Aklf Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Whilst in the midst of the virus crisis, dancers who cannot attained their regular classes and studios look set to benefit from some pretty inspiring live streamed classes. I am very grateful to all of the amazing teachers and dancers who are able to offer this to the dance community around the world. If anyone knows of classes being live streamed perhaps they can be shared here? Claudia Dean will live stream on Saturday 21st March at 9pm London time. I also think Tiler Peck may do the same? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletbean Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 That’s reassuring. My DD is being caught in the middle of not wanting to miss classes if NBS remain open but also like other pupils from European countries and Ireland being recalled home. But if she does come home she’s looking at the minimum of 6 weeks of no intensive training. The exact length of time as 1/2 a term. Lost. 😭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Brown Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 The Claudia Dean times are on her facebook page.

BalletBear Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 A Ballet Education have posted info about live classes on their instagram feed (though I am not sure how the time zone affects the times they are on) as well as segments of class from the last few days which may help some people. Also, for strength and conditioning (although I gather many dancers will have their own routine), there is a YouTube page called Train like a Ballerina which has great videos! Hope this helps xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchkin16 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Not live streamed but Kathryn Morgan has some good classes on YouTube. Her barre combinations are nice and she has a range of different level ones there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Dancer Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 While it's not technically ballet, a friend of mine has prepared a list of resources for Bellydance classes online. So if any dancers are stuck t home and wanting some activity or a new challenge, you could always give it a try. https://sophiareports.wordpress.com/2020/03/15/coronavirus-stopped-class-heres-where-to-learn-bellydance-online/ I do classes with one of the people she mentions (Leila Isaac) and would recommend her approach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMabbutt Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 As it's a bit late at night I had a look to see if it was possible to record an Instagram live stream. Apparently there are programmes to do this so I'm going to try Mobus. It might make it easier to follow if I can get my DD to show me how to cast it to the TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not that tech savvy myself but I've had a trial run with a random Instagram item and it seems fairly simple. I just hope it goes right on the night and I have enough memory to store the file. It's great to have the option to follow online classes and thanks to everyone who has shared a link. Edited March 17, 2020 by SMabbutt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellaF Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I'm hoping that some of the streamed classes are available after the event - a couple have said they'll try for this anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Brown Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Someone asked on Claudia Dean's facebook page if it would be possible to watch after it as they would be early hours of the morning where they are. She said there will be an announcement on her social media which should make it possible to watch after the event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Dancer Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Bennet Gartside is giving an online class tomorrow at 7pm (UK time) on the Everybody Ballet Instagram site. I don't know how well it will work as it's the first time but I'm going to give it a try. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird22 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I wonder if this sort of thing is something parents would consider paying for? I’m not sure with school closures my first priority would be paying for a streamed or video meeting dance class, when my child wasn’t receiving maths and english tuition, particularly for the kids who come for enjoyment & social rather than wanting to do something serious with it. I would be interested to hear thoughts, as a self employed dance teacher I’m debating applying for a supermarket job during this crisis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested to hear thoughts, as a self employed dance teacher I’m debating applying for a supermarket job during this crisis I think everyone is aware of how difficult things are for dance teachers at present. I am already paying for online dance classes (samba and bellydance) at present and would be happy to pay for ballet (bearing in mind that I don't have a barre so exercises need to be modifiable. I'm sure there are parents who would very glad to have some form of activity for their children to burn off some energy and would pay. That said I'm not a parent so can only speak for myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdance Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'm going to be doing some free online classes via my dance school on Facebook live - it's Warwick School of Dance. These are going to be aimed at community engagement and also ballet/tap/modern classes for younger children. I'm aware there is a wealth of pro/vocational level online material but less for children. If they go well I will be streaming classes and then if anyone wants private coaching via video I am going to be doing that too. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think she will be back tomorrow. She even adapts the exercises for beginners to advanced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
