EQUIPMENT / ACCESSORIES ONLINE

BARRE
When joining online ballet you’ll need something to use as a barre, a chair, table or door at the height of your elbow. Or check this great and cheap mobile barre at Bol.com or Costway . Find a luxury barre by Harlequin. Or search with Google

STABLE CHAIR
For certain exercises you’ll need a stable chair without wheels (!) that you can sit on.

BALLETSHOES
If you have a slipery floor at home, balletshoes are not mandatory. You might try Foot Undies for dancers or if your floor is slippery dance bare feet or make your balletshoes wet.

YOGA MAT or TOWEL
You’ll need a yogamat or pilatesmat or a towel for floor exercises, stretching, points and / or small jumps. Compare Tunturi mats 

NECESSARY for PERSONAL FEEDBACK
Use a simple clip on wide angle lens, available from 10 euro at Bol.com. The lens will give your ipad/laptop a wider angle of view making it easy to be visible from head to toe during online class.

IF YOUR FLOOR IS SLIPPERY
Dance floor (optional) Dot2dance, Harlequin Dance Mat or Marktplaats

WIFI NOT WORKING PROPERLY
Try a WiFi repeater or extender, this is used to extend the coverage area of your WiFi network. You can find them at Media Markt

“Ballet should never look predictable. When you dance each move you make is a promise. Even when standing in preparation you are making a promise that there is a story to be told”
