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 online for a mobile barre at Bol.com or Costway . Find a luxury barre by Harlequin.

STABLE CHAIR
For certain exercises you’ll need a stable chair that you can sit on.

BE VISIBLE
Use a simple clip on wide angle lens, available 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 class.
