Love this video! Wonderfully made. I feel like I'm in an authentic ballet class. More ballet class please! 20, 30, 45 min basic techniques for everyday would be great for us non-ballerinas! The video editing, camera filming of the two angles along with your instructions and classical music is perfect. And your wonderful cheery personality is the cherry on top! You're a great teacher! Thank you!

Michelle thank you so much for your lovely comment! I'm so happy i can transform your lounge in an authentic ballet studio and glad you are joining me at the barre! There will be soon another ballet barre, slightly more challenging (it's a full barre;D) and with lots of explanations in it. I'm also organising a more tutorial video where you'll be able to understand each and every step fully ! I will pass on the compliments about the videos to the man, you are right he's doing a really good job and he deserves some credits too! The music is played by a dearest friend of mine, Massimiliano Greco, funny enough i had the honour to listen to that exact plie music before he even decided to put in on cd, I was 15 then, and this music really takes me back to those days.I really do have a soft spot for his music ;) Keep me updated with your progress and let me now if there is anything in particular i can help with! I'm always here to answer any question! Lots of baci Ciao Alessia

These ballet classes are by far the best exercises on the web.... I am obsessed with doing a workout every day. I feel as if I am a ballerina, doing class warm up exercises.. Your body is an inspiration to aspire to. Love the calming music, the introduction to the movements and the movements themselves are controllable. It feels as if I am in your class with your sense of humour, your smile and your encouragement.... please carry on.... May we all go from strength to beautiful, toned bodies with you,

Your videos have given me a new lease of ballet life at 60. I went to classes when I was 5 and had a cruel tutor that put me off for life but I have always loved ballet. I have certainly missed out all these years but your direction, joy and humour have made my spirits lift and the piano music and barre work are my new daily fitness regime. Thank You So Much!....

I wanted to learn ballet as a kid (had a phase) but never took lessons bc they're too expensive.

I am DRIPPING in sweat after doing this! I feel like a duck doing these barre workouts, but the results are real. I feel less and less like that every time.

I’m a retired ballet dancer and I LOVED IT. Keeps you in shape. Thank you.

love the piano, played loudly. makes me feel like I'm in dance class, and it keeps me motivated. thanks!

Hello Paula! I'm actually planning to do "how to series", where we can concentrate on every move. It is definitely on the list of "things to do". I might take a bit of time as i'd like to organise it well and deliver it the best way i can. If you have any question on anything in particular you'd like to see in the video let me know! Thank you again for your request ! Ciao Alessia :D :D :D

I used to have ballet lessons but I quitted because I got a new sibling but I miss having ballet classes. So now, today I decided to watch ballet exercises because I don't really remember a lot of things in my ballet classes. This really gave me like real ballet classes vibes. Thank you for this❤

I'm almost 50 and as a former professional dancer, I am so happy to have found your videos. Your combinations are fluid and lyrical and your technique is an inspiration. Beautiful lines, feet and turnout! You're a wonderful teacher. So rare to find this on a KZread video. Thank you SO much!!!

These are awesome! I miss ballet and I see a lot of barre workouts with ZERO technique so this is a complete delight. I hope you'll put together a technical "how to" of turnout, arms and posture for all those people who are missing out and risking injury with these non-dancer barre teachers!

It's nice you have two cameras

Hello! Merci for your channel :) It would be nice to see you from back to follow the same side, easier (for beginners I guess, like me :D ) also, I don't see much but your flat looks really nice! xoxo

new to the practice, fell in love with ballet during the pandemic after being a lifelong classical musician. Your movements are so fluid and gorgeous and I love your videos!! Thank you!

those last ones definitely had me scrambling, so glad no one was watching! still super enjoyable :D

I love ballet so much....and if I hadn't been 25 and with a full time job and a screwed up back, I would have started to take ballet lessons. This the best I can do at home and enjoy it so much. Thank you so much! So beautiful!!!!

I just came across this video and I'm already IN LOVE. Gotta go explore your entire channel

Hi Lola !!! You make me blush! Welcome to the channel and happy exploring! Ciao Alessia :D

You are amazing! You have a lightheartedness about your teaching that makes it so welcome. After a long battle with lupus I am so excited to be doing barre again and your classes are making the comeback so much nicer!

Awesome. I'm over 60 and enjoyed the moves I COULD do!!! Nice

Just took my first ballet class today, and this video made me feel the same way : I CAN'T FOLLOW !! haha Thank you , this video is perfect to train home and improve ♥

Haven't done ballet for a year because of an injury and just trying to get back into shape. It shocks me how hard these exercises are for me now but I'm excited for the journey, thank you so much Alessia!

I've never done ballet (or any dancing) before and this felt so difficult and good. You're a good teacher.

