Ballet class on demand
While it's nice to join class live with peers the complications of life at home and day to day scheduling can make that difficult (impossible) for some of us. On international Dance Day Wednesday 29th April 2020 we're posting a recording of the Friday morning class for you to follow at a time that suits you
Online class #1 (originally taught during lockdown in April 2020)
Online class #2 (originally taught during lockdown in May 2020)
Online class #3 (originally taught in the studio in September 2020, fitted to kitchen space)
Online class #4 (originally taught in the studio in October 20202, adapted for kitchen space)

Music:
The music for frappes may be muted in some countries due to copyright restrictions. The exercise was set to Fame by Naturi Naughton, which is on the spotify playlist below along with all the other exercise tracks:
Disclaimer:
The keen eye will notice this was not filmed in professional conditions and there are some tell-tale signs of lockdown working practices - I'm dancing in a kitchen, there are child interruptions, my ankles don't quite work after my first run in about a decade and I sound like I'm talking through a sock. I have however stitched the music on top so that sounds clear - after all, nothing matters but the music!
This is the class I was teaching during UK's (first) lockdown in May 2020
This is the class I was teaching to limited studio participants and more on zoom at the Island during September 2020.
It's one of my favourite playlists so I recorded a kitchen version. Unfortunately that means the travelling steps aren't in this video, and the original plie music had to be replaced for rights reasons but you can get the full original playlist on spotify.
This class was originally taught in the studio in October 2020 but I've adapted it to fit in your kitchen.
A couple of the tracks had to be dubbed for youtube for rights reasons but when you know the exercises you can train to the original playlist on spotify
