This is going to sound really stupid, but I've been doing some of the exercises on the videos. I'm 302 lb and I never danced ballet in my life. I'm obviously limited as to how much I can physically do, but watching these wonderful videos has given me the motivation to get my fat butt off the couch and move. Thank you so much for posting all these videos! The instructor is magnificent, and the ballet dancers are so graceful. Ballet is such a beautiful art AND a lot of hard work!!
DesertRose76 , this does not sound stupid at all. I think that’s part of the point of posting these vids, is to inspire people to try ballet. It’s a wonderful way to get to know your body and what it is capable of. And everyone is limited in what we can do, especially compared to professional ballet dancers, who have been doing this every day for years and years. If doing ballet makes you feel good, then do what you can and enjoy it!!!
Good for you! You are paying attention to what inspires you. I had a dance teacher many years ago who was quite heavy but she was good. As a teacher and dancer. Maybe not 300 pounds, but you can change that gradually, slowly, over time, without pressuring yourself, just starting to develop better habits. This is part of it! Just move a bit every day, then it will be more, then more. I watch these for inspiration and relaxation. I had a lot of dance training but I can't do this!

Love the moment 1:00:20 when Olga says: "it should be happening in the air" and piano master start playing cancan more... joyous ;) is big help for jumping dancers! Bravo!
Reading the comments I think that Olga have more fans than the dancers. She seems to be very sweet and also a very cultivated person that speak several languages.
Evreinoff is a living world treasure of ballet - student of Dudinskaya at the Kirov, and beloved by Makarova and respected by Baryshnikov and Nureyev as a teacher and regisseur. She is a state secret of many world-class ballet companies and watching her class is a rare opportunity. It's so great to see this video!
I’m so glad that the ROH decided to keep the morning class on TH-cam. It’s so amazing to return to the past morning classes and have a follow along routine or merely an inspiration for a rainy day to watch 😍
Every dancer / student is having a great time. This is an avid passion with them all. Olga is a superb Guest Ballet Mistress. She surely knows her stuff. So much of experience and confidence. Not a bit of ego.
4:39 she seems to LOVE ballet so much. Every year I still recognized her in these videos and she's clearly a perfectionnist. At the end at every exercises, she seems to be the only one to hold her position
This is just great! I can watch a company class for hours :) I always look for the familiar faces and it is so nice to see Steven Mcrae and Sarah Lamb.
I just love the adagio at 00:18:50 and the music choice,for the adagio! What a beautiful gesture from The Royal Ballet to both the incredible composer Jean Sibelius as well as to Finland’s 100th independence year. A grand thank you 😘
Ray was a fantastic host. Unsung hero imo. I love stuff Olga says, like: “It should be happening in the air. You can do better!” This is my favorite class from WBD, and I watched all of them. But this one everyday since it was posted! Thanks a million trillion WBD and Royal Ballet esp.!!!
love Olga, how she demos as she talks, and how she talks in time with the music :) also so soothing watching these videos. I want to install a bar and mirrors in my house and I've never taken a single ballet class LOL
Wow! Everybody floats! My mother was a ballet teacher (died in 1994), but she wasn't anything like this, and neither were we, her students. This is incredible! Thank you.
Olga is amazing, she's the kind of teacher who really brings out the best in her students. When she's teaching I actually join in, because her passion is contagious.
This brings back memories and made me cry because I quit ballet because I lost my motivation and love for it. My last teacher wasn't so great, she was just horrible and self centered. Unlike my first one where she took her time and helped each one of us. If I could turn back time I would had never quit. Ballet is such a lovely art, its like poetry that you express with every step. Thank you for uploading.
"The outcome has to be greater than preparation.....," well said Olga. The wisdom she has from two great Ballet Companies Bolshoi of Moscow and Vaganova of Saint Petersburg, Russia
I just realised that all of the other companies that participated listed their videos as private and this is the only one left to watch, which is fine because the Royal Ballett is my favourite, but I'm still rather disappointed.

