I don’t know why but watching Olga kindly observe the dancers makes me cry. I can’t handle how sweet and caring she looks and yet at the same time it amazes me how she manages to give all the individual advices between instructions. Everything is so smooth and beautiful.

@@hponce61 absolutely! What did I write? ... ah, Brandon?? Haha, I don't know where my mind was at. I remember checking that it's a double l and a double c in his surname. Ooops!
She seems like the most kindest gentlest but also super precise and she knows everybody’s name I love this woman she is just such a lovely instructor and so talented and knowledgeable and gentle with them
i don't know exactly how or why, but i get a very particular, yet incredibly good feeling watching those ballet classes. i can feel a pleasurable tranquility... i love the movements, the progression of rhythm and difficulty, the students exchanging glances, the clothes, the pianist... for a brief hour i can really disconnect from all my reality and feel myself there, inside that room, for a moment i can imagine myself living in a cloudy london, waking up early, taking the underground and going to that class. terrific! greetings from brazil! 💕
I too shed tears for my ballet years. I am 74 now and yet watching this I can feel each excercise like yesterday. I also enjoy hearing and remembering the words describing the movements. Memory is a wonderful thing.
I am recovering from a very bad ankle fracture and I have been doing this class (barre). It has helped immensely with my movement. I listen to Olga's directions and corrections. I have never danced, but I did do gymnastics many many years ago. My doctor and physio are impressed with my progress. So thank you very much!
Try getting some acupuncture from a good "Dr" that will help your recovery immensely. I now swear by acupuncture (from the right person) after three injuries in three years. One was a really bad ankle sprain - nothing as serious as yours. I'm older so my recovery was paramount... Acupuncture, chiro, foods/herbs to reduce inflammation and major doses of Vit D from the intense TX summer sun also helped a lot. Keep getting better and stronger!
As an older woman now, having been a dancer, a teacher and a dance teacher from my early teens into my 20’s, I truly appreciate Olga’s clear, precise ways with all her students. Dance is such a gentle way to love discipline, the arts, your community, the craft itself, the music, your fellow artists, and have respect for your teacher, and YES, your body, heart, and soul. So moving! Thank you 🙏
Im not a ballet dancer and never have been, but this randomly got recommended to me and this was the most calming thing to have on while journaling and preparing for the rest of my day i cant fully explain why but its like being part of the class without actually being there.
I can’t get over this instructor I’ve watched a lot of these classes I’ve never seen her but she is just the most gentle kind attentive and really connecting with students on a level that I’ve never seen anyone do
Love this. Made my day. Time for a coffee and pretending I could do this having never taken a ballet class in my life. So much respect for these amazingly talented people.
Hearing Olga's voice during class is giving me so much calmness and motivation to do more practices for being a better dancer💕 she is so beautiful and sweet with her beautiful smile✨
A big shout out to the pianist please! He is new in the company I guess? Great improvisations and tempos. I was very inspired! Many greetings from a colleague pianist :)
I always come back to this when I have insomnia. Its just so beautiful and soothing, it never fails to make me feel calm and cozy. Thank you for your dedication to this art form.
I really like this teacher, she is authoritative in correcting the mistakes of the dancers, without diminishing their skill. Had I had it, my life as a dancer would have been clearer...
@@laughgoddess When I went to see her at Dances at a Gathering I was so captivated just watching her, I was watching her walk to the back of the stage I didn't realise there was a PDD being danced at the front!
As an opera singer it's DEEPLY gratifying to watch such excellent and skilled practitioners of a sister art at work. It's interesting for me to note that discipline and technique are the most important criteria in all the classical arts.
I am not a dancer but a seventy nine year old artist who has very little interest in classical ballet and yet I begin many days watching these ballet classes. I find them terrifically moving and I'm not sure exactly why.
How come you feel a need to evaluate her physical appearance? We have all aged in those 9 years. Why not focus on how professional and knowledgeable she is instead (considering she is in fact teaching the class)?!
Love Olga! Such a gentle and caring teacher. And the pianist is wonderful! A great class to follow along at home, even for non-dancers, just for exercise and stretching.
It's so cool seeing all these dancers each has difference style, a character they bring into the dance. In a same movement, some people arch their body, while some people stay long and lean. Fascinating!
I don't have a balletic bone in my body (sadly) but watching these classes makes me feel like I could fly. Utterly mesmerising and beautiful to watch and the incredible work these dancers put in to make it look so effortless! I'm also in awe of the pianists!
