 Just like ballet classJul 31, 2008
By Elizabeth Armenta
"corporate writer"
I did ballet for about 12 years. I hadn't taken a class since I was 17, although I have taken other forms of dance since. I am 27 now. This DVD was like transporting myself back into ballet class. The dancers are beautiful, the music is nice, and Jennifer Kries is pleasant to watch as always.
I just tried it for the first time, and started with the Intermediate workout. It was challenging! I very much enjoyed the workout. I got a decent cardio workout from it too.
My only complaint, and reason for giving it 4 stars instead of 5, is that it was too short. At 15 minutes or so, you are just getting going! The DVD is over quite suddenly, and your heart is pumping, and you're left going "that's it? no!" In my opinion 15 minutes is hardly enough time for a good workout, even though you will be sweating by the time the 15 minutes is up.
I think this will be great for days that I want a shorter, but good, all over workout. Maybe on days I do yoga as well. I think this would be a good place for beginners to start, considering the length of the workout and the different workouts for each level (beginner, intermediate, advanced). This will be one of my favorites. I've looked at other ballet DVDs out there and I think this one may be the best. Too bad it's not longer!

 Good techniques but TOO shortOct 21, 2008
By Missbruingal
"Workoutgal"
This Ballet DVD is broken down into beginner, intermediate, and advanced. However, both the intermediate and the advanced are the exact same workout. In other words, the advanced portion is the exact recording of the intermediate, with a disclosure at the start saying to "just kick higher". I was so extremely disappointed because I was soooo hoping for more challenging ballet moves. Also, each segment is only 15 minutes long. So it's hard to get a full, challenging ballet workout with this disc, unless you're willing to play the same sequence of moves twice. Elise Gulan's Ballet Conditioning is a far more challenging and full length workout.

 I loved it!Aug 09, 2008
By Red Dragon Rose
This is a great video for beginners who are looking to flesh out their at-home workouts. I love dance videos and thought I would try to add ballet to my repertoire. This video is fun, a good workout, and started at "beginner" so I found it easy to learn. This is probably not a good video for anyone that has taken lots of ballet, but if you are a novice like me, you will probably like it.

Interesting Ballet DVDMar 08, 2009
By S. Rubin
The DVD is perfect for the individual seeking gentle stretches and some work on body grace and poise. But if you are seeking to truly develop tone using ballet moves, this one will be too basic. If you are not really seeking more than stretches, this one adequately will give you a safe and easy workout.

Each Class is 15 Minutes!Dec 27, 2009
By Lisa M. Mims
This is great if you have some dance or Pilates background, and/or you're not in great shape and/or you're a beginner.
Set against a blue skies background, Jennifer teaches basic ballet movements in an approachable manner. (I have the NYC Ballet Workout, and it is intimidating, even though I took ballet as a child and was a professional Pilates teacher for seven years.)
This is great if you're looking for a quick morning workout, and I really wish it had been marketed that way. This isn't for purists--but it's great for someone looking for an approachable fast ballet practice for early morning!
