TILER PECK
Tiler Peck is a principal dancer at the New York City Ballet. When the pandemic closed dance studios, she started live streaming her workouts daily on Instagram in #turnitoutwithtiler. From her family’s home in Bakersfield, California, Peck uses their kitchen island counter for an hour-long class of barre, floor, and pointe work. Classes are on IGLive Tuesday and Thursday at 10am PST. For some added inspiration, Peck’s own story deserves a mention. After a near career ending neck injury, she battled her way back to appear in Swan Lake last February, right before the pandemic put a hold on the NYCB season.
ISABELLA BOYLSTON
Isabella Boylston is a principal dancer at American Ballet Theatre in NYC and Director of Ballet Sun Valley in Sun Valley, Idaho, where she is from. Like Tiler Peck, she too began sharing ballet and barre workouts last spring on Instagram from her home, a more modern NYC setting, but still with a playful approach and unexpected hip hop soundtrack to match! We have to give a shout out to her styling too. Boylston is often joined by her friend and fellow ABT principal dancer, James B Whiteside.

BOSS FAMILY WORKOUT
It’s a family affair for professional dancers Allison Holker and husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss, along with their kids, when they hit the virtual dance floor on Instagram and TikTok for their Boss Family Workout. Both Allison and tWitch (in-house DJ on The Ellen DeGeneres Show), were discovered on So You Think You Can Dance, and Allison later went on to Dancing With The Stars.
