This digital fitness platform brings the dance studio to your living room

Even if you've never set foot in a studio in your life, Steezy's Intro to Ballet makes this form of dance feel accessible for rookies or even first timers. The program's lead instructor, Brittany Cavaco of The English National Ballet, does an excellent job of providing encouragement and modifications throughout the program, which I was particularly grateful for while relearning the basics.

The platform's features and functionalities provide all the tools that would be accessible to you in a live dance studio to use at your own leisure. Instead of asking your instructor to go over a certain move, you have the loop feature and can slow the class down to your own speed. Want to switch your position in the classroom to be closer or further away from the instructor? Use mirror mode or shift the view from front to back.

While the program is well paced and easy to follow as a beginner, I still wish I could've taken the class alongside at least one other beginner dancer. All three of the dancers featured throughout the program appear to be seasoned ballerinas — which feels great once you've mastered these moves and are able to keep up with them, but when you're just starting the program it feels intimidating.

Thanks for the feature, ! 😍