No one does until they learn, practice and rehearse. I bet most of the people in this ballet class didn't either, they just wanted to be a ballet dancer and every person who starts a ballet class, has no idea what they're doing until the instructor tells them what to do, and slowly they become professional after continuous practice. People who want to be a doctor, they start off not knowing one thing about the human anatomy or even what kind of doctor they want to be, they first think of wanting to save lives and fix people. All you can do it try it. It's not easy but if you're passionate about ballet, you can turn out to be a famous ballet dancer!
Can I give a round of applause to the actual ballet dancers- their dedication, blood, sweat and tears is incredible! To get such poise in the way they move, they must have been training their whole lives!
I love watching Yasmine Naghdi dance. I hadn't known of her before World Ballet Day 2014 but she stood out when watching the class. All her arm and leg movements were so fluid and smooth. She's still someone who always stands out for me. I recognize her by seeing her movements before I see her face.
This is not just one of my favourite videos for relaxing, but I love stretching to it! I work as a stable groom and my body aches from it. I love my work but it's hard on my body, especially now in my 40's. I always stretch after work but it's only been a few months since I discovered Olga's classes and it's just the BEST video to listen to and watch while I stretch. Very few people can comprehend how much I need to stretch not to get injuries or simply too stiff to function and plenty of people have been shocked when I tell them that during the most strenuous days, I need to stretch and flex for up to an hour - in really gruesome cases an hour and a half! Listening to Olga and watching the class makes me feel like I have company - from people who more than most understand the time it requires to keep your body fit for a whole day of hard physical labor. Even if my job and theirs are worlds apart, I feel strangely understood. The foot excercises to strenghten the them at the barre are excersises I do too and just in general it helps me with posture and balance while handling the horses. I wish there were more of these videos with Olga. I've watched the ones I can find and they're amazing.
Absolutely love the ballet dancers... you're beautiful and elegant and classic. You're all precious. Wish there was more ballet in society. So graceful.
ballet is incredible demanding. thanks for sharing this video! I used to hang out with many ballet and modern dancers in Berlin, and they are among the hardest working people I have ever met!
Mistress Olga Ecreinoff is still as mesmerizing as ever. What an inspiration. I feel so much grateful. Thank you very much Madam, I to these wonderful dancers
Amazing how hard those single leg relieves are! i read the Australian Ballet's pt team have recommended this simple yet effective exercise to ward off injuries. Brava and Bravo to all! Thank you. xo
54:07 Olga "Soutenu could have been cleaner, willy. So how are you going to do the soutenu... Will, WILL, WILLLL" Absolutely love watching these classes :D
I started when I was three. Madame Slavinska allowed me to start at such an early age because I was so desperate to start. Her accent was similar, it brings back phenomenal memories. The ballet studio was my safe space for YEARS. I loved it.
I so wish I had stuck with ballet as a child. Like most young girls I did it briefly as a young kid, but only stuck with it for about a year or two before stopping. I'm not sure why I stopped, we were poor so maybe it was money. Or maybe my little child brain just wanted to do something else. Either way, now I'm 28 years old and have far too many health issues stemming from years of repeated injuries that even if starting this late was possible, I'd never dance professionally. Really really wish I'd stuck with it. If I'd had the chance to build up the strength and flexibility before things started going so poorly for me, my life could have been a lot different :( Beautiful dance. I'll continue to appreciate it from the sidelines regardless.
Nela and Mayara, how beautiful the expressivity in their eyes and movements, its like they can feel the music deep in the soul and turn it into dance ❤
I don’t know why but I keep watching the whole video and cannot help but trying to follow the warm up session. I’m amazed about the stretch they made and the such beautiful body! ❤ Thanks!
I like how the older French ballerina puts the English boys and girls through their paces, and they know it too.l like it. I think she's very kind and very knowledgeable. I like her a lot. You're lucky to have her. Really you are.
Thought I was suffering "de ja vu" but realise it's just the morning class rather than the whole video from the other day! This class, with this instructor, is the best of the lot.
When I tried ballet later in life my teacher addressed my hand movements and said quote. YOU ARE NOT A TREE. lol. What a great teacher and such beautiful graceful youth.

Mein Leben war nicht nur schön, aber schlussendlich im Ganzen doch. ❤Grüsse von Kreta 🧜🏻♂️ 🦀🐋🦚🌞verliert nie den Mut und lasst den Humor wachsen. UND liebt, was Ihr tut!🌈
This is one of my favorite classes. I appreciated quality of the video and audio from the production team who put this together so well. It felt like I am there taking the class with these beautiful dancers. The pianist and music choice is also my favorites, I can watch this video everyday and transported into lala land.
