Oh, darling, thank you for this, and I’m hoping you do more! I was a ballet student at Joffrey’s school in NYC in the early 1970s. Haven’t had a ballet class in I don’t know how long! I’m in my late 60s now, and can’t get much beyond a demi plie, so grandes are out of the question, but it felt sooo good to move as a ballet dancer, especially the port de bras! I even got my legs onto the kitchen counter for the stretches. These days I take a body pump class at the gym twice a week, and class got canceled today, so I looked up ballet barre and found this one that looked the most old-lady-user-friendly! Thank you again! And your turn out is just fine, and you baby is adorable! ❤️
I LOVED this. I felt like it was the perfect amount of difficulty as someone who is trying to get back into ballet, and it was comforting to see you being honest about it being tiring for you too! (Also I love your dog!)
Dana Sobel what a wonderful comment! It’s hard to get back in ballet shape right? It’s got to be the right combo of fun and challenge without depressing disappointment in your own ability lol. Thanks so much for taking! 😘
I think out of all the TH-cam beginner ballet barre workout classes i previewed this hands down is Absolutely the best! I went through so many before I found yhe right fit for me! I loved it.....so real and not in the least bit pretentious. Made this beginner average gal feel like i could join in! NOT intimidated! Thank u thank u thank u!!Between the kitchen, the baby....and the dog....i just loved it all. Thank u so much! Please do more beginner videos for this chunky girl trying to get in shape! 😘👍🏻👍🏻
Ex professional dancer, 50+, pandemic brain. I feel human again. Love the class, love you, your little one and your dog. Please keep posting if you can. Thank you so much!!!!
Omg this was a great workout and also so cozy. Really brought back memories of dance class as a kid, when the teachers felt the workout more than the students did lol. After not dancing for five years, now I understand their pain! Thank you so much!
My first ballet lesson after quitting when I started uni over 25yrs ago! I started age 4 and stopped aged 18. I've really missed having it in my life...and your class has made me feel the love again, so thank you, from one Joanna to another! x
Joanna I am from Mexico. thank you for this video. Hope your keep doing more, I havent done ballet for long time and I was crying of happines when I was doing the rutine in my Kitchen. I am 50 now and I remember evrything back like riding a bikecicle 😀
Hahaha you are too kind, but... you know how it is! Oof. How I feel in this body now is soooooo different than 10 years ago. 😂 4 babies hey? Super mama over there, my hat is off to you. I'm trying to put out a class or workout on here every week, so come hangout any time!
Former dancer in the 90's and haven't felt this good working out since then. I LOVED how totally accessible this was. I'm nearly 40 and my promise to myself is to reclaim my snatched fierce body I had when I was dancing. I'm going to start with this several times a week and go from there. Thank you for inspiring me to get started! Now it time to take a jacuzzi and have that glass of wine lol.
Thank you so much!!! I am a 50 year old ex professional dancer who has not had a class for 18 years since my son was born, but stuck at home due to Coronavirus with time and a little energy, it felt both fabulous and dreadful at the same time joining with you. It was perfect xxx
I'm yet another washed up old dancer!! got my ballet shoes out after DECADES...and loved your class, your honesty AND your baby! Really made me smile-thank you!
Thanks for offering an online beg. ballet class for adults:) I've been wanting to get back into ballet for years, however, the only classes were in the morning (unable to attend due to work). Unfortunately, I didn't think of on-line:( Thanks so much. P. S. I loved this because it was in your kitchen, you had your baby and dog in the video (if you were able to teach a class in the midst of life, then no more excuses for those of us who want to get back into it after many years):) Thanks for making this possible, I LOVE it!
This was lovely! Thank you so much. I love how honest & relatable you are plus the added bonus of the baby and dog! Please do more home ballet videos if you feel up to it, will happily continue to follow along from lockdown in New Zealand! x
I had quit ballet last year, and now I decided to regain my lost skill so I can get back in the studio! This was very helpful, and I hope to get back in shape soon. Wishing you and your family many blessings, stay safe!
This was perfect to get me back into ballet after a few years out! Love your technique, lines, and personality. Not to mention the super cute baby and dog😍. I hope you keep posting videos
I’ve been using my kitchen counter for years ! Especially when I’m waiting for the water to boil ! Gives me a nice 5 min stretch. I have no idea what I’m doing, but it feels terrific . Thanks for posting this - I will incorporate some of these into my regular routine ❤️
