Summary: How could you not like it?
Comment: I really enjoy these two workout videos. I was mild-moderately in shape before starting these videos and it really provided the extra boost I needed as far as toning is concerned. It works all the major muscle groups and provides a bit of cardio. What I particularly like is the fact that the exercises are very safe and with their instruction there is very little risk of injury. The first video is a bit more dated than the second but that is of little importance. I feel this is good for any level. You do not need to know a thing about ballet to figure it out (I certainly don't) and you don't have to be at a certain fitness level to reap the benefits of these exercises. The stretches are fabulous and keep the body limber.
PS: I convinced my husband to try them as well, who is a Taekwondo instructor and he too felt the exercises were great!

Summary: wonderful wonderful
Comment: I have taken ballet for many years and have also taught. I have moved and have few classes any where close to the area. I am older but try to keep my ballet body going so I alternate with David Howard and , Dmitri Roudnev. These tapes fit right in and I so agree with the reviewer who said your body feels like a paint brush with the music and exercises in the routine. As anyone who has taken ballet for many years knows, a tendu can be a workout in itself if done correctly. It is a beautiful DVD.

Summary: Excellent but sad
Comment: The exercises are more than good, if you have done any Pilates you will find its roots in dance, in fact they are not difficult to follow the only problem is when you compare the way you can do it and the way is performed by a dance professional, which means the way it should be done. It can be a little sad. The images are clear, the conducting voice also, and in general the video is ok.

Summary: Great for all
Comment: This is by far the best work out dvd that I have ever had, and I have a lot! :) I showed it to my mom, sister and best friend I was so impressed and they were also blown away and now plan to order it. :)

Summary: You don't need experience at all!!
Comment: I've seen the product completely and I must say YOU DON'T NEED ANY PREVIOUS TRAINING IN BALLET/PILATES. I am a little overweighted and I was scared to buy an exercise package that I can't follow.....I was surprised with this kind of program.....the exercises are tough, bc they are made to sculpture your body.....but they are not difficult to follow. The only part you could get lost is the warming....and you just have to pay attention......everything else is easy to follow. The music will make you forget you are working out....you will be relaxed breathing. The dancers who participate are an inspiration!!! they make everyy move look so natural!!!!
I give this product 5/5.....It's incredible how they conceived this kind of workout and adapted to normal people like us. This has worked for me better than the gym I've paid for 4 years.
You won't regret of buying this product. Besides this reccommendation, getting ballet shoes would help even more.