I love world ballet day - especially the live class with the royal ballet. But the camera closeups were driving me crazy! I love a good shot of footwork but back up! I want to see a developé, not the supporting leg! And I want to watch a pirouette, not a foot spinning around! I like to see the whole body perform a movement. I enjoyed the camera work so much more last year. Loved Olga so I wish it had been the same filming style as previous years!
Olga Efreimoff is an adorable Balletmisstress. Good structured lessons, she is so concentrated, kind and attentiv for the dancers. She should gave lectures in: How to become a very, very good teacher in classial dance!
i like how they are all doing like five turns and i struggle with a double one. one day.. this is fantastic to watch when you are not able to dance for a few weeks.
This is about my 6th time watching this vid. It’s marvellous! Just marvellous! I find myself trying to stand like a ballet dancer and I mock the leg movements, whilst saying things like, ‘a bit of work ? Aye, just need to point a bit more, I’m nearly ready! Ha ha! I’m a 68 yr old 15st lump of a man, so it’s ridiculously funny I suppose. Anyway I and my little other half, have a good laugh. The ballet is so fantastic though. Thank you for sharing it with us. Oh, and Olga is just a lovely teacher!
Oh my god most of time I watch Ballet without knowing which beat and point in the music that the dancer was trying to catch. For the first time I saw absolute elegancy and precision in music -- Steven Mcrae !!!!!! BEST BALLET DANCER WITH MUSIC !!
Love class with Olga! She actually makes CORRECTIONS! You get technique even just watching (at least I do in my fevered non-dancer Couch Potato Ballet Morning Class Online Binge.)

this pianist is killing it with the show tunes
Yes. I wonder who it is.
Kait R I loved the music last year,not this year. Beach Boys?!...
Kait R. I felt like he was playing hokey pokey
Didn't like the music at all. Olga's class deserved much better.
Craig Edwards! A very good pianist :)
I think it is so beautiful to see the pregnant lady still taking class.

This teacher should start her own channel on TH-cam. She would get millions of views.
She doesn’t need a TH-cam Channel, she is a professional Royal Ballet teacher! What more can she wish?
@@m.k.9465 but we need her!
I love to watch her very much 💟💟
She is absolutely wonderful💗
She seems like the best teacher I’ve seen so far, very lovely lady.
Love the moment 1:00:20 when Olga says: "it should be happening in the air" and piano master start playing cancan more... joyous ;) is big help for jumping dancers! Bravo!
Reading the comments I think that Olga have more fans than the dancers. She seems to be very sweet and also a very cultivated person that speak several languages.
I heard her speaking English, French, Russian and a little bit Italian, in this video, isn't it? She's amazing and veeeery nice!!
As a little girl she turned on the radio and danced at home. Its in her blood.
PRAWDOPODOBNIE TAK -BARDZO SYMPATYCZNA PANI.
Valeria Marzullo also Spanish and German
Classes with Olga as teacher are the BEST! I've watched her class uploaded years ago countless times
Thank you for your comment, I totally agree with you! Do you know Olgas full name, please? Thank you very much!
Her name is Olga Evreinoff. You're welcome!
She's very encouraging and firm which gets results!!
adaa26 p
They so want to be their best for Olga. The mark of a great teacher
the value of having a superb teacher, in any context.
Enjoyed seeing Vadim in class!! More of him please!
that teacher !!!👍👍👍👍😱😱😱😱
Olga is the best undoubtely.

I love Olga's class. Nothing gets by her. She sees everything, It's so great.
I love World Ballet Day. what a treat to see all these amazing teachers and dancers and have a go at their class. I love the music for this class.
Wow! Everybody floats!
My mother was a ballet teacher (died in 1994), but she wasn't anything like this, and neither were we, her students. This is incredible! Thank you.
It is so enjoyable to watch this, and the pianist is outstanding!
Olga is amazing, she's the kind of teacher who really brings out the best in her students. When she's teaching I actually join in, because her passion is contagious.
I could watch this all day. So beautiful! Olga is amazing and my all time favorite teacher.
Yay, Olga is back!
This brings back memories and made me cry because I quit ballet because I lost my motivation and love for it. My last teacher wasn't so great, she was just horrible and self centered.

