Thank you so much for the brilliant classes, Ernst you are such an inspiration! and even though the pandemic has long been forgotten, these lovely classes will fortunately stay forever! My deep gratitude for you and all Dutch National Ballet, Cheers!
This 63 yr old loved this class. Such precision yet everything flowed beautifully. And the music! Absolutely over the top. This pianist obviously knows dancers and what they need.
Thank you Ernst and Company. It’s an honor to be taught by such masters. I was 71 during Season 1, 72 during Season 2 and now forward to being 73 in Season 3!
Dear Ernst, it has been a tremendous joy of following all of your classes. Today's class was really nice with both the barre and center exercises accompanied by the two young, beautiful dancers! You are a wonderful maestro! I have always felt your classes are well executed: look simple but a bit challenging..and in the end quite fulfilling!! Thanks a lot Dutch National Ballet and hope to see you again in the near future!
Thank you, HET, for the entire series of classes and tips! I sensed the genuine care and love for the art in everything you have offered. I salute to all the technicians involved in this, too, as the quality of your footage has been outstanding from the very beginning! Thank you for your message of love to all dancers, dance students, and ballet lovers around the globe! What a beautiful example of the unique role of arts to keep us going!
Fabulous class by Ernst with so much musicality. Loved the polonaise at the barre as well as the Center floor allegro. The dancers and pianist are superb. Bravo!
Thank you Ernst, Paul, Jessica and Sho. It’s been so encouraging to watch and do all the classes. Made me sad when you said that it’s the last class of the season. I really appreciate all the efforts you all put together. Thank you also to all the staff behind the camera, those people who are also working very hard for all the videos. 🙏🏽❤️
da gibt es nicht mehr zu sagen, einfach wunderbar, dass es euch gibt ! ❤️❤️❤️ ex dancer 76 years young and still loving a nice barre work !! you are simply the best.
Thank you Ernst and the company for this wonderful class. Really enjoyed both seasons and hope the company will continue to post new classes in the near future. Good luck and stay safe everyone :)
Greetings from Florida...if there had not been this pandemic I would not have been introduced to such a wonderful teacher, musician, and dancers of the Dutch Ballet..you provided such beauty in a unbelievable time.... so appreciate your time and talents to create these classes for us around the world! I am most grateful🌹already looking forward to next season, best wishes to you and good health💜
As always, a privilege to be able to join in with such wonderful combinations, music, teaching and the lovely talented young dancers. Thank you for making this available to us.
I am very grateful to the Dutch National Ballet team for the season of online classes during the quarantine, which I attended and were very helpful to me. A big thank you to the technical team, to the wonderful teachers in particular to Professor Ernest, the talented dancers and the very fantastic pianists Rex and Paul.Marili Venditti from São Paulo,Brazil.
Dear Ernst, you are such a wonderful teacher. If there was something good that came from this pandemic, was to be able to learn from you, see all these wonderful dancers and take class with all these fantastic pianists. Thank you Het Ballet!
Thank you so much! I respect all your efforts.Teachers, dancers, pianist and camera work staffs. I think that the camera work is one of the outstanding point of these lessons of Dutch National Ballet! It helps me a lot! I love Paul’s piano! .He is a great pianist! I really appreciate all staff members! I’d like to see your performance again in Amsterdam ,I enjoyed your performance in November 2019.
Thanks again Ernst for your passion and professionality....lovely petit jetés in the centre!!!!!!I hope to come to visit very soon in Amsterdam to join one of your classes and to admire your ballet in theatre. Big hug from Rome!
A huge thank you for offering these classes! This one is my favorite so far. On top of that, we also get to watch and learn from the stunning HET dancers!
I love your classes, Ernst. I'm long and limby and not really designed for such a fast barre, but the combinations are so engaging - very challenging at times, but I really enjoy doing them. Thank you to you, all the pianists and dancers and to Het Nationale Ballet for offering this great resource. I have made a donation in gratitude.
Thank you Ernst for the season with Max, for this class with Paul and center work. Thank you, Dutch National Ballet for sharing your talents with dancers everywhere.
Thank all of u for those beautiful ballet classes!!maestro Ernst the way u teach ballet takes me back in the beautiful times of original romantic and clean traditional ballet!!Stay well and happy!
Thank you for all these classes, the best anywhere on the web IMHO. I will be using these regularly & looking forward to the new season. Donating now. C'mon guys, let's show our appreciation by putting our hands in our pockets!
