Founded by former Royal Ballet dancer and Royal Ballet School qualified teacher, Sander Blommaert, this platform was created to be accessible, affordable and fun!
So, what actually is it?
There are two parts: the learning and our community
1. Learning
Be coached by world class teachers and dancers from around the world on all that you need to know for your ballet journey. You can be at any stage, age and level to benefit from the material that we share. Some examples of our current content:
Audition preparation course (for entering vocational ballet schools)
Flexibility tutorials
Warm up and cool down tutorials
2. Community
Join others on their journey and share the progress that you are making, ask questions of the Ballet on Demand team, and request for specific courses that you would like to see.
In building our community we are creating a global set of dancer who can learn from one another and the content on this platform.
