)

I love your ballet classes. I'm enjoying them very much. Congratulations to the amazing teacher.

Thank you so much. Since I live in San Miguel de Allende, México, I get up before sunrise to do your barre before it gets too hot. That is how much I appreciate your video and the music by Rex. 🩰

Definitely the best class online at the moment. Clear instruction and beautiful music. Really enjoying them.

Great instruction by Ernst and lovely playing by Rex. Thank you- this ballet barre with such a skilled teacher is a highlight of my days while being "locked in".

Thank u soooooo much for this!I am pianist at Cape Town City Ballet in South Africa,and I am so missing playing for class!Rex is fantastic!

What a great feel good barre. Thank you so much. I’ll be back for more!

Thank you for this! Your class is both challenging and enjoyable. I love the way you say “double.” If you must know, I curtsied at the end 😉

Hello from New York City! I have been starting every day with these wonderful classes and beautiful music! You are helping so many of us around the world get through these long days in quarantine. Thank you!

When is Ernst going to teach more? His class entails a punch of bodily knowledge! I don't know if he has a dance science background or just happens to fuse a perfect combination of exercises and movements together that engage the body in a fine-motoric way! I wish I could take his morning class once. Thank you!

Hi Joni! Thanks! We share a class of Ernst every Monday and Friday on KZread and go live with a class with dancers (via ZOOM) on Facebook on Wednesdays. All classes start at 11am(CET). You can find the next class here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eqytlZSOeNzSntI.html

Absolute poetry. I shall never look at the guy who comes to fix my water pipes in quite the same way again.

Love these lessons. I have been doing them with my 10 year old who is currently a RAD grade 3 a little difficult for her (also me as I have not done any ballet for 10 years) but she is really enjoying them as I am being asked everyday when we are going to do some ballet with Ernst and Rex. You have become a part of the family! Rex has also motivated her to practice the piano more! A massive thank you to both of you and all those behind the scenes. Keep them coming.

I miss my ballet classes but these videos are a wonderful way to get me through, thank you! I don't always remember for the left side so I just backtrack and follow along in reverse.

Thanks Ernst! I love your barres to keep me in shape and sane while confined in Philly!

Rex is my new fave quarantine buddy. What a stud. 💗💗💗

Merci beaucoup…very much appreciated after coming back post hip injury 20 years later to try to get back in shape.

The BEST pandemic-era ballet barres in my opinion! Thank you, Rex and Ernst, SO much!

Amazing Project. Thank you all. Mother of two kids trying to find time for herself :)

thank you very much! My daughter does not feel comfortable to go back to ballet school. This is a wonderful program she can do at home. It made me so happy to see her training her ballet skills.

Without a doubt the best barre and most intelligently produced video out there. The occasional guiding word on the left would be helpful.. Thanks Ernst.

Thank you for another great class! I'm enjoying the challenge of not having a teacher to follow on the second side because I have a bad habit of watching too much and not focusing on what I'm doing. And thank you Rex for the beautiful accompaniment! :)

Amazing again!!! Can't wait tomorrow following next class:) Thank you very much from Melbourne Australia 💖💗💞👍👍🙏

What a pleasure! From France! Thanks!

Outstanding!! I love the compilation of excersizes, the teachers explanations, the piano playing. I am so grateful you share these ressources not only to your dancers, but to everybody!!

Thanks again, great cues too...I agree with sugar plum.

I can only say, thank you, thank you, thank you, and bravo for such gracious, friendly, and helpful classes.

Wowww what a challenging fondue!... I hope my hips go more turn out!! Thank you 😍😍😍

Thank you for a wonderful class. I really, really enjoy the brisk pacing. I was able to do this before work today as a pick-me-up because it was a full barre under 40min!

Thank you so much. This old broad can still do most of these moves. The pianist is unreal. These videos are a great joy, but I admit to being sore.

Ernst, Rex, we love you in Paris! The film editing is also perfect. All my ballet friends are also dancing with you daily! My barre is my wall radiator...!! Hope you will not let us down when the lockdown is over, and we can enjoy many more classes with you!!! Take good care in Amsterdam XOXO

Thank you for those beautiful and effective classes. Legs warmed up but not tired. Thanks!

I like how your class is simple. Although your pianist is amazing, I prefer to see the opposite site as others say here. Taking ballet class at home means a lot of distractions for many people. :)

My very favorite online class! Ernst, and Rex, you both are EXCELLENT! Thank you! I am a ballet instructor in Wisconsin.

Thank you Ernst and Rex!

I love these classes ...

Best online class! Thank you! My students love you and your class! They really appreciate your taking the time to explain and point out corrections!Also they feel familiar with your vocabulary....

I am doing second class with Ernst Meisner from Dutch National Ballet. This one about 40 min, like it very much: movements are not repetitive, interesting, musics compliments movements, it makes feel gracious. I am attending Barre workouts in Canada, Vancouver, for about a year, and it is different from classical ballet: musics is modern, movements are combined with fitness. I was looking for such as classical workouts for long time and because of Corona- found it. Thank you very much, Ernst Meisner and Rex Lobo. Your kindness is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for the 2nd class! I enjoyed it. Feels much better now!!!

Although we are back in the studio for months now, I still do Ernst's classes occasionally. Perfect to reset the mind and straighten the body after a day of home office 😊

Thank you to Ernst and Rex! Such an uplifting and nice rigorous barre...this is a lovely gift for these difficult times
