The worst ballet video!

This ballet video was terrible! I have worked out with Melissa Lowe's original ballet video for years and I was very disappointed with this new video. I have danced for over 20 years, ballet, jazz, modern, ballroom etc. and I could not follow this video. I am so glad I checked it out at the library first. The instruction is terrible in this video, the camera angle is constantly changing and many images are overlapped so you can't tell what you are supposed to be doing. The majority of the time the camera is on the upper half of the dancers so you have no idea wat your legs are supposed to be doing. The verbal instruction is minimal and not specific enough to follow. I feel that even experienced dancers would have difficulty with this video. The New York City Ballet workout and Ballet Boot Camp are much better choices.

Ballet Dancers will love it - anyone else will NOT

Yes, I agree with all other reviewers in saying that you MUST have ballet experience to do this "workout" - at least 5 years or so of ballet training. It really annoys me when former ballet dancers and ballet teachers think they can sell a video to the general public by calling it a "workout" instead of a ballet class...make no mistake, this IS an advanced ballet class. I've been dancing and teaching for almost 20 years and I, personally, like the video, but it should NOT be sold to the public as a workout that anyone can do. If you do not have ballet experience you could risk serious injury trying to follow along with this fast paced class. On the other hand...dancers will love it.

Ugh!

Thank godness I checked this video from the library first. The combinations are long and you need to make sure you memorize them when doing them on the right leg because once you go to the left leg you are on your own. Not only that, I noticed, as the other reviewers, that they show the heads to much and not the legs. (Hello! legs is all ballet is about.)I suggets to either check it out from a library first or borrow it from someone before buying. This video is not for everyone.
