VHS Movie Reviews of New York City Ballet Workout
Movie Review: ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BALLET WORKOUT!
Summary: 5 Stars
This ballet workout is wonderful. I feel like I'm taking ballet classes again! Absolute beginners may find it a little bit difficult at first or confusing because you need to learn the basics from a teacher who can see you and correct you. It's all about correct posture in ballet...but for me it's perfect. I have taken ballet classes on and off since I was a child. I love this workout because you can't get bored with it. It's very artistic and the music is just wonderful. You can choose classical music or contemporary music. I personally enjoy them both! VERY VERY HAPPY WITH THIS!:)Movie Review: Incredible!
Summary: 5 Stars
Worth every penny! I use it personally as often as I can. As a dance instructor I even took a lot of the workouts and incorporated them into my own warm-up.Movie Review: Challenging but rewarding once you get it
Summary: 5 Stars
This work out takes a little bit of concentration initially since the narration doesn't always keep up with the action, but once you do it a few times and know where it's headed there are no problems. The work out is very effective. It is not difficult but it is precise.Movie Review: excellent and fun dvd
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this video a couple of weeks ago, and it's amazing. It works out every single muscle and it's fun to do. I'm not a dancer anymore, although I was about ten years ago....so I understand the moves a little better than your average. But my husband has been doing the video with me, and he's having a great time too with no dance experience at all. Highly recommend this video to anyone. You can spend thousands on gym equipment you'll never use...or spend 10$ and get this.Movie Review: Not bad, but I found a video that is much more alive...
Summary: 4 Stars
After using the NYC Ballet workout for a while it just seemed redundant. So I searched on the internet and bought the best workout I have found to date. It's called BalletSport and it is designed by a dancer that was with Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre. It is amazing. It is not on Amazon but I bought it on their website.
Summary of New York City Ballet Workout
Do you envy ballet dancers their long, lean bodies and graceful, elegant movements? This beautifully produced exercise video was developed by Peter Martins and the New York City Ballet with the New York Sports Club. First you watch the rippling muscles of four gorgeous ballet dancers (two men and two women) performing warm-up moves to classical ballet music. Martins uses ballet terminology in his cuing and no technique is taught, so it's look-and-follow if you have no previous ballet training. Next you get down on a mat for slow lower-body stretches. A difficult abdominal series is next, followed by "floor barre" exercises to tone the thighs and buttocks while still using the abdominals. After introducing moves to strengthen the back and upper body, Martins runs through a series of standing exercise segments using various ballet movements to strengthen the legs and postural muscles. The workout is divided into 17 short sections, which may give it a disjointed feeling if you're used to more continuity. At the end is a bonus sequence with profiles of the four performers, all dancers with the New York City Ballet. We get to watch them performing, practicing, and eating. One dancer makes the point that ballet is very athletic, but because it's supposed to look ethereal, the hard work stays hidden from the audience. If you love ballet (even just watching it), you'll enjoy this workout. (By the way, Sarah Jessica Parker introduces the video but does not have any other role in it.) --Joan PriceFitness Video