Not sure why this came across my feed of videos. Was feeling so tired and trying to get my own workout in. Never did ballet but as a child I always wanted to try...now at 62 just trying to keep healthy. Lovely video...will watch again. Now its motivated me back to my yoga mat. Cheers and you are all special
man, i can't believe they put the world's most beautiful and talented people in one place. but seriously i love these classes and seeing old and new faces, (especially nela and olga!!!) i've watched these so much that i even recognize a lot of the corps de ballet when i watch performances, which is great because i think they're just as amazing as soloists and principals 💗
Thank you for filming these training sessions. It’s awesome to watch these beautiful and talented dancers of The Royal Ballet Co. Olga is a treasure of an instructor! How fortunate these young dancers are to have someone of her lovely personality passing on her knowledge to them. Someday I will come to performance.
The teacher is creative and genious. High musicality. Kind person. The dancers are amazing, incredible technique, high intelligence and great musicality. I admire them. How can they learn the steps so quickly and dance with great expression the first time? Next time I travel to London, I want to see the Royal Ballet live.
I love to watch Ms. Evreinoff teaches. She points out tiny things so the dancers and improve better. Some other instructors just say great then continues…
How much I love you guys is beyond words. My favorite ballet company because of your sweet souls and immense talent. Thank you so very much for getting the Beloved Olga again - she is an Angel, healing the world with her multifaceted beauty, grace, elegance and the most Beautiful, Gentle Heart ❤️ ❤️ ❤️. Please send her my admiration and hugs. Sending all of you a lot of love and deep appreciation. And That music.. I am out of words now and all in tears of joy.
I wish Olga had a dvd or online class specifically for folks to follow at home. She's such a beautiful teacher, but the camera work on these often obscures what they're doing.
Yeah, there are full sequences where they don‘t show feet at all. Impossible to follow for a beginner like me 😅 but nothing but respect for the teacher and the dancers. Pure athletisism.
My fav world ballet day video. I like every dancer has their own cut. and it looks easier to follow movement. As adult baller student , i like watching this video and do warm up at home during covid. Music, instructor ,and every dancer are beautiful and expressing themselves amazingly.
Each and every one of them are so beautiful!!!! Truly living, breathing masterpieces. This was incredibly beautiful and lovely to watch 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💫💫💫💖💫💫💖💖💖💫💖💫💖💫💖💫💖💫💫💖💖💖💖💫💖💫💖💖
Mme Olga Evreinoff, your classis so interesting! I felt the need to do try barre with the class. I do not have the flexibility to do it al, but it felt good to do what I could!
I don’t know why but watching Olga kindly observe the dancers makes me cry. I can’t handle how sweet and caring she looks and yet at the same time it amazes me how she manages to give all the individual advices between instructions. Everything is so smooth and beautiful.
She is so inspiring and seems to be noticing everything.
She has this funny way of making some corrections as well, like in 3:40 and 1:02:38.
I missed her. She’s an amazing instructor.
O

because its a safe world where things go as they should.
you should try ballet, it is an amazing journey especially as an adult dancer
Next best thing to taking class is watching. So ASMR.

A big shout out to the pianist please! He is new in the company I guess? Great improvisations and tempos. I was very inspired! Many greetings from a colleague pianist :)
I agree,, being an accompanist myself!!! Pure joy
Beautiful music, was admiring it myself. Ah, the piano….❤️❤️❤️
Do you know if the entirely of the music was improvised?? Or was their a base melody or anything.
@@hectorwebster-bligh5283 it's all improvisation

I always come back to this when I have insomnia. Its just so beautiful and soothing, it never fails to make me feel calm and cozy. Thank you for your dedication to this art form.
Team Insomnia in the haus
She is a wonderful teacher; very encouraging and calming and encouraging.
I really like this teacher, she is authoritative in correcting the mistakes of the dancers, without diminishing their skill. Had I had it, my life as a dancer would have been clearer...
How does Nela do the simplest thing at the barre and yet you're captivated and she looks as if it's a performance, so much grace. She's just amazing.
Yes yes yes...I thought the same thing.
@@laughgoddess When I went to see her at Dances at a Gathering I was so captivated just watching her, I was watching her walk to the back of the stage I didn't realise there was a PDD being danced at the front!
