Unleash your inner ballerina!
The New York City Ballet is offering multiple different ways to learn some ballet dance moves from the best, while getting some indoor exercise.
As part of their new “digital season,” here are some wonderful virtual dance classes they are offering:
Ballet Essentials Every Monday & Thursday
On Mondays and Thursdays at 6pm, professional dancers from the New York City Ballet will teach Zoom classes including a ballet warm-up and dance combination inspired by one of the group’s famous performances. No experience necessary! The classes are geared toward young adults and adults of all levels. Sign up on their website here.
Wednesdays with Artistic Director Wendy Whelan
Every Wednesday, Associate Artistic Director Wendy Whelan will be on Instagram LIVE taking viewers through ballet-inspired movements. The classes are also for all age levels, and will be available on NYCB’s IGTV even after they go LIVE.
