DVD Reviews of Ballet Boot Camp
DVD Review: As close as being in a dance studio as it gets.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best ballet video class I've had,and I've owned just about all of them in a quest for a stay-at-home alternative to a $40 studio class.
It goes through routines the way you would in a classroom and Jessica goes through the technique like a real-live instructor does.
My beef with other videos is that they're structured more like a strength training work-out and fail to stress injury prevention which is boring, dangerous and doing ballet a disservice because it's such a fun and effective way of staying in shape.
I danced until I was 20, stopped for several years. This summer I got to a size 16 when I decided I wouldn't betray the sisterhood if I assessed a need to get in shape again. Since I dislike traditional exercise and I missed it I chose ballet for the job. I'm 4 sizes smaller after only 2.5 months. That means I went from an XL to a L-M before the season was over. I credit ballet boot camp with that. The awesome thing is that even when I skipped for a very busy week, the muscles kept getting leaner, a total incentive to get back on the wagon, plus it is really very fun.
I love this video so much I want to take it behind the bleachers and get it pregnant.

Description of Ballet Boot Camp
DESCRIPTION: Tough muscle-toning combined with ballet-oriented cardio ... all done to a stirring orchestral soundtrack. From basic sit ups and push-ups to elegant chassés and arabesques, you're sure to develop a lean, strong dancer's body (as you experience the joy and energy of classical ballet). The ending aerobics is especially fun - a graceful, flowing medley of simple movement phrases. Jessica Sherwood, from New York's Crunch Gym, blends authentic dancers' training techniques with down-to-earth teaching ("this doesn't have to be perfect ..."). A very "artistic," stylish production and fabulous, motivating music by Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Strauss and Bach. No equipment needed. ©2000. (65 min.). For a slightly more intense workout with different exercises, see BalletBootCamp II.Bestsellers in DVD
