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

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.

DVD Review: Excellent Ballet Instructional DvD.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent product and one that is easy to understand and follow. The instructor helps you feel that you can do ballet no matter what age. This is a true gem and I highly recommend it for anyone who is starting out in the field of ballet.

DVD Review: Not a bad DVD, but won't give you much of a workout
Summary: 4 Stars

This video will teach you basic steps and terminology, but you won't get much more out of it if you're looking to exercise.

As an introduction to Ballet, though, it is excellent.