This was EXACTLY the kind of ballet video I was hoping to find! I did dance as a teenager about 15 years ago, but when I tried again as an adult I was very overwhelmed and found it hard to follow along. This was so easy to follow and I was surprised how much I remembered from back then/watching through Dance Academy about 20 times! I'm trying to get more creative with exercising and finding things that I will actually WANT to do, and this was a great place to start!

I absolutely adore your ballet exercises. It takes me back to when I studied ballet years ago. I started last year with Slow Barre and now this one and I love it. Thank you!

I've been following for a while and this is the barre that I keep coming back to. I just love the music and the combinations. They're perfect for practice on days when I don't have class. Now I just need to select a centre video and a stretching video for my practices

I just love these barres/work-outs. I’ve been doing them since lockdown started and I am still surprised when each session ends - proof they must be fun!! And they are so definitely doing me a lot of good. Thank you, Alessia!

This is my favorite video of yours. Please do something similar, but on an even more basic level for beginners? Also looking for a good beginner center work vid. You're my hero!

Alessia - saving Quarentine here in California - thank you for this simple barre that kills me overtime!

Awesome tips, thank you so much for your time and teaching! I'm a contemporary and modern jazz dancer in France and even though I love so much what I am doing I sometimes feel like I am lacking of ballet training... this video helps me to stay on point!

Thanks to quarantine, I'm back in my ballet slippers dancing away in my kitchen. Thank you for your perfectly guided class and adorable co-star.

Thank you Alesia for providing home ballet exercises now that we're all in quarantine here in Greece..especially for the legs.....hope you're keeping safe....Alexandra

I loved it! I used to be a modern dancer and have recently gone back to dance classes. This is great for me on days when I can’t get to class. You are friendly, encouraging and inspiring to watch. Great music too.

I did an hour and a half of your barre videos today and feel amazing and sore now. Can’t wait to do them again tomorrow!

This is like... The best thing that happened to me this year so far... Thank you so much!

All your lazy ballet workouts are a bright spot during this corona era in NYC. I had never taken ballet before but you make the steps scaleable and approachable. Brava! I love the cat sightings too.

Ballet is my passion and I am definitely balerina inside even if I don't dance the best. I love to dance with my the best friend and ballet really turned my life into happiness.

Perfect workout for rusty a dancer like myself who can't find a good adult ballet class locally. A nice mix of simple and more complex with option to go hard! And you are just so lovely as well. Thank you, Alessia!

Revisiting these videos after years of not doing ballet and I love these so much. Thank you! ❤

Your voice motivates me to stay real with the part of myself that wants to do nothing more than dance through life. Thank you so much!

I have now 2 years since I watch your videos. You are beautiful and very creative in presenting your classes, and the music is never boring, really cclassy

I just found your channel! As a former professional and currently out of shape dancer, I am very excited to get back into it! I haven't taken a ballet class in over 10 years, but your videos are perfect to do in my home studio space! Love your commentary as well!

This has kicked my butt today. I love you for making these videos!!

I love dance so much and it’s hard to find classes that fit my schedule living in a small town. I love the mini barre workout and look forward to trying more of your workouts!

that was a perfect mini barre! just what I wanted without having to think it up on my own! thank you!

That was amazing! I used to dance when I was a lot younger, and I am getting back into it for fitness. I am not a beginner, but a re-beginner lol... my body doesn’t seem to want to cooperate with what I picture myself doing ... 25 years ago. I’ll keep with it, thank you!

I have been doing your ballet videos for 3 months. I always wanted to dance when I was a young girl and now I am almost 52 and thought why not give it a try.I absolutely love it and can not get enough of it! I hope to see improve,ent with my flexibility over time. Thank you so much !

Thank you so much Alessia! Here in Germany the studios are still closed so I have been taking your classes for months now❤ I was so surprised when I saw that I had actually improved these past months and it's all thanks to you, you are such an inspiration!😍

you are a brilliant teacher! explaining the movements clearly and talking one through the steps!! AND doing BOTH sides. Thank you thank you! I am 53 yrs old, ex brilliant ballerina!!HAhaha , working crazy hours and looking for online class! Yours is perfect! Please do more in same style!

Hello Anel, I'm so glad to read your kind words! Thank you so much. I'm so pleased i can be part of your daily routine! I promise i will do more classes like this. it was our first experiment but considering everyone is happy about it, we'll definitely video some more. Age doesn't matter when we want to dance-dance-dance, You have no idea how much i admire you for having such a passion and strength. Keep on going, it gives me one more reason to keep going too! Thank you again ! All my love Alessia

This is amazing! Thank you so much for uploading this. I haven’t practiced ballet in 8 years. I have been meaning to take classes again but I am not as slim as I used to be back when I was 14 years old and it makes me very self conscious, so this will certainly help me regain my confidence! I can still remember most of the steps, amazing what the body can recall after years without training! Love from Argentina

Another 65 year old ex dancer:) lovely barre class fast and snappy:) Thank you.xx

I haven't danced for 15 years, and this is just great!! Thanks :-)

This video is amazing! Working on getting in shape for my wedding next year and just for me in general. I just started and haven't really done any ballet before but this is helping me get the hang of things. You explain things wonderfully. I do get beginner's frustration but your personality and this routine have me determined to keep going. Thank you for posting!