47:20 Olga calls Tara "mama." Cute!
"The outcome has to be greater than preparation.....," well said Olga. The wisdom she has from two great Ballet Companies Bolshoi of Moscow and Vaganova of Saint Petersburg, Russia
Can't wait for world ballet day in 2 days!
PLEASE let Olga be teaching!!!
Could listen to Olga all day.
lovely seeing then pregnant woman still showing up for class. The dedication is real. Love that.
Olga is alsolutely wonderful! Thank you ROH for World Ballet Day 2017, always amazing and beautiful!
Bettina Iantorno 👍
Saludos desde España😘
thanks to this class i'm improving so much! this is priceless
class is about muscle memory. training the mind in controlling the body. this frees you to dance!
Amazed of the good work and the pianist is brilliant :)
I so much enjoy watching Royal ballet master class full episode, and very happy to know the 2017 one uploaded, thank you so much for sharing!
Olga is a beautiful teacher
What a beautiful, motivating, and inspirational video! The dedication, hard work, and elegance are a real joy to watch.
Love Olga (and the pianist)
It is always a treat watching company class and the video quality of this recording is remarkable! I feel like I am in the studio.
Watching these are so soothing☁ Olga, Craig Edward and the dancers are insanely talented!
I love the teacher.....it’s so relaxing to watch
I just realised that all of the other companies that participated listed their videos as private and this is the only one left to watch, which is fine because the Royal Ballett is my favourite, but I'm still rather disappointed.

I have watched this video so many times; it fills my heart with pure joy!👏😍
Wow. The teacher really danced as she taught.
Ashley Grice most teachers do.
So beautiful! ❤
thanks a lot!
I’m proud of myself for doing the first twenty minutes of this class in my house
It is a joy to watch this. Steve... wow so outstanding

She's absolutely amazing.......these dancers are amazing
#rises !!!
The teacher was so enthusiastic. She seemed to really enjoy her work.
And she is still so good, when she demonstrates the moves 😱 She is older than my mom
What a wonderful practice to watch in 2021!❤
Loving the “16 going on 17” music for the little front and back pliés exercise
Steven is going crazy with the second jump exercise after the 16 jumps in first. All those beats!
The black guy in the red shirt is amazing 😍😍 he shows his technique in every movement
From one Olga to another....you’re fabulous!
I WANT TO TAKE CLASSES WITH THIS LADY. SHE IS A GENIUS!!!!
I have always loved Olga
I love everything from the teacher to the dancers. Beautiful
Where is Yuhui Choe?? Wanna see her someday
Am I the only person who loves the way Olga pronounces "relevé"?
I absolutely love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ her teaching. She's so beautiful!
Olga Efreimoff is an adorable Balletmisstress. Good structured lessons, she is so concentrated, kind and attentiv for the dancers. She should gave lectures in: How to become a very, very good teacher in classial dance!
The music is so gorgeous
What a lovely smile the teacher has
When she starts speaking russian to vadik 😂😂👌🏻👌🏻
what a beautiful teacher!
i like how they are all doing like five turns and i struggle with a double one. one day.. this is fantastic to watch when you are not able to dance for a few weeks.
The 16 rises is awesomeee! It’s burning! 🥵 🔥 🔥 🔥 definitely going to do it before every practice ❤️
The teacher is amazing! So beautiful, careful and sweet ❤
I'm just happy to see Joonhyuk Jun again. 🥰🥰
Stunning, as usual
Blinking wonderful all these ballet dancers... I love them!!

OMG that teacher is amazing
that dancer in the bannana shirt whipping out these 5 turns in a pirouette...
how
I saw him in class once
Wish I had kept up with ballet as a child. Miss the graceful moves
I realli love you class. I like ballet, but I am not good at it. But this class was really nice, smooth and friendly. Thanks for sharing
Oh my god most of time I watch Ballet without knowing which beat and point in the music that the dancer was trying to catch. For the first time I saw absolute elegancy and precision in music -- Steven Mcrae !!!!!! BEST BALLET DANCER WITH MUSIC !!
Joseph Sissens is a star in the making!
Im living for the guy with the banana shirt his shirt and turns are great !!!!
Love class with Olga! She actually makes CORRECTIONS! You get technique even just watching (at least I do in my fevered non-dancer Couch Potato Ballet Morning Class Online Binge.)
концертмейстер миксует и аранжирует различные жанры и стили легко и просто и никаких нот! 👏👏👏
Excellent video. Thanks!
Love this company!!
