| | |  | Ballets & Classics | Home » » » Ballet Boot Camp 2 | | | | | | | Description: | | A challenging and fun sequence of dancers' toning exercises followed by fluid dance patterns. Motivated by the classical orchestral soundtrack, you'll feel like you're an aspiring dancer in a "real" ballet training session. To help you focus, Jessica Sherwood breaks the toning into specific section(e.g. "balance," "abs," "center barre-work"). Then, she carefully - but quickly - demos each move one-on-one before moving into the full class workout. The ending cardio segment features a non-stop series of graceful, flowing ballet movements. Throughout, the terminology and attitude is pure ballet ("now we'll add a weight transfer..."). Music by Tchaikovsky, Beethoven and Bach. Note: Different exercises, a little less "artsy" and slightly more intense than the original "BalletBootCamp." ©2002. (87 min.). For a slightly less intense workout with different exercises, see the original BalletBootCamp | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

 The best ballet workout ever!May 09, 2006
By lostitbaby
This is the best ballet workout ever! I also love the first Ballet Boot Camp. I have tried NYC Ballet workouts 1 & 2, Balletone and Center Moves, all of Stephanie Herman's DVDs, Bar Method, Cardio Barre, Melissa Lowe's three ballet DVDs, and other various ballet inspired videos and DVDs. This outdoes them all. It definitely is worth ever penny. I have lost 215 pounds and reshaped my bod with this. I give it a thousand stars.

one of the better ballet workouts.Aug 28, 2005
By Migraine
"TTFN"
Love this one!!!!! Well, as much as one can love a workout DVD. I surely own enough of them, mostly collecting dust. I actually use this DVD when I cant get to class.
I have about 30 years of ballet class experience and am still able to find a challenge each time while enjoying myself. My daughter, who doesn't take ballet, bought this DVD for herself, and loves it.. (she made an attempt to swipe mine...)

ExcellentJun 27, 2006
By C. Murphy
Given the great reviews of this so far, it's hard to imagine that these don't do this DVD justice. Jessica Sherwood is effortlessly elegant in her movement and she is clear in her instruction. She's also lovely- not too enthusiastic nor too rigid- just very natural and engaging. This DVD in its entirety feels like a ballet class and a very unpretentious class at that. There are very good exercises and basic ballet, so it's enjoyable and gives a thorough conditioning for the entire body. As a basis for comparison, I think Ballet Boot Camp 2 is more thorough and contains more ballet than NYC Ballet II (I really like this DVD too but it feels more like isolated movements instead of ballet). I also prefer the choreography and appreciate the better instruction and inclusion of the arms in Ballet Boot Camp 2 which I was not so impressed with in NYC Ballet II.

Great WorkoutFeb 11, 2007
By Carmen
I like this video for the workout. You are not going to become a ballerina by doing the workout. If you want to learn classical ballet, take a class. This is a traditional workout video. The majority of the workout involves doing floor exercises were you are going to work your abs, arms, back and legs. These are exercises that a dancer would do to maintain his or her body. Yes, there is a section in the beginning were you warm-up doing some ballet moves, and another section at the end were you can practice some more ballet moves. I usually bypass the latter. I would recommend this video. The video was filmed in a dance class, so don't expect a lavish production. The participants also appear to be students, of all ages, who are actually taking a ballet course from the instructor.

 Nice Workout. Plain and Simple.Sep 24, 2006
By K. Mccormack
"Wannabe Cook"
This DVD is a good workout. It is a basic background and very plain and simple. Don't let that stop you from trying it. The exercises are effective and you will gain strength in your legs and core. You will begin to sculpt your legs and arms. I keep it in my rotation and I have many many dance and aerobic DVDs. I would recommend it if you are interested in learning dance or practicing between classes.
