    The PNB you know and love stops at nothing, not even a pandemic, in our quest to create, educate, and bring joy to the world through dance. We’ve accomplished a lot together in the last tear, from launching a first-of-its-kind all-digital season and delivering PNB School classes via the internet, to where we are today-slowly and carefully welcoming dancers and small groups of students back to the studios. We choose to focus on the positive and the many ways PNB can continue to be a beacon of light, and source of inspiration and solace in this time of uncertainty.
    Your tax-deductible gift to the Future Fund will help PNB to continue the work we’re doing while we’re reinventing PNB’s future. Your PNB team has been reduced in size because of the pandemic and our inability to perform to full houses at McCaw Hall. The gift you make today will shape PNB’s future tomorrow.

    Hi!! I had just taken this class at home and loved it! I’m 47, practiced ballet my whole life, not professionally though, but I can’t live without it, that’s what bring balance and healthy in my life. I have a good infrastructure at home 🙏🏻 and in here I’m still quarantined and working from home. Wished there were much more from your classes, Mr Porretta is awesome! Love from Brazil.

    I have been discovering great ballet classes this week and this is one of the best. I had to reverse my directions in the center as I am used to seeing the teacher in the mirror but was able to keep up with most exercises without bumping into my furniture. Thank you John and his dancers & musician for keeping us sane during lockdown !

    Thank you very much for the class. I am 52 years old and I have not done ballet since I was 16. Exercises are my relaxation, in this time of great stress. Music is wonderful, I really enjoy it. Thank you all for making such a beautiful routine available to everyone. Could only do 20 minutes. But with perseverance I can finish. Thanks again.

    Took a class this morning & loved it! Not sure who taught, it was intermediate & hard. Had to really think. Out of my comfort zone & got a good workout. I can't seem to re-find it but another of your classes has come up & I will try that & maybe get more familiar w U-tube mechanics I agree center would be easier to follow if one of your gorgeous dancers had their backs to us. Loved the combos! Yay!

  • @pasdechat5957
    @pasdechat5957 Před 4 lety +33

    Wonderful class and I had a really good work out! I just had a hard time following the centre combinations. I would normally be facing the teacher’s back when learning combinations so I was having a hard time figuring out my left and right sides on this one lol. Maybe next time the teacher can mark it once with his back facing the camera?

    Thank you for making this recording. Many studios are closed for spring break where I am, and this was just what I needed. I was concerned that there was no level associated with this class, but it was easy to just replay whatever I didn't quite get. Mr. Porretta does an excellent job demonstrating and explaining the exercises, with running commentary during the exercises, and the dancers are beautiful and elegant.

    Thank you so much for this class. The exercises in the beginning have really have been life changing. I have really high arches, and my feet get horribly cramped if I wear flat shoes. Doing the beginning stretch at the beginning of the video has helped me to find a way to actually stretch the inside of my feet.

    Yes great class! Would be wonderful to have a short companion video - center work filmed from the back (would just need one side), and then some comments for tricky parts. Example: my plie in arabesque looks more like I'm collapsing than dancing ;-) so could use ideas on how to make that lighter. Keep dancing and stay healthy!

      @misseslalaDIA Před 4 lety

      It’s true ballet has always been classically involved with classical music. However over the years with it becoming more modernized you do find teachers will use other genres of music as well as have different live musicians play various instruments. In the end it just comes to preference in this day and age. Professional ballet companies are very traditional and will stick to what they know usually. Speaking from experience, I graduated with a BFA in dance and have danced for years.
