Pineapple Dance Studios live online classes?

[ebinyrobin]

Does anyone use the live online zoom classes?
I've just tried to book something for tomorrow and there's nothing available at all, not a single class.

I'm not in London so can't go in person.

Anyone? I've emailed to ask but thought I'd check here too.

I don't but I'm delighted to see they are still a thing. They were sooooo the trend in the early 90s, to have their merch was elite level in my school.

Yes, they definitely are still a thing!

The live/zoom classes were lifesavers during lockdown and im glad they kept them, though numbers using them aren't as high as they were.

I do hope they haven't just removed the live classes without warning in advance or notifying us. That would be dreadful. I haven't been able to do the class I intended to do today

Yes. I do a class with a couple of my favourite ballet teachers - I took class with them from their sitting rooms all through the lockdowns. But it helped that I had done class with them in person before the pandemic whenever I was in London.

Danceworks also does class by Zoom, but I'm not sure about their set up. The teachers at Pineapple that I take class from are pretty good at paying attention to the Zoom as well as the live class. It's a real skill.

I've just checked the Pineapple website & there are loads of classes listed for Zoom - you need to click on "Online" - or use their app. The app allows you to book & pay quite easily.

Sorry! Thanks @FarEast

I did receive a reply from Pineapple and should have updated. They are indeed continuing with live zoom classes as you say. The app must have gone bonkers while updating the timetable because it kept changing, so I had to reinstall in the end to access the new timetable.

It's great to be able to access such great ballet teachers, and from Danceworks. My daughter does them too.

I sadly no longer regularly visit London so I'm so grateful we're able to take classes this way.

Who are your favourites (we've probably been in class together!)

Quite possibly !

I've tried lots but Pineapple Dance Studio favourites include Anna du Boisson and Joshua Barwick.

Alex Turner for stretch class.