Nice to see Yuhui Choe back. I know she was on maternity leave but I missed seeing her on this channel for a while.
I know right? I still wonder to this day why she has never been promoted to principal.
😅😅
As an opera singer it's DEEPLY gratifying to watch such excellent and skilled practitioners of a sister art at work. It's interesting for me to note that discipline and technique are the most important criteria in all the classical arts.
the little "non puoi fare così" ("you can't do it like that") in italian at 4:26 made my heart melt, this lady is so sweet and gentle i love her
Eh si, le frasi in Italiano hanno colpito anche me. Ciao!

10:05 a real artist enjoying the music, Nela! 💜
that was such a beautiful moment thanks for pointing it out!
I am not a dancer but a seventy nine year old artist who has very little interest in classical ballet and yet I begin many days watching these ballet classes. I find them terrifically moving and I'm not sure exactly why.
The pianist is a beautiful artist as well! Bravo!
The instructor is wonderful, I love how she smiles, she enjoys every minute!
I was waiting for this class for an entire year. I love to watch and rewatch the Royal Ballet classes. Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Me too..nj-usa
me too , since 2014 .- Chile
me too!!! it's so calming and healing. ca-usa
Same :)
It's so great to see Olga again, almost exactly the same look as 9 years ago. Yet her voice tells the aging, but can't hide her grace.
How come you feel a need to evaluate her physical appearance? We have all aged in those 9 years. Why not focus on how professional and knowledgeable she is instead (considering she is in fact teaching the class)?!
Love Olga! Such a gentle and caring teacher. And the pianist is wonderful! A great class to follow along at home, even for non-dancers, just for exercise and stretching.
I really really love to see how different every student dresses for the clases 🥰
It blows my MIND to see so many dancers I’ve watched over the years starting from their Prix De Lausanne debuts…Royal Ballet has SOOO many of them ❤️
It's so cool seeing all these dancers each has difference style, a character they bring into the dance. In a same movement, some people arch their body, while some people stay long and lean. Fascinating!
Took a ballet class in college that taught me how incredibly challenging ballet is. Ballet dancers have beautifully developed muscles.
oh my goodness, what beautiful young people, including Olga Every should such ballet sometime in their life.
I don't have a balletic bone in my body (sadly) but watching these classes makes me feel like I could fly. Utterly mesmerising and beautiful to watch and the incredible work these dancers put in to make it look so effortless! I'm also in awe of the pianists!
No one does until they learn, practice and rehearse. I bet most of the people in this ballet class didn't either, they just wanted to be a ballet dancer and every person who starts a ballet class, has no idea what they're doing until the instructor tells them what to do, and slowly they become professional after continuous practice. People who want to be a doctor, they start off not knowing one thing about the human anatomy or even what kind of doctor they want to be, they first think of wanting to save lives and fix people. All you can do it try it. It's not easy but if you're passionate about ballet, you can turn out to be a famous ballet dancer!
Can I give a round of applause to the actual ballet dancers- their dedication, blood, sweat and tears is incredible! To get such poise in the way they move, they must have been training their whole lives!
I love watching Yasmine Naghdi dance. I hadn't known of her before World Ballet Day 2014 but she stood out when watching the class. All her arm and leg movements were so fluid and smooth. She's still someone who always stands out for me. I recognize her by seeing her movements before I see her face.
Love the way they have a live pianist as opposed to recorded music, it’s lovely. Wouldn’t mind that job myself.
This is not just one of my favourite videos for relaxing, but I love stretching to it! I work as a stable groom and my body aches from it. I love my work but it's hard on my body, especially now in my 40's. I always stretch after work but it's only been a few months since I discovered Olga's classes and it's just the BEST video to listen to and watch while I stretch.
Very few people can comprehend how much I need to stretch not to get injuries or simply too stiff to function and plenty of people have been shocked when I tell them that during the most strenuous days, I need to stretch and flex for up to an hour - in really gruesome cases an hour and a half!
Listening to Olga and watching the class makes me feel like I have company - from people who more than most understand the time it requires to keep your body fit for a whole day of hard physical labor. Even if my job and theirs are worlds apart, I feel strangely understood.
The foot excercises to strenghten the them at the barre are excersises I do too and just in general it helps me with posture and balance while handling the horses.
I wish there were more of these videos with Olga. I've watched the ones I can find and they're amazing.
We are witnessing the emergence of the stars of the future. Look how much attention
they are paying to Olga. Beautiful.
