Dance at home with Oklahoma City Ballet

Sheltering in place doesn't mean we can't still be active, and technology allows us to get our exercise inspiration from all over the world — or just across the city. Many professional dancers staying at home are going live online and posting videos of classes so you can take a little ballet break from the comfort of your living room (or kitchen or bedroom — you get the idea). The great thing about a basic ballet class is you really don't need any special equipment or clothing.
