[QUOTE="zauberflote, post: 2297309, member: 496650"] It's a pandemic version of a regular class. So no, you need no props, but you can use soup cans for weights, a chair for a barre, and a rolled-up towel for various things. Yes, the special internet live stream pricing went away as soon as the ballet school where she teaches opened for Summer Intensive school. So there is a $22 single class fee, and various packages. I use the one that gets class price down to $10-- it's an all-access monthly pass for $160. On this pass You may take as many adult ballet, tap, modern, movement, and barre classes as you like, in studio when offered, and/or streaming when offered. So I get 4 barre classes/week which is about my limit. None of the ballet classes are livestreamed, because that would be pointless after the barre section was over! How to take: acquire the MindBody app. Search for Richmond Ballet, Richmond Virginia (US). View the schedule. Purchase classes! Now I am not sure what MindBody does about foreign currencies.... A word about the class-- it is NOT a clique of ponytailed skinny 20-somethings. It is real people, mostly women, but most of us are confirmed "barre rats" and do wear ponytails [emoji16]. The classes are very impossible to keep up with if you've never done organized movement before, and even if you have decades of ballet classes under your belt the first dozen classes are impossible to follow. But nobody cares because it is all so much painful fun! The instructor, Lauren Fagone, is a former principal dancer at Richmond Ballet, she knows her stuff, is fiendishly inventive, and never stops talking you through what you're supposed to be thinking of in addition to what you thought you were supposed to be doing [emoji16] Have I sold you yet? Hope so! [/QUOTE]