I'm amazed at how many languages Olga can give personal advices
This is so calming. Its incredible how much dedication these dancers have, and it turns out so beautiful. ❤
What a nice, gentle, smiling professor. Also, I loved to see Mayara Magri in class. Brazilian and proud here. ❤
I really love it when Olga's teaching the class. She has a keen eye on how the dancer will improve and how they should execute a the step.
Out of all the world ballet class - this is by far the best, Due to Olga 😊
Absolutely love the ballet dancers... you're beautiful and elegant and classic. You're all precious. Wish there was more ballet in society. So graceful.
Thank you!

Such a beautiful class! I love Olga’s teaching! Thanks for uploading it for us! 🙏🏼🩰✨🤍
Love watching and listening to Olga teach.
ballet is incredible demanding. thanks for sharing this video! I used to hang out with many ballet and modern dancers in Berlin, and they are among the hardest working people I have ever met!
Mistress Olga Ecreinoff is still as mesmerizing as ever. What an inspiration. I feel so much grateful. Thank you very much Madam, I to these wonderful dancers
Amazing how hard those single leg relieves are! i read the Australian Ballet's pt team have recommended this simple yet effective exercise to ward off injuries. Brava and Bravo to all! Thank you. xo
This was a joy to watch, such strength of focus from the students and such care and understanding from Olga, she is a wonderful soul. Joy
54:07 Olga "Soutenu could have been cleaner, willy. So how are you going to do the soutenu... Will, WILL, WILLLL"
Absolutely love watching these classes :D
Loveeeeed that moment so so so funny, he should've ran back to her though tbh, cause it felt like he had a little attitude (and not the leg one).
She’s the sweetest ballet teacher I’ve ever seen, she’s teaching with love and that’s beautiful🥰
This is such a gift every year! 🙏🏽
I started when I was three. Madame Slavinska allowed me to start at such an early age because I was so desperate to start. Her accent was similar, it brings back phenomenal memories. The ballet studio was my safe space for YEARS. I loved it.
This is all very fascinating to me. No clue why but I enjoy watching it
I so wish I had stuck with ballet as a child. Like most young girls I did it briefly as a young kid, but only stuck with it for about a year or two before stopping. I'm not sure why I stopped, we were poor so maybe it was money. Or maybe my little child brain just wanted to do something else. Either way, now I'm 28 years old and have far too many health issues stemming from years of repeated injuries that even if starting this late was possible, I'd never dance professionally. Really really wish I'd stuck with it. If I'd had the chance to build up the strength and flexibility before things started going so poorly for me, my life could have been a lot different :( Beautiful dance. I'll continue to appreciate it from the sidelines regardless.
Beautiful. What these people do for art , beauty and grace is beyond comprehension ❤️🔥
Nela and Mayara, how beautiful the expressivity in their eyes and movements, its like they can feel the music deep in the soul and turn it into dance ❤
Olga what an passionate and inspiring teacher to watch and for her students... amazing.. watched every bit. bravo
I'm so glad they got Olga to come back!!!!!!! I was really hoping to see her lead class again! I loved the 2018 class video :)))
I was at the class in 2019 and it was wonderul to see Olga. A birthday treat from my daughter for my 80th
wonderful teacher Olga and beautiful piano❤️❤️❤️✨✨
I don’t know why but I keep watching the whole video and cannot help but trying to follow the warm up session. I’m amazed about the stretch they made and the such beautiful body! ❤ Thanks!
The best ballet company in the world. I love this teacher!
I like how the older French ballerina puts the English boys and girls through their paces, and they know it too.l like it. I think she's very kind and very knowledgeable. I like her a lot. You're lucky to have her. Really you are.
She’s not French.
I like how 1 of the hardest exercises is the releves!! You can tell because the dancers are concentrating so hard interspersed with silliness.
Thought I was suffering "de ja vu" but realise it's just the morning class rather than the whole video from the other day! This class, with this instructor, is the best of the lot.
Wow. Great teacher. Amazing pianist. So amazing to see the company up close like this.
Olga! I love her classes. Such energy and good energy. ❤
When I tried ballet later in life my teacher addressed my hand movements and said quote. YOU ARE NOT A TREE. lol. What a great teacher and such beautiful graceful youth.

This is one of my favorite classes. I appreciated quality of the video and audio from the production team who put this together so well. It felt like I am there taking the class with these beautiful dancers. The pianist and music choice is also my favorites, I can watch this video everyday and transported into lala land.
