Thank you Ernst for this amazing class! 🙏🏻 I'm 51 years old and ex - ballet dancer and you have a wonderful Ballet dancers! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It was an honor to take this online class with you guys! 💐 Greetings from Germany! 🤗
While it's not quite the same as going live to the theatre, several of the Dutch Nathional Ballet performances can be bought on DVD or streamed via streaming services
This year I’m graduating med school at it has been very difficult for me to attend classes. Therefore, I’ve been taking your classes every sunday in my bedroom :) Thank you so much! You’re helping me keep my inner ballerina alive. Hugs from brazil!
I feel so grateful for Ernst and DNationalBallet to share this with us. I am 42 and I think this is the only way I can get classes my age and working. I studied 14 years ballet and obviously this is like magic to me. Your classes are beautiful and very complete! Your recommendations and cheering up during class makes me feel IN class :)
Same as you, except older but feeling the same way and really , REALLY, grateful. The quality, of the teaching , pianists, dancers is exceptional. Everything done with such gentle courtesy. Thank you so much.
I am so so happy that these classes are coming back!! They have kept me sane and motivated over the last year so thank you so much from a very displaced Canadian :) I look forward to the day when I can come and enjoy the company performing!
I am very thankful for these classes, and I am very happy that Dutch National Ballet has made more classes. I take the classes over and over again, but I will miss having new classes by Ernst, who is a great teacher. Rex was great too, and it was fun to see that he danced with his hands. U-tube is a great medium for taking ballet classes.
Thank you so much from Canada, Vancouver! Before Covid I attended Bar-studio, now they are closed and offer online classes. I tried once, but their classes are weaker than the ones from Dutch Ballet. All 12 ballet classes with Ernst are in my bookmarks and I do them at home again and again. I like your new pianist- touching music; good quality of recording, almost always camera is on movements and not wondering around on faces; talented young dancers are doing exercises from both sides which is an improvement comparing to first 10 classes when Ernst showed one side, and the second side was just music, I had to stop and move recording back. And still, I got used to it and enjoyed classes anyway. I look forward to new classes. Thank you very much for helping people around the world.
I'm really enjoying ballet pianist Paul James' more American jazz touches. The way he played that piece (a Piazzolla arrangement?) in the 27:00 exercise was quite magical -- he had a special way of really bringing out the "melting" movement in the fondue -- and this has been in my head for days. A great addition to complement Ernst, Elisabeth, and Davi. A big thanks to you all from Sydney, Australia for now being firmly part of my daily routine, you're a great inspiration to us all around the world!
ALL THREE of you are so talented ! It’s pretty common to see a really flexible really strong girl. But to see a male dancer, who has feet like that… And who has an arch in his back like that… It’s just stunning. They both have so much control! A beauty to watch!
Dagmar I am very happy to see you again and hope that everyone is well in this difficult time! Thank you very much for a wonderful training Ernst and equally wonderful music from Paul! I look forward to the further lessions!!!.... With best wishes from Germany
Thank you so much for this lovely classes! I’m a ballet teacher in Portugal. My students have poor resources at home to dance online so they are practicing your barre exercises and it’s working so well!! I’m very grateful for the initiative! Stay safe! Kisses from Portugal 🇵🇹
I haven't done a ballet barre or class in over a year but this morning I got the urge to do one again. Searched up barrés on TH-cam and found yours. It was wonderful! Thanks for helping me dance again!
I'm a 19 (and soon to be 20) girl from Taiwan. I was formerly a ballerina but stopped dancing 3 years ago. Last October I start to do online classes (including yours ) , they really help me a lot in many aspect!!! Want to say a huge THANK YOU to all the members of Dutch National Ballet (of course for other teachers/dancers/ballet instructors/and others). Hope can continue to see more ballet barre classes and center work combinations in the following days!!!
I'm so glad you decided to start a new series of online ballet classes. I have been practising with the first 11 over and over again; they are great :-) Ernst is such an excellent teacher; we are very lucky to benefit from his exercises, advice and explanations! Thank you sooo much!