thank you so much! i really enjoyed this video! im a dancer that hasnt been in a ballet class consistently in over a year so i hope that following along with this video twice a week for the next few weeks will help me get my technique back to where it was. thanks again!
Greetings from San Francisco! This was great fun. Thanks for being funny, too! Love your baby and your dog. Will look for more videos from you. Cheers!
Hey there! I am 63 years old and have been looking for a ballet bar class for beg/int that pushes me a bit as I was not a complete strqanger to ballet yeats ago. This was perfect. I feel like it is pushing me but not hurting me, lets see what I have to say tomorrow!, LOL!
Love this class. Over 40 mom of toddler twins and really need something that is for an ex-dancer getting started again. Please do more videos like this one!! THANK YOU!!
Yes please! More like this, this was the perfect level of difficulty to get back into it! Everything was thight, but I could feel it loosening up as I went along.
I love this so much except I am a seasoned dancer and wondered if you could make one for just dancing (just taking a class) with less teaching. I love how you just jump into the warm-up and I love that you are in your kitchen because that's where we all are. Thank you so much for doing this.
Thank you so much! I loved this. It was perfect for a former dance who now takes adult ballet classes. I also loved your realness. Your dog and baby made the video even more enjoyable!
You are soooo funny :))) You made my day, I love it!! I retired off the stage for 2 years now, and it was very lovley to hear your humor about this situation ! You really made my day :) All the best to you, with love !
Stephanie Bennett I’m so glad you enjoyed this! I seriously thought no one would watch this video, but there are more dancers getting back to it than I thought! Thanks for taking! 😘
Wow. This is great! Been wanting to/needing to get back into some form of dance as Ive had to stop Salsa and Tango this last year due to Covid. Did ballet as a young child, so its been about 40 years??😂 Adding this to my playlist of beginner's classes. You have such a great attitude and loving your energy and family!
Thank you! After 25 years since taking ballet, this was the perfect barre routine! Not sure about the legs on the counter part... haha... but the kitchen stool worked out fine ;)
I’m 50+ and have been looking unsuccessfully for an adult ballet class, everyone is tap dancing right now. I just did your ballet barre. It was perfect for what I need. I haven’t danced for about 20 years, even then it was only recreational, so it was wonderful for stepping back to ballet. Loved your daughter and your slurping dog. My lab/boxer sounds much the same.
This was such a great class. I started ballet as an adult. I only took a few classes before carona and everything was closed down :/ anyway this was so helpful! Thank you! Hope u post more!
I was doing ballet for adults at a studio until Corona struck. I have been searching for a good on line class and this is perfect! I really enjoyed it and found it encouraging and inspiring. It would be great if you filmed some more please
Hi Joanna, I've been trying pretty much every beginning ballet barre on TH-cam under the sun since I'm stuck at home, and this has to be one of my top favorites, baby, dog and music glitches included. It's easy to follow, super clear, predictable for an actual beginner, and includes really yummy stretches. I love your energy and quirkiness. I'm following! Will you do more? You'd become my go-to ballet instructor! Cheers!
celeluwhen Oh my gosh you’re so sweet! Thanks for taking the time to write that! I didn’t think ANYONE would watch this video when I posted so I’m glad you liked it! Yummy stretches are life. I just posted another one and I’m hoping to get one out per week so we can all get our ballet on 👍
Almost one year after this video was filmed, I'm still home, still more or less in quarantine, and planning on picking up ballet lessons again soon. I'm 30 and this made my day. And also, now my butt muscles are sore. Also also, my dog loves to LOUDLY drink about 50 gallons of water the second I need her to be quiet. I'm about to do this video a second time... maybe because I've had two wine spritzers.
Haha this is the best comment EVER. Cheers to loudly drinking dogs, wine spritzers, and kitchen ballet 🍷(And hopefully quarantine isn't much longer.) Don't be a stranger!
UPDATE after I actually did the workout! totally loved it!!! Am i your first obese gal to join? its a possibility! i am gonna keep up with it so i can do the moves better! i am VERY BEGINNER here...like i never had the joy of doing ballet as a child so this is all NEW to me. i loved your little "reminders" to stand tall in this leg, not bend that leg, etc, cuz being so new i didnt know, when i corrected my lazy errors, it instantly felt "right". could you please do a beginning beginners kitchen class?! your the best ! (girl with no social media here ...or i would try to DM you...sorry)
Thank you for posting :) I am an ex ballet dancer... turned contemporary and Aerial. And I LOVE that your dog and baby got involved. In Corona Isolation that's sooooooo lovely. I wanted to tell you , you are not out of shape. And you made a fully formed human! ( I have never.)

