DVD Reviews of Ballet 101 - A Beginner's Class, DVD

DVD Review: Ballet 101
Summary: 4 Stars

This DVD is great for a child who would like to have the feel of her own teacher at home and be involved in ballet starting with the basics. I have a special needs child and this worked great!

DVD Review: A Beginners Ballet 101
Summary: 4 Stars

This is actually a pretty good video. I purchased it for myself (43) because I wanted to learn basic ballet. If you are looking for a workout video...this is not it. But if you are looking to learn the first basic steps of ballet and condition your legs and ankles to move like they need to, then this is a good start. I recomend it for all ages as it is very easy step by step and slow moving process. My 3 year old was able to keep up on the first half easily. I do wish they had more stretching and that each move was done more then one time through. I paused the video to be able to do the steps a few time through. Overall, It is very simple and easy steps.

DVD Review: Just like being in a ballet class
Summary: 4 Stars

I have done a few beginner ballet classes and this DVD is just like being in a real class. Although the production is not sophisticated, unlike many ballet workout DVDs this DVD provides good advice on technique. I think this is really important because it helps you to do ballet safely and correctly. I bought this DVD along with 2 ballet work out DVDs and I found this one really good to start with - it helped me to learn the basic technique which I could then apply to the work out DVDs. I would not recommend buying this DVD if you want a strenuous workout, although it is still physically challenging and I found myself working up a sweat in some of the sections.

DVD Review: Boring and stiff
Summary: 1 Stars

This is a rather boring and stiff DVD - my 3.5 year old daughter watched it for 5 minutes before asking for a change. This may scare some people off from ballet rather than encouraging them! The disclaimers at the front of the DVD, although perhaps necessary - add to the sense of seriousness of this DVD. Not recommended.

DVD Review: Not very good
Summary: 1 Stars

I was looking for a video that would take your through a class bar routine and this wasn't it. It did break down some of the most basic moves but it never really put them together as part of a fluid routine.
