Discover the joy of movement and the beauty of dance with the second program in this series by Instructor Melissa Lowe. Melissa introduces two new workouts that will help you strengthen your muscles, get rid of cellulite, reshape, condition and tone your body. This workout will not only help you create the body you have always wanted, but will also help you gain an overall sense of well being. Previous ballet experience is helpful but not necessary. Success on both workouts lies in performing the exercises in the correct position and with the correct posture. Melissa Lowe received early training at the School of American Ballet and American Ballet Theatre where she was an apprentice to the company. She danced professionally with the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, the Houston Ballet as a soloist and the Pacific Northwest Ballet as a principal dancer. She is currently a Professor of Ballet and the Director of Early Movement Education at the University of Arizona.

Great substitution for class

As an intermediate-advanced dancer, I have looked for years for an excercise video that gives me the feeling, both physically and artistically, as an actual class. This is the closest I've found--for the first time I actually look forward to doing an "exercise" video, and feel stretched and energized when I'm done. The combinations are too short, so I usually do each one twice on each side, or do both floor sections, followed by both barres, etc.
I can't speak for beginners, but as an experienced dancer, this is a great opportunity to hear a live pianist and enjoy interesting combinations at home--and the centre work actually fits in my living room!

ballet 2

I loved the first dvd and got this one so I can alternate my workouts and not get bored and my kids like to join me as a bonus.

My wife said it's one of the best!

My wife exersises on these videos.
She says this training is one of the best!

My favorite out of her three DVD's.

I have all three Ballet Workout DVD's. This one is my favorite. It is faster paced than the first one, but still not too fast to be confusing. I took ballet for 10 years when I was younger, so I knew a lot of the terms. She doesn't spend a lot of time explaining the terms, like she does in the first DVD. I prefer that, but it would make it harder for a total beginner (at first. You can always rewind to see something again until you've learned it.)

The stage set and the costumes are a little dumb. I prefered the ballet studio staging of the first one.

The patterns are faster and a little harder than in the first one, but I feel like it gives you a better workout.

I can feel that this video is helping me improve my flexibility, which is part of the reason I bought it.

I think that this is a good DVD. I use it ALL THE TIME. I have fun doing it (well, as much fun as you can have working out...) I would reccomend it if you are looking for something a little different. If you are a beginner I would suggest getting the first one, and working your way up to this one.
