Between Tot & Teen - Mignon Furman & Steven Mitchell DVD - SM05D
Description:
SM05D This beginner ballet class features two girls and a boy performing a simple ballet class for 8 to 10 year olds. The music in the class is from the CD 'Between Tots & Teens' by Steven Mitchell. There is no main menu of chapters but there are 32 different chapters that are outlined on the jacket. Several exercises are devoted to preparing a student for Pirouettes as well as Developpe and jumps. The 28 different exercises are a perfect starting place for any beginning ballet dancer. The simple setting of a single barre with three dancers is very much like being in a real ballet class. This DVD contains explanations and demonstrations of many different steps conducted by Mignon Furman who is from the Royal Ballet in London, England and is director of the American Academy of Ballet in New York City.

Beginning Ballet for girls and boysMay 14, 2007
By Katherine Rosengren
"Wings n Things"
This DVD was of particular interest to me in part because it did not attempt to gloss over the *fatigue factor* as the younger students did combinations over an extended period of time. Often this aspect is not verbally addressed ,here it is shown, as well as mentioned. It clearly shows how girls and boys are trained to develop different muscles and learn different steps.The age range of children *tots to teens* was lovely; showing the youngest students learning simple steps progressing into teens years manifesting the end product of the lessons, with Grace,Skill and Endurance Katherine Rosengren ( a great asset for teachers of young children)
