This is a nice intermediate level, but surely not for beginners.

To all the people who have commented. This is definitely not as “beginner” as the wonderful David Howard Ballet for Beginners. However this is pretty much what I encountered when I attended my first adult beginner ballet class. I had to use all of my powers of “Monkey see, monkey do” and it was very frustrating but I stuck with it. One beginner adult walked out after 15 minutes mumbling anger. Another couple never returned for a second class. I found out that adult beginner class actually meant “you did ballet as a child but then stopped doing it for years but want to start again.” I am going to absolutely LOVE working daily with this video to improve my beginner ballet.

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.

Definitely not a beginners class! However, lovely 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."

For people watching this and freaking out, try Ballet Misfit’s absolute beginner videos. She starts with terms and positioning and really short combinations.

Beginners class, my ass. I’ve been taking class for over forty-five years, and this class crippled me. But, excellent class! Will do again.

So generous to offer these classes for free online. Much appreciated !

What a wonderful gift to all of us ballet students. I've participated in all of your classes and have hoped that there would-be more. You can't imagine the thrill knowing that you are posting new ones. In thanks for this gift, I will be so happy to send you a financial thank you and encourage everyone that enjoys your classes, to do the same.

please more class with this wondelful teacher it is not only beginners it is perfect to working again with base

Thank you so much for this! It makes me so happy everytime there is a new ballet class from your channel. You are amazing 🥰

So thrilled to have another class to enjoy from your wonderful company teachers. Thank you so very much everyone.

Thank you so much for these marvellous classes online, please keep on sharing new classes ever ! I really enjoy them.

decided to give this a try after eight years of not dancing!! thank you so much i had such a wonderful time!!

Thank you so much for posting this. Please keep the classes coming!!!!!!

This teacher is incredible. I love his teaching, the way he explains movement. He is clear and a precise. Honestly one of the best I've ever seen

Thank you so much! It’s perfect!!Even if it’s for beginners,I can go back and make sure the basic posture and the feeling.I appreciate Dario’s explanation, Paul’s piano ,dancer’s passion and the technique of camera people .I keep this lesson to repeat and I’m looking forward to your next lesson! Thank you ,Dutch National Ballet 😽

❤ ALWAYS DANCE WITH SOMEONE WHO IS BETTER THAN YOU ARE. It will keep you on your toes; pun intended❤ It's KILLLLLING me. I love it. Do your best and slow down when your technique fails. After your beginning (just starting) class, come here and try. You're beginning class will become a breeze...

I've been doing all of the Dutch National Ballet Series classes over the last few years. I have enjoyed them all! I enjoyed this class yesterday for the first time too! My legs are slightly crampy/sore today from that class! It is different than what I am used to, much faster paced though the exercises are not hard to remember. It is great to experience different classes with different instructors who have a little different style or method of teaching! It keeps us on our toes! :)

Wonderful to have you back - thank you so much!

Such a fantastic series idea. I look forward to completing all the classes! Thank you :)

Superb stretch of the Achilles through the foot all through the back 👍👍👍👍

Thank you so much for doing some more lovely classes! 😊

Can’t wait for more beginner classes!!

This is a fabulous class with wonderful commentary , combinations, and accompaniment. It is, however, not a true beginner class. As one who has taught both adult and children beginner classes, I would have lost most of my students in this level class. I look forward to more of these classes but would not recommend for a true beginner

I am a software engineer, but I did ballet years ago. I could immediately tell that I found the best video for a review of the fundamentals! Thanks a lot for making a wonderful video like this! Subscribed!

Since i do this the dribbling at my soccer matches became insane fast and precise. Thank you for this ^^

I love this. I tried this online class today for the first time and it feels wonderful. I’ve been attending Houston ballet academy for adults for almost a year and I could certainly take these classes when I’m unable all the way to downtown Houston. Thanks

I cannot wait to do this tomorrow! So excited to find this amazing ballet class.😮

Bella lezione! Grazie! Even for an old professional dancer, it felt good to do a little, easy barre at home!

TY for posting ❤ it; your instructions were extremely clear. My daughter began ballet again after a 2 year hiatus this will be extremely helpful to her. 🙏

I have been doing the Dutch National Ballet classes online since the start and they are brilliant, by far the best anywhere online. I would question whether this one is really for beginners. Port de bras to side arms 5th on demi-pointe in 2nd?? I'm ex-professional, and that's tough!! Thanks so much for all the videos, please keep them coming, and I'm more than happy to contribute financially.

A best ballet movement!

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!

Amazing! Thank you so much!

very useful work and tips thank you

It's a nice ballet class, but certainly not for begginers. I had to adapt the greatest part os the exercises and that's considering I had ballet classes for 7 years (but I had to stop in 2017). I'll try to repeat it over and over, reducing the video speed or something until I get it back to my 2017 level at least. It's a goal for 2023

Thank you! I love it!

Wonderful! I hope you will make center classes as well!

Well he looks fun and approachable

Okey, estoy tan exhausta mental y físicamente que se me podrían salir muy malas palabras ahora mismo... Esto definitivamente NO ES UNA CLASE PARA PRINCIPIANTES. Aún no se cómo sigo viva luego de esto!!!!!! Recomiendo ver los vídeos completos antes de hacer esto (no los primeros tres ejercicios como yo)... Dios siempre me mantiene viva y sana, pero hizo un esfuerzo especial la última hora, esto fue una locura... Y después de todo, quiero volver a hacerlo! LUEGO DE HACER UNAS CUANTAS CLASES QUE DE VERDAD SEAN PARA PRINCIPIANTES. Lo siento, no es personal, en realidad me calló bien el profe, es solo que estoy exhausta, pobre Paul no dejaba de meterme con él, en fin tengo sueño y probablemente nadie entienda este comentario. Que Dios te Bendiga y te acompañe siempre, en especial a tomar clases tan fucking crazy cómo estás 🐥

This channel should actually publish real beginner lessons. You do not need a fancy live piano player. And your audience should be little girls (and a few boys) being playful learning smooth movements and rhythm. Dus terug naar de tekentafel. Dit is adult-ballet voor mensen met vroegere balletervaring... A lot of subsidie spend on fancy stuff not needed, pro's and coach not needed at beginner level 😅 Still, it gives inspiration I guess. A goal to try to reach.

Maybe advanced beginner
