Kelly Ripa impresses doing ballet in skimpy tutu

Kelly Ripa, who trained as a ballerina, is all tiny tutu in a strappy leotard as she slips back into her balletic persona and joins the professionals in a studio. The 50-year-old talk show queen, who made 2019 headlines for helping break a ballet Guinness World Record, is fresh from appearing in dance-centric footage on the “Live! With Kelly and Ryan” Instagram, with footage showing the former sitcom star seemingly very much at-east with the pros.

Kelly, back in her pointe shoes on Instagram last year, was in soft ballet slippers and a figure-flaunting ballet outfit here, where a brief clip showed the mom of three practicing at the Broadway Theater in New York City.

Kelly Ripa Gets Her Ballerina Game On In Tutu

Scroll for the video. It featured Kelly and 46-year-old co-host Ryan Seacrest explaining that NYC is one of the entertainment capitals of the world – and the two were out to show their involvement in the arts. Featuring Kelly way more than Ryan, the footage teased “we” being on stage, in the wings and in the “rehearsal halls.”

“Honing our artistic skills, take a look,” mom of three Kelly told the audience as she stood in a chic blouse and tapered pants.

Kelly, first seen rehearsing how to tell dancers to take their “places,” was then seen delivering major moves with professional dancers – first, backstage as a group rehearsed, then in the studio, where a daylit setting offered a better view as Kelly joined ballerinas en pointe.

The group of dancers, taking on a port de bras as they shimmied on their toes, surrounded Kelly, who was seen on demi-pointe and with her arms in the classical ballet third position. The blonde, wearing a black leotard, highlighted her petite frame in a classic white tutu, also wearing her hair in a bun. “One, two, three, four,” the class lead was heard saying as a piano played.

Plenty more footage showed former “All My Children” actress exercising her dancing chops, with “American Idol” host Ryan then seen outside a stage door for a “King Kong” intro. Start watching out for Kelly after the 1-minute mark, with more photos below.

‘Peter Pan’ Workout Body

Kelly had, in 2019, referred to her body as a “Peter Pan” one, this as she opened up to The Cut and outlined her obsessive morning coffee routine and super-varied workouts.

“I was talking to a cardiologist and he said to make sure your heart beats out of your chest every day. The more you exercise, the healthier it is. And I can be honest: My body looks like Peter Pan no matter what I do. I’ve never been a va-va-voom woman,” she said.