I would love more classical ballet barres!! Both shorter ones like this and longer ones. They're my favorite.

Bravo, i love these exercises easy and with the chair !!! Good idea !!! The musics are well known. 😉☺️Thanks for these choices 😻

I am so excited to have found your videos! I am a former dancer and want to work out but it gets so boring. Doing ballet again refreshes my spirit while working my body. Thank you !

Loved your workout. Haven't done ballet in years. I had a BALL! Great workout and I feel about 20 years younger!

More mini classes please loved it 😭😍🙌🏾

I've never done this video before, short but challenging.. LOVE ITTT

I absolutely love your videos! I do not have the time or money to attend ballet classes, so this is a huge blessing to me. I am 43, have always wanted to be a ballet dancer but never had the opportunity. Now I can do it in the comfort of my own home. Thank you so very much!!!!!

I just had a go at this workout, my first ever ballet type and loved it! You just got one more fan. Thanks Alexia!

This video is just what I need during quarantine in San Francisco! Very clear instruction and wonderful energy. Thank you!

Thank you! I used to do ballet in university, and this woke up my muscle memory. Now, as a mama of two kids, I’m just trying to get a workout in. It was so much fun! I’m going to start a ballet routine now. God bless!

Hi Alessia, I'm Russian, I have ballet base that I got in my childhood. I'm so happy to find your channel with right classical exercises and workouts. I wish you all the best and I'm sure that I will stay with you after quarantine!

Alessia, I love your videos. Such a life saver during this difficult time. Thank you so much x

INCREDIBLY informative. Clear. Doable. Thank you so much, you are the best!!

Beautiful and vigorous mini barre for home! Love this... my new morning routine

Thank you for doing the multiple angles!

I absolutely LOVE this video! Thank you for creating it.

I love this class! I've come back to it quite a few times. I always feel better after your classes. Getting stronger every day at 45! Ballet helped my knees heal after torn meniscus surgery on each knee. Thank you! Happy Valentine's Day! Sending lots of love to you from Cleveland, Ohio in the USA.

I just discovered your channel and fell in love with your classical barre workouts! The music you selected is perfect for this beautifully choreographed routine.The song Piles from the second routine had me run and add it to my playlist of favorite classical songs. I'm a beginner so thank you for explaining it for us! Please keep them coming, especially for us newbies. My best to you from California.

I haven’t taken a ballet class since the 90s. I’m now 64 and working my way back slowly. Starting yesterday! Don’t know what I was waiting for! Today I made it to 14 minutes.

I haven‘t done ballet in 4 years (after 14 years of weekly classes) - now in quarantine I though I might give it a go again! Pretty exhausting at the beginning but I feel the strength building in my legs again and your video is so much fun to follow! Thanks a lot!

I danced Ballet most my adult and loved it . I am 63 , and doing ballet to these videos has brought my passion back . I think the dancers teaching the class are beautiful dancers and do a wonderful class that is easy to follow and gives me a wonderful workout that I can't wait til my next class and look forward to trying all the videos . Great job .

I started with your videos two weeks ago after 15 years , this video at the first time was too difficult, so I have done some others but today, it's okay ! waouh! thanks a lot, you're a very good teacher! ( 43 years old from France)

Loved this class! I'm going to incorporate more of these. Hearing your approach as an instructor just brought back so many memories, and I wanted to do well. Thank you for these! Looking forward to seeing what all you have on your channel. 💗

Today is mental ....I just love this class its my favorite when my time is limited god bless lovely girl

Oh my gosh! I made it through the entire video...need work with form and timing but, I've been doing Pilates, which has really helped me!

I love your teaching style, this is a great video for warming up.

Definitely my favoured quick Barr thankyou iam set up now thanks

So I’m on a bit of a break and I’ve found your vids to stay in shape 🥰 absolutely loving it

I had one hip replaced and awaiting the other soon. I can barely do anything, but I enjoyed doing as much as I could. Thank you.

That was tough, but I tried and got a good portion of it. I will come back and try again, as it was lots of fun. Thank you

That was sooo much fun. Super challenging too. Thank you Alexia! You are a gift

This is great for me low impact easy work out

I've been doing various workouts on your channel for a week and tonight finally got all the way through this mini barre!