This is awesome!!!! i saw your abs videos first and was like, wait a second shes really flexible and her feet are arching a bit. then i found out you are a dancer!!! I started ballet at the age of 31(end of last year) and I found myself more into ballet than fitness. Right now I’m a bit confused what I really want to do and i've been only doing ballet lately since gym is closed. How are you handeling different types of workout?

Thank you! You are hardly a "washed up ballet dancer!" that title is reserved for me! Did this with my 4th baby next to me in her little chair.
Hahaha you are too kind, but... you know how it is! Oof. How I feel in this body now is soooooo different than 10 years ago. 😂 4 babies hey? Super mama over there, my hat is off to you. I'm trying to put out a class or workout on here every week, so come hangout any time!

This is what you did with one of your "weird" quarantine mornings- so inspiring & GENEROUS. Thank you for sharing, you are a GODDESS 🙏 🙌
Great class. I'm trying to start back up so this class is perfect. You know you had a good class when afterward...you have your duck walk back! Merde!
I'm yet another washed up old dancer!! got my ballet shoes out after DECADES...and loved your class, your honesty AND your baby! Really made me smile-thank you!
Fab class! Thank you! My washed-up-ballet-bung hips had a blast. And I loved the baby and dog participation! 🐣🐕🐾
Thanks for offering an online beg. ballet class for adults:) I've been wanting to get back into ballet for years, however, the only classes were in the morning (unable to attend due to work).

So yea, it's been....8 years??? 9 years????? o.0 this was fun, i'd love to see more! I really did feel 70. I used to be baddass I guess lol
Love it! Perfect for a morning wake up. Length is perfect. Thanks 😊
Thanks for this! I haven't done ballet in 16 years...even then, it was brief. I'm working back into dancing, so I appreciate you sharing!
I’ve been using my kitchen counter for years ! Especially when I’m waiting for the water to boil ! Gives me a nice 5 min stretch. I have no idea what I’m doing, but it feels terrific . Thanks for posting this - I will incorporate some of these into my regular routine ❤️
You are awesome! I loved this! A perfect morning barre for a rusty dancer!
My dog walked through the kitchen too as I was doing it. Thank you for this. As a 45-year-old dancer and dance teacher....this was great!
This is super fun and easy to follow, thank you!
thank you so much! i really enjoyed this video! im a dancer that hasnt been in a ballet class consistently in over a year so i hope that following along with this video twice a week for the next few weeks will help me get my technique back to where it was. thanks again!
Greetings from San Francisco! This was great fun. Thanks for being funny, too! Love your baby and your dog. Will look for more videos from you. Cheers!
Hey there!
I am 63 years old and have been looking for a ballet bar class for beg/int that pushes me a bit as I was not a complete strqanger to ballet yeats ago. This was perfect. I feel like it is pushing me but not hurting me, lets see what I have to say tomorrow!, LOL!
I love the baby during grand battements! So cute!
Love this class. Over 40 mom of toddler twins and really need something that is for an ex-dancer getting started again. Please do more videos like this one!! THANK YOU!!
Yes please! More like this, this was the perfect level of difficulty to get back into it! Everything was thight, but I could feel it loosening up as I went along.
Yesss I would love another beginner/intermediate!
I love this! I am taking an intermediate ballet class in college in the fall and this really helped show me where I am at
I love this so much except I am a seasoned dancer and wondered if you could make one for just dancing (just taking a class) with less teaching. I love how you just jump into the warm-up and I love that you are in your kitchen because that's where we all are. Thank you so much for doing this.
You’re AWESOME! This was so fun and this kitchen barre was just what I needed today. Please do more videos like this. Thank you!
Thanks for this! I'm just now officially getting back into ballet as an adult, and I do my ballet at my kitchen barre as well!
Thank you so much! I loved this. It was perfect for a former dance who now takes adult ballet classes. I also loved your realness. Your dog and baby made the video even more enjoyable!
Thanks so much for this highly entertaining ballet barre. You're adorable. Your baby is adorable. Your dog is adorable. So fun to watch.
I enjoyed this class so much! The musical stylings of Zoe at the end made it even better. Please do more kitchen barre.
Thank you from Japan. I enjoyed (and will still enjoy) practicing this working from home. I love your dog also!
You are soooo funny :))) You made my day, I love it!! I retired off the stage for 2 years now, and it was very lovley to hear your humor about this situation ! You really made my day :) All the best to you, with love !
As someone who also likes to dance in the kitchen, I was delighted to find your class - thank you!
Debbie Jeffries the kitchen is such a free place to be haha 👍
That was awesome! From a quarantined Dancer, getting back into it... I really needed this to start my day:) Please film more!!
Stephanie Bennett I’m so glad you enjoyed this! I seriously thought no one would watch this video, but there are more dancers getting back to it than I thought! Thanks for taking! 😘
I feel like a stale Rice Krispy treat over here! Thanks for the great work out!
This is so great! Brings back memories.
I did 10 years of ballet...aka 2yr to 12, and have rusted out immensely 20 years later. Thank you for your reminders and geez I’m out of shape, ha.
Thank you for this class! I loved it.
Please do more videos. I really enjoy all your classes!!!
"Good job you're doing so good!"
Me in bed: 👁👄👁👍🏻
Wow. This is great! Been wanting to/needing to get back into some form of dance as Ive had to stop Salsa and Tango this last year due to Covid. Did ballet as a young child, so its been about 40 years??😂 Adding this to my playlist of beginner's classes. You have such a great attitude and loving your energy and family!
Loved this, perfect. Thank you
This is everything!!! Please post more!
this was a good basic barre class. would like to see more ballet classes
Thank you! Perfect way to end my day.
Loved this!!!! I haven’t danced in 6 years! I forgot I knew ballet terms!
Thank you! After 25 years since taking ballet, this was the perfect barre routine! Not sure about the legs on the counter part... haha... but the kitchen stool worked out fine ;)
What a wonderful video! I’m an absolute beginner at 32 and I can’t wait to give this a try :)
I’m 50+ and have been looking unsuccessfully for an adult ballet class, everyone is tap dancing right now. I just did your ballet barre. It was perfect for what I need. I haven’t danced for about 20 years, even then it was only recreational, so it was wonderful for stepping back to ballet. Loved your daughter and your slurping dog. My lab/boxer sounds much the same.
This is so wonderful. I am inspired. (And I am SIXTY-FIVE!) Trying to figure out where to put a barre up. I'm thinking the dining room. Thank you.
1.5 years after a baby and this felt wonderful and I could totally relate! Thank you!
jloatman1 oh good I’m glad it felt good! Yeah navigating the post baby body, especially with dancing is such an adventure isn’t it?
This was such a great class. I started ballet as an adult. I only took a few classes before carona and everything was closed down :/ anyway this was so helpful! Thank you! Hope u post more!
Thank you very much Joanna! From Belgium here! Just did it now :-)
Super cool, thanks for taking!

