about our online classes

  • Ballet 1 is a Classical Ballet class for adults with no/little experience in dance. It is suitable for people who never did Ballet in their lives and for those who tried it but are not very experienced dancers. The focus is on establishing the foundations of ballet technique, expressiveness and musicality, following the guidelines by the Royal Academy of Dance.

  • Ballet 2 is suitable for dancers who have done Ballet in the past. At this level, students are expected to be familiarised with Ballet vocabulary and to have a solid base in classical dancing. From technique to artistry, this is the class for those who need a bigger challenge. Students will need Miss Inês’ approval to enter this level.

  • This class works your feet's and legs’ strength, alignment and mobility, even if you are not dancing on pointe yet! In each class, students are carefully observed and guided so that they can progress safely and achieve their goals of dancing en pointe. This lesson is suitable for both Ballet 1 and Ballet 2 students. No pointe shoes should be bought without the approval of the teacher.

  • In Classical Repertoire we will learn adapted versions of the most famous Ballet choreographies, from Swan Lake to the Nutcracker, taught by guest teachers or by Miss Inês. These are great opportunities to enter deeper into the Ballet world and to dress the skin of your favourite characters.

  • Core Training is a class for the strength and mobility of the abdominal, spinal and arm muscles. It helps increasing balance and core stability while reducing back pain and improving posture. Since dance movements are mainly supported by our abdominal and spinal muscles, this class is a key addition to any schedule.

  • Flexibility Training was made to thank our bodies by carefully stretching and lengthening every muscle. Stretching is vital for a healthy body, prevents muscular injuries and increases posture. Expect to visibly increase your flexibility and finish every class as if you are levitating.

  • Legs Training classes are workouts for all leg muscles, including quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes and calves. The main focus is to build strength, stamina and endurance you need to keep a healthy dance practice. Every week, a different combination of exercises will improve your fitness level, accompanied by the most energetic playlists, a good amount of sweat and the best laughs.

  • Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) is an innovative body-conditioning and strengthening program that has been designed to enhance students' technique by focussing on training the muscle memory required in each exercise in all forms of dance. The program helps with injury prevention and rehabilitation and enhances the ability of athletes to perform at their best. PBT focuses on core strength, weight placement and alignment of the body with a gradual approach of carefully designed exercises and repetitions of these exercises that trigger their muscle memory.

    Students with B Premium subscription will have access to all recordings for free, even if lessons were not all booked.

    If you opt for an Unlimited plan, please only book the classes you plan to attend and free your space when you know you will miss them.

    In-person classes and special events will not be refunded in case of absence except in extraordinary circumstances.

  • You will need a computer with an Internet connection, preferably placed away from you so that legs and feet are especially visible on camera. We are aware that working from a home environment has some restrictions. However, try to find an empty space and vacate the room of rugs if possible.

    For all Training classes, a yoga mat will be needed. For Ballet and Pointe, get a chair or piece of furniture that works as a barre. For PBT class you will also need a yoga mat, a pilates/swiss ball, a resistance band, two medium softballs, lacrosse/massage/squash ball and yoga blocks (optional).

  • For all classes, comfortable sportswear is a good option (like leggings/shorts and top/t-shirt) and socks. However, we advise ballet gear for Ballet classes (female/male uniform, tights, skirt (for those who wish), waist elastic and ballet canvas shoes), although none of these is mandatory.

    You can opt to purchase our STUDIO B Uniform produced by Ballet Rosa if you wish. Avoid elements that interfere with movement like fringes, hanging objects and jewellery. Long hair should be securely tied, preferably in a bun for Ballet classes.