What a beautiful ballet class 🩰 with the live piano 🎹. I love it 💖
Not sure why this came across my feed of videos. Was feeling so tired and trying to get my own workout in. Never did ballet but as a child I always wanted to try...now at 62 just trying to keep healthy. Lovely video...will watch again. Now its motivated me back to my yoga mat. Cheers and you are all special
man, i can't believe they put the world's most beautiful and talented people in one place.
but seriously i love these classes and seeing old and new faces, (especially nela and olga!!!) i've watched these so much that i even recognize a lot of the corps de ballet when i watch performances, which is great because i think they're just as amazing as soloists and principals 💗
Thank you for filming these training sessions. It’s awesome to watch these beautiful and talented dancers of The Royal Ballet Co. Olga is a treasure of an instructor! How fortunate these young dancers are to have someone of her lovely personality passing on her knowledge to them.
Someday I will come to performance.
The teacher is creative and genious. High musicality. Kind person. The dancers are amazing, incredible technique, high intelligence and great musicality. I admire them. How can they learn the steps so quickly and dance with great expression the first time? Next time I travel to London, I want to see the Royal Ballet live.
The complete class is sheer a bunch of flowers and chocolate all together. They are gorgeous, especially the boys because of their power and strength.
I love to watch Ms. Evreinoff teaches. She points out tiny things so the dancers and improve better. Some other instructors just say great then continues…
My God the accompanist, yes my goodness yes! I am screaming ❤️✨. Everyone, the whole entirety of class, magnifique!
Amazing accompanist!!!Thank you
the accompanist who is never credited in these videos....i find it astonishing! He/She needs to be mentioned alongside the teacher.
Eu vi logo a Mayara Magri
How much I love you guys is beyond words. My favorite ballet company because of your sweet souls and immense talent. Thank you so very much for getting the Beloved Olga again - she is an Angel, healing the world with her multifaceted beauty, grace, elegance and the most Beautiful, Gentle Heart ❤️ ❤️ ❤️. Please send her my admiration and hugs. Sending all of you a lot of love and deep appreciation. And That music.. I am out of words now and all in tears of joy.
Many new faces in the company! Even Olga seems to be struggling with all the names
Why natalia is never in ballet classes ?
I think the most interesting part of watching multiple world ballet days back to back is to see the changing faces of those in the class
so glad Olga taught the class 🥰
I wish Olga had a dvd or online class specifically for folks to follow at home. She's such a beautiful teacher, but the camera work on these often obscures what they're doing.
Totally agree. For my 80th birthday my daughter treated us to a live class - and it was Olga teaching!! Amazing.
Yeah, there are full sequences where they don‘t show feet at all. Impossible to follow for a beginner like me 😅 but nothing but respect for the teacher and the dancers. Pure athletisism.
@@margaretlavender9647 what a marvelous birthday present! Can I be you when I grow up, lol? I'm 52 though so maybe I never will. ;)
Love OLGA she's fabulous also Piano person he's fabulous as well.
Many Many new faces from 2020 it seems.
Love seeing so many familiar faces, and so many new ones!! Beautiful as always
watching this inspires me to work harder in class💗look how much they're sweating, 20 minutes in!! much love
My fav world ballet day video. I like every dancer has their own cut. and it looks easier to follow movement. As adult baller student , i like watching this video and do warm up at home during covid. Music, instructor ,and every dancer are beautiful and expressing themselves amazingly.
I've been coming back from an injury and watching this made me miss dancing even more but also excited to try again :)
Loving the tone and corrections. Beautiful humans!
I love ballet.... Olga is, best teacher
I love the piece played on the piano at 3:30... so beautiful
Olga is such an amazing principal ballet guest teacher. 😊💗
Each and every one of them are so beautiful!!!! Truly living, breathing masterpieces. This was incredibly beautiful and lovely to watch 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💫💫💫💖💫💫💖💖💖💫💖💫💖💫💖💫💖💫💫💖💖💖💖💫💖💫💖💖
I did *not* expect myself to get out of bed and participate. This was so much fun!
Teacher Olga!! I’ve been waiting for you since 2018 royal ballet class!! How good to see you!! ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Mme Olga Evreinoff, your classis so interesting! I felt the need to do try barre with the class. I do not have the flexibility to do it al, but it felt good to do what I could!
I love this Company and the Principal Ballet Mistres.Fierce...
The pianist is wonderful also!
Even tho it's only an class, It's still so beautiful to whatch ! They are so delicate while doing the movements