It is absolutely wonderful that you picked up these online classes for all of us again! Thank you so much. Your classes are fabulous. Thank you again for sharing them. I look forward to having the opportunity to come and see your dancers at a performance xx
Thank you for doing these classes, they are just wonderful! Ernst is an amazing teacher, so lyrical and musical 💕 it is a privilege to be able to take class from him 😊
Thank you for these classes, i have worked my way through all of them during the various lockdowns here in England and they have really made a difference for me :) x
Thank you from California! A few studios I used to go had to close down. This is a blessing. Ernst makes the best well constructed combinations. Perhaps some safe center or floor conditioning after a barre class or separate videos. I would love to continue with this online format.
Rex is great, but lots of love for Paul too! And thank you for bringing in dancers to demonstrate for us as the classes progress and Ernst's fabulous combinations get more complex. 💐
Sending u love from Greece!we missed u and are very happy that u are back with ur wonderful and best ballet lessons ever!!greetings and my best wishes to all of u!!
I miss you, happy that you are back, and I will do my class and donation you are the best! This a beautiful way make ballet more fun and available to everyone! Thank thank you!
Thank you so much for creating these classes! I love your classes and they have been helping me to stay in shape during all this time. Thank you again!!!
thank you very much!!! in quarantine I can't go to my ballet classes so I do your classes, Ernest, you help me a lot to achieve my dreams !!!!! love from Argentina
How beautiful. Thank you for adding both sides. Will try to contribute today. Non-ballerina but 100% ballet lover doing this class. No worries I stretched .
Thank you so much for this wonderful class! With studios closed I had lost my motivation to do ballet at home for weeks and this class motivated me to do some ballet once again, and it feels soo good 💗 looking forward to more classes!
I’m so glad you are keeping the classes online ! I’m a professional dancer without a contract or a project right now, so to have you here is such a relief!! Thank you so much!!! Looking forward for the next ones
In the first lockdown a year ago I found out about you and your wonderful Dutch National Ballet company. I was happy to join you and am grateful for your great donation to share these classes to everybody. Rex is missing, I also hope he is fine and also Paul is super!! Thank you Ernst and all dancers!!! Stay safe.
How nice to see you again!!! Class was super nice, thank you for effort and making this for us. And how nice to here our polish Ogiński's polonaise to grand battlements ❤️.
Thank you for another wonderful class Ernst! I feel like I'm home again and excited to see what you have in store for us next! And thanks to Peter (loved Neverland at the start) and to Elizabeth and Davi. Inspiring
Gracias!!! your classes are the best!! Erns, Rex, and now Paul! great, great profs!, and the incredibles Elisabeth and David! so thankful for these magical moments with you. Los abrazo mucho desde México. The next time I come to Europe I will visit you!
Thank you for these lovely classes! They really brighten up the week during lockdown. I look forward to meeting the new talented pianists and dancers in the next classes !
I can't wait to do this class today! I have been rotating through all of the classes when I do my own training (I mostly teach!) at home for nearly a year! I love Ernst classes...no other classes come close! I've tried a few but always come back to Ernst! It would be amazing if we could have more centre classes! It takes a while to rotate through 12 barre classes dancing once a week, but only 3 centre classes mean I've learned them almost by heart, haha! Also, thank you for adding the donation information! I've been using these classes for free so I'm pleased I can actually donate for your time and efforts to help me dance :)
Beautiful class. I had a gallbladder surgery recently so I'm still recovering from home. As soon as I get better I will do this class. Definitely. Thank you so much!!
Thank you Ernst for this amazing class! 🙏🏻
I'm 51 years old and ex - ballet dancer and you have a wonderful Ballet dancers! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It was an honor to take this online class with you guys! 💐 Greetings from Germany! 🤗
Yay can't wait! Will miss Rex though. I hope one day to come to Europe and watch the company dance. They now have a special place in my heart.
We hope to see you soon Emma! For now, keep on dancing and enjoy the classes!
