In college, I had dance classes and the workouts were wonderful. My body looked its best and I long to return to that look. I have owned this DVD set previously, but lost the first disc, which has my fave exercises in it. Love this!

I miss taking ballet classes and decided to give this video a try. I like it because it doesnt spend a lot of time teaching, you just DO IT. It is exercises anyone can do who has ever exercised, you dont have to be proficient in ballet to do this tape, It has a lot of yoga-inspired exercises and stretches and strengthening moves as well as dance moves. It is separated into chapters according to what the section is about. I have done some of them and cant wait to get started doing these exercises on a daily basis. Being a physical education teacher, I know these exercises will produce a stronger core and legs and abdomen. I can't wait to get started! If I had to say anything negative about it, Id say the teacher is not as entertaining as those on other exercise tapes I have seen. It is very professionally done though.Read full review
This is definitely a workout that does wonders for some but may not be for others. You'll find yourself worrying about being more graceful than actually working out the muscles in your body. I'm not too keen of the exercises that require you to lay down so I advise to watch those steps so you can get accustomed to how fast they take one step to another. This is definitely an adult workout. There is no need for subliminal enthusiasm, no "way to go, you're doing great!" and the music is calming and relaxing. I have always wanted to learn ballet and to incorporate this as a workout, it gets me toned to dancing which I also love to do. As for many people who start a workout dvd, they usually don't have the body for it so I find myself stretching areas of my body that haven't been stretched since highschool. But the great thing about this workout, the next day I was able to do the exercise more proficiently and with ease.Read full review
This is a great workout for those that love ballet, or even those people who just want to get a better posture, better stretches in their muscles, and improve their balance. I bought this to help with all of those things. I recently underwent reconstructive surgery on my ankle (years of spraining them), and I want to regain my range of motion and improve my balance and strength before I have the second one done. I also have arthritis in several of my joints, and I know that if I don't keep them moving, they will just get worse. This workout is low-impact, and you can do the stretches to the best of your ability and gradually improve your flexibility. I have always admired the muscle tone of ballet dancers, and this is great way to get that.
I got this DVD after a friend recommended it. We had both been in a ballet class together in college (though neither of us are built like any kind of ballerina I have ever seen!) and we really missed the class. I am about 30 lbs overweight and was looking for something to help me tone and get away from the monotony of doing the elliptical everyday. I was shocked when I tried this workout. It is mostly about slow controlled movements. They are not too hard to execute, no matter how flexible (or NOT flexible!) you are, but they will KICK YOUR BUTT! Within the first week, I noticed my core getting tighter. I thought I had done every ab exercise in the book, but there is one in particular that I have never seen anywhere but this video and man does it work every part of your stomach! It is also a really fun video if you like ballet but never had the chance to take classes. I give it two thumbs up :)Read full review
