Would it be possible to demonstrate the other side, as well? There are no other dancers around me I can squint at and copy their movements during the time of blackouts.
Came back to this, 4 yrs later, and was happy to see that, despite my tight hips, I could keep up and get a great workout!!!! Thank you for keeping these up and running!!!!☺
HI Ernst & Rex, We are a mother daughter team from Encinitas, California and take your brilliant ballet barre each morning to keep our strength while in lock down. Mom is an old Modern dancer and I am a Musical Theater dancer. Thank you for the technique and inspiration. Keep the videos coming :)
Could not agree more. I've also made the online ballet class rounds and these with Ernst Meisner and Rex Lobo are by far the best. The live piano accompaniment in particular makes them really stand out.
Thanks again for your brilliant classes, your creativity, time and wonderful music, Ernst and Rex. You definitely are the best thing about this difficult situation.
Thank you Ernst and Rex and HNB for this gift of the wonderful series of Barre during the pandemic. I do your Barre almost everyday since mid April and sing your praise each time the Barre starts. It kept me sane because home is New York City but under quarantine in Brazil.
I am no professional dancer, however I adore your classes so much! Easy to follow, pleasure to practice. Thank you for your work, energy and beautiful music 🥰😍🤗
Ernst I just have to say a HUGE thank you for these barres! I am a retired professional ballet dancer (57 on Feb 7 and fellow Aquarian) and your classes are absolutely perfect! Very sane and very creative in your combinations without getting affectatious or anything outrageous and shockingly inappropriate! Very wonderfully structured and really what the body needs. Congratulations! You are a wonderful teacher and remind me of the best of the teachers I had coming up in my own career! I LOVE your class. Michael
Almost a year later and I'm still loving these classes with Ernst and Rex! Such a wonderful class and special opportunity. Thank you again for bringing these to us.
I keep coming back to these classes week after week. They are so good: clear and lovely lyrical combinations. Thank you Ernst, Max and Dutch National Ballet!
My friends and I, who grew up dancing together, are meeting on Zoom several times a week in quarantine to take these wonderful classes. Thank you Ernst and Rex so much for the joy and exercise you bring.
Hi, this is my first ballet class in almost 3 years.. I was taking your classes religious ar the start of /during covid, then I got very sick and I had knee surgery which as a professional dancer was devastating. Today is Easter day 2022 and it decided to "" try"" to get through a bar, it was not easy ... had a lot of wobbles but I did it, I did it I did it. Ernst you are amazing. And then your piano player... beautiful. I can't wait to get back in the New York City to take class but I'm so worried and nervous, thank you thank you thank you and happy Easter to all. I. 'm sure your performances are just amazing, I wish I could meet you all someday
Good morning Ernst, barre 7 is e very heavy barre for me, (73) but with a few rests I could follow you, thanks again, very nice you give us your clear instructions, i love it. till the next time, and stay safe. Alice Weemering.
This class has been a wonderful gift. I have not danced in years and am relishing this experience with such a fantastic teacher and pianist! Thank you so very much.
I just can't get enough of these barre videos - Ernst and Rex are a HUGE gift on days I can't get to my local zoom technique classes. Yaaaaayyyy!!!!!!!
Thank you again Ernst and Rex. As the pandemic shows no sign of stopping here in California USA, it is a blessing to focus on your incredible classes. Thank you so very much for sharing this experience with us!! 🙂
Greetings from Austin, TX! Thank you so much, Dutch National Ballet, for helping me and so many others stay sane and fit in these crazy times. Ernest Meisner (so calm and clear) gives the best online barre I've come across, and Rex Lobo's piano playing is phenomenal. I started ballet late in life but became hooked. When I do finally travel to the Netherlands, I will make sure to see the Dutch National Ballet. Thank you again.
Greetings from Los Angeles! These classes have been my ballet home away from the studio at least every Saturday morning if not more often. Thank you for sharing your talents and helping to keep us dancers in shape. It's been nice to work on technique fundamentals until we can get back to class.
Thank you so much for sharing ballet classes! Your way of teaching is very motivating! I am enjoing and sweating a lot! This barre is my favourite routine in the day. Keep safe, lot of thanks and greetings from sunny Portugal!
Dear Ernst, Rex and DNB - here we are 2.5 years later (where has the time gone?) and I'm still coming back to your classes again and again. The best! I just did Class 7 and loved it. Thank you for this amazing resource that will surely, you must know, live on forever in our hearts. With sincere thanks and sending best wishes from San Francisco CA.
