Basic, but goodApr 05, 2009
By C. OBrien The ballet class on this DVD is great... just a classical ballet class as I remember it. The description says beginning-advanced, but it's actually just beginning-intermediate. You could always add your own enhancements to make it more challenging, but it's not given to you in the DVD. The pace is good and the music is nice. He is Russian, but it's overdubbed in English, so sometimes his speech doesn't quite match up with what he's doing, but the music is synced well, so that's all that really matters to me. It's a very simple class - I think it's about an hour long - but if you're like me and just trying to get back into the swing of ballet before going back to taking real classes, it's perfect.

Great ballet workoutAug 29, 2010
By busymom This is a great at home ballet video---the closest thing to taking ballet class I have found on the internet. It's inefficient and not practical to schedule one's life around dance classes when you are not in the dance world. In my pre-mom days, I use to dance 3 -4 days a week and really miss it. I hope he comes out with other videos. The music is great and you work every muscle.

Enjoyable Class!Dec 22, 2008
By Chu Mei Yan Georgina
"Chinese Yogi"
Although the set of the ballet class was simple and looked like someone's house, the content in this DVD was amazing. All moves were properly explained while Victor was demonstrating them. The music was soothing. Great class for an adult Ballerina like me!

Bad audio-video synchronizationFeb 13, 2008
By William Wragg I bought this as a gift to my wife. She is a Ballet teacher. The class follows the typical exercises' order and they are well executed. The big problem is that there is a very bad synchronization between audio and video. The lipsync (in speeches) problem is tolerable, but the bad synchronization between excercises and music makes it almost impossible to follow.