Perfect way to start my Monday, kick my booty a bit, and break up the monotony of #shelteringathome - this washed up dancer loved it! Thank you!

Thank you!! Had a great time following along :)
Joy Regullano I’m so glad! Thanks for taking!
Great class, love the warm up at the beginning ✌🏻
Thomas Evans Thank you! Yeah, I can never quite go right in plies without getting the snap crackle pops out first 😉
Thank you so much for this video it's helped me want to get back into ballet :)
Just what I need today! Thanks Joanna!
Vi D yay! Happy to do barre with you! 😃
Hey!! Really enjoyed this although nearly died when you said leg on the top... Now lift 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks, Joanna. It was fun!
Heather Watson you did it? Yay!! 🤗

Hate hate hate my slippery floor, can barely stand with a 90 degree turnout XD
Loved the video tho
I do that last cobination in by ballet class
Great class!
Sophie Deeth Thank you so much for taking it!
I definitely relate to feeling a little weird today!
Liberty Wilkerson yeah? Yeah. The “reality” kinda sinks in sometimes and it’s just... weird
Do more!!!! Lol please.
Thank you for posting :) I am an ex ballet dancer... turned contemporary and Aerial.
And I LOVE that your dog and baby got involved. In Corona Isolation that's sooooooo lovely.
I wanted to tell you , you are not out of shape. And you made a fully formed human! ( I have never.) Plus lots of people trying this at may feel less in shape then you ;)
It's funny checked your channel and found that you are an aerialist too! Hoorayh for flying dancers.
:)
Yoga has saved my life with shoulder and all joint stability at 39 ;)
I quite like BOHO beautiful as she has great intermediate ones and shoots them all in wilderness. th-cam.com/users/cexercize
Plus she's nice to you :) After years of ballet, hard work and self deprecation. It's what we deserve. Feeling good :D
I look forward to trying your other classes.
You daughter is adorable and joins in with her noises of excitement and admiration! Love it!
This is awesome!!!! i saw your abs videos first and was like, wait a second shes really flexible and her feet are arching a bit. then i found out you are a dancer!!! I started ballet at the age of 31(end of last year) and I found myself more into ballet than fitness. Right now I’m a bit confused what I really want to do and i've been only doing ballet lately since gym is closed. How are you handeling different types of workout?
This was great thank you! Just would have been better without all the negative complaining
I’m too fat to get down on the floor like some of these stretches require lol
so am I ha hahahahaha
Washed up old dancer?? WASHED UP? I am 64 years okd and I can still battement over my head. Washed up my arse.
This was great. But let's not describe people as "washed up" . . implies they are worthless due to their age.
Thank you for posting
However, you are far from WASHED UP,