Things are opening up here in San Francisco, and studios are opening in June and July. I want to commend the Dutch National Ballet for these UA-cam class videos. The production quality has been outstanding in every way. The classes themselves have great flow and beautiful accompaniment. These are great intermediate classes, and I've gone through them countless times to stay in shape during this past year. Many thanks and kudos to Ernst who has led the way with his calm presence and wonderful combinations. Special mention of gratitude to Rex Lobo and Paul Lewis for the music! Will miss you all! Best wishes to your company in the coming year!
Thank you so very much for sharing your artistry, time, and energy with all of us around the world. I am very grateful for the classes and live piano music.
Thank you so much Ernst for sharing this new season with us, students all over the world that thanks to you have the opportunity of knowing Dutch National Ballet excelence in teaching! Looking forward for the next season!
Ernst, you are one of my favorite people and favorite teachers. Thank you so tremendously much to you and the Dutch National Ballet for your amazing classes! I wouldn't have been able to make it through the pandemic strong without your classes. Thank you!
Thank you for this wonderful class. I wish you a fantastic summer and please continue next season with a taste of your classes online. As I discovered that I could train at home and in studio, I would want to keep this special feeling of joy to dance.
I totally agree, I loved the combo of barre and centre with a great pianist and fantastic dancers. I hope to see more and would even be up for zoom on-demand ones! Merci from Canada ! ❤️
Hello Ernst, this is great. I love the additional center exercises. Your class is always clean and easy to follow because you're like a conductor and called out the movement before it's time to do it. The combos are interesting because sometimes they are in 4 count-segments. I have to count not to miss the "1." Thank you very much for making this available to us.
Dear Ernst, l like your ballet class very much !!! And very beautiful music !!! I take ballet exercise with your video's almost everyday. Thank you !!!
A huge Thank you to Het Nationale Ballet and to you Ernst for providing us with this amazing opportunity to take class with you during this difficult time. You have saved me , providing me the possibility to continue my ballet practice at home when the studio classes were shut down. 🙏🏼🩰😍
Thank you so much for these wonderful classes! They are very challenging but still approachable. Although I was classically trained, I haven’t attended a ballet class in about 10 years, and it’s been wonderful getting back into ballet shape with these classes. Thanks again, and I look forward to more next season!
Thank you very much for all of your wonderful videos. I start every day with one of your classes and it gives me a greate mood and a strength for the whole day
I loved this class! The best one!!!!!! You are a really nice teacher, thank you for keeping us dancing and doing ballet at home! hugs from Argentina, stay safe!!!
We returned to the studio this week (hurrah!) and I feel stronger than before corona. Better turnout, better balance, higher extensions. How come... ;-) thanks Ernst and all for the wonderful classes.
Thanks a million for the wonderful trainings lessions and the wonderful, inspiring music. I wish everyone a good time and above all, good health!!! With very warm greetings from Germany. AND I can hardly wait if it will continue!!
Thank you so much for your generous gift through really hard times! It kept me going, feeling connected to a great community somewhere out there... have a great summer. Hope to see you in the future❤
Glad to see Ernst back, and hope to see more of Caroline as well. I started following along summer of last year and have been doing these classes at home at least thrice a week. The centre portion is well-choreographed it can suit a small space at home or can be danced at full in the studio. Thank you for continuing to do this - I never imagined wanting to practice ballet outside the studio. Sidebar, where's Rex? It was funny and lovely seeing him marking the barre exercises with his hands at one point.
I REALLY enjoy these classes. Thank you for posting them! The dancers, Ernst, and Paul are amazing! Would you guys consider filming a company class next “season”? Thanks for brightening our year! 👏👏
What a fun class again! Thank you so much for putting in all the effort of producing these videos! I'm certainly not gonna share how silly I look doing this. I can just about perform the combinations but i look like a hippo next to your gorgeous dancers, lol.
Thank you so much Ernst and HET for these wonderful classes. They've been a bright spot in this difficult year. Would you consider releasing a few of these barre classes without the intros? That would be a gift to those who don't have 50mins in the day to practice ballet. Thanks!
good teacher. pure instruction, no ego, and students featured. Respect
Thank you so much for the brilliant classes, Ernst you are such an inspiration! and even though the pandemic has long been forgotten, these lovely classes will fortunately stay forever! My deep gratitude for you and all Dutch National Ballet, Cheers!

the pleasant music gives zen flow along with the stretch and strength as good as yoga
Bravissimo Ernst
Please, what is the piece during the frappes? My husband said that while I was taking the class, my 11 month old son was dancing to it! Thank you!
