VHS Movie Reviews of Ballet 201, Beyond the Basics - VHS [VHS]Movie Review: Learned ballet in Three days! Summary: 5 StarsThis is perfect if you already had some backround and know the basics. The pace is good and harder steps are reppeated a lot. At the end you learn a dance using all the steps you learnd in the video. Also shows some of the nessicary streches to do before working at the bar and nbefore centerwork. Wish there was a 301!!!!
Movie Review: Teach reviews this tape! Summary: 4 StarsI found these teaching video to be informative,and helpful to myself in teaching proper alighment to my students. I lend out these tapes to my students, and I have seen a differance in their work. Now instead of pointing their foot strait,they have more turn out,and they lift there heel in their point. It backs up what I teach them. Ms. Kim
Movie Review: A Good Class Summary: 5 StarsI bought the 101 tape for my 10 year old to prepare her for her first ballet class. And as is suggested, I danced right along with her to supervise her moves. We enjoyed it so much that I bought the 201 tape. I think this series does exactly what it promises it will do, in a nice smooth and slow pace for beginners. The same instructor adds on to the basic moves that you learned in 101 and then teaches you an entertaining dance at the end. I thought it was very professionally done, as well as, a great preparation for my daughter. As a beginner, I would be wary of reviews from more experienced dancers. I have the Howard series, and found it to be way too advanced for me and my daughter.
Movie Review: Okay for beginners but not great Summary: 2 StarsI recently started taking ballet classes in my early twenties. I ordered "Ballet 101: A Beginners Class" as well as "Ballet 201" The first video was a great as far as walking you through the moves, but the second video uses new moves and for some of them it doesn't even explain how to do these moves. Also there is no music, most ballet classes have music and it is the music you use to count out your moves. Also, the instructor starts to tell you what you are doing so you are watching to get the counts and preparing to do the exercise but instead of doing the exercise she switches sides, so you have to stop rewind and try again. The editing is horrible and may be part of the problem. All in all I recommend the David Howard ballet series, it is more like an actual class and it is easier to dance along with.
Movie Review: Beginners CELEBRATE!! Summary: 5 StarsI just couldn't find it in my nerves to take a "formal" ballet class. I rented this video series at the library, and used it so much I decided to buy it - mainly because when I went back, it was always checked out. I knew nothing about ballet, but now I feel comfortable enough to step into a beginning class, dressed properly and ready for some more personalized instruction. Truly, I don't mind the instructor counting because the music is something I never missed. I love the dances at the end, and recommend it for beginners.