Thank you for this beautiful class, Ernst and Rex! You help me getting motivated for my daily work-out and I feel some improvements already. Your classes are priceless!
A huge thanks to Ernst and Rex! Your class is what keeps me going after another day of home office and three toddlers around! P.S.: Would be great if Rex' wonderful piano playing could be a a little bit louder!!!
Ich wollte mich für deine arbeit bedanken, ich finde dein training super, ich bin ein tänzer mit 63 Jahre und mache deine training jeden tag. noch mal danke und viel erfolg.
I love to do class with you ! It's wonderful 😊! Thank you so much! And I love to look at your shining face , you give me inspiration 🙌😇! And soo beautiful music 🎶, thank you Rex and thank you Ernst !
I keep revisiting all these classes, they are so brilliant. I try to do them better each time. Today I must have pressed the sub-title button by mistake. I have never laughed so much. It cheered me up on a dark dull day. Do try it! So funny. "Pas de bourree" reads 'pod Murray" - "ponche" = pawn shade - "frappee and then one"; = frappe and M1- "out, out, you close" = out 03U clothes - "efface" = FSA! Heaven help anyone attempting this who doesn't speak English and can't follow the (very clear) dialogue... probably done by computer..... (I apologise I don't have accents on my keyboard.)
Dank je wel voor deze toffe lessen! Ik dans 1x per week bij een jaargenootje van Ernst: Nicky. Zij geeft mij elke week zoveel plezier met jaar lessen!Nu natuurlijk alleen online... alleen als kind balletles gehad en nu op mijn 47e weer begonnen. Supergaaf! Ik doe elke week een les mee (al zet ik de afspeelsnelheid wel op 0,75 om de bewegingen goed te kunnen doen 🤣) Nogmaals dank 🙏🏻
Craving a Centre Workout? Keep an eye out for the next class this Monday at 11am!
center would be nice. thnx
Thank you! : ) I can't wait.
Yes! Sorry I am late, but just wanted to say I missed doing more centre, so thank you!
Would it be possible to demonstrate the other side, as well? There are no other dancers around me I can squint at and copy their movements during the time of blackouts.
During this Covid I have had the opportunity to take classes worldwide with many compagnies, but definitly yours is THE BEST. Thank you agian
Have you tried mine ? Angela Malan ballet barre on UA-cam , quite similar to Ernst .
Agreed 100%!!
I agree!!!
Thank you, Ernst and Rex, for generously giving us this perfect barre!
still profiting regularly from these marvelous classes
Ernst is adorable. J’adooore his accent when he pronounces those french movement names
I'm American and I love the accent when he says "foot, foot, foot"! I can't tell that his French has an accent!
and when he says double, it has a birmingham accent :)
And yet for some reason I (British) just sound confused 😂😂😂
Ernst: ..and hold your leg next to your ear.
Me: (Laughs so hard it qualifies as my abs workout)
Wherever we are, we are so graceful for your classes, thank you Rex, thank you Ernst.
Came back to this, 4 yrs later, and was happy to see that, despite my tight hips, I could keep up and get a great workout!!!! Thank you for keeping these up and running!!!!☺

I keep revisiting all these classes, they are so brilliant. I try to do them better each time. Today I must have pressed the sub-title button by mistake. I have never laughed so much. It cheered me up on a dark dull day. Do try it! So funny. "Pas de bourree" reads 'pod Murray" - "ponche" = pawn shade - "frappee and then one"; = frappe and M1- "out, out, you close" = out 03U clothes - "efface" = FSA! Heaven help anyone attempting this who doesn't speak English and can't follow the (very clear) dialogue... probably done by computer..... (I apologise I don't have accents on my keyboard.)
Great class, and what beautiful music!
Exquisite plié music+ combination ❤
Beautiful. Thanks again.❤❤❤
I loved your class today ..iam concentrating on feet
Very good barre classes! Thank you! 🙏🏻🍀
Mil gracias y a thousand thank-you's Ernst, Rex and Dutch National Ballet- you are keeping me sane and helping me stay strong!
Another great class!
Thank you again from me in the Uk! You make my day smile
This is my favorite class!
Es un gran pedagogo!!!!
Clarísimo y amoroso!!!
