I have to start out by saying that I’m not normally a ballet fan or have done ballet since I was 4 or 5, but I wanted to try this to mix up my current routine and use different muscles for some cross training. I am really happy with how great this workout is.
It’s an intense lower body workout with ballet inspired moves. Because you work deep into muscles, it’s designed to help you get that long lean body look that ballet dancers have. Elise is a good instructor with great cuing so you know what to do next at all times. I love the outdoor setting (instead of the inside of a studio for a change); it’s great to do a workout that has been done outside to make you feel like it’s Summer all year round and motivate you that little bit more.
I never thought this would be a workout that would be for me, but it’s very enjoyable and fun and you feel the next day all those muscles you’ve used and I can’t wait to see the results from this. I love it.

For someone that has tried just about every home workout genre out there. This DVD finally offers something that is refreshingly new to my living room! This workout is ideal for those who have danced for years and people that have never even tried on a pair of ballet slippers. The DVD is simple to pick up, and challanging to get through. The filming is elegant and the instruction is far from the cheesy power workout “motivation” that irritate me so much. After you’ve completed this workout, you feel like you’ve, not only toned up, but also learned a few things! For someone that has grown tired of the home workout video, this couldn’t have come at a better time!

I didn’t really know what to expect when I tried this dvd. I am an intermediate/advanced level, but I knew that it would be challenging, as I have never tried ballet before. Even so, this was a very pleasant, yet rigorous workout. I definitly feel like I worked out and I also broke a sweat. I know that this workout will contribute to toning and slimming my legs, which is an area I personally would like to improve, as well as the rest of my body. The ab section incorporates many pilates type exercises to tone and tighten the midsection. Even though I regularily do pilates, I really felt my abs more than I expected. The setting was beautiful and the instruction was very pleasant and relaxing without causing you to lose focus to exert yourself. I enjoyed this workout, thought it was effective and enjoyable. Anyone who is involved in dance or who wants to maintain or obtain a long lean physique will enjoy this workout.

After going through this video, it is exactly what I have been looking for (and the price was so good! At $8 it is a bargain, the video and sound quality is much, much more than a $8 workout dvd to me). I wanted something challenging that would be a good filler for days when I can’t get to the gym. It’s going to become much more than that because it is that good.
Likes:
>The scenery is wonderful as other reviewers have said.
>The use of a chair and not a barre – when she switches to the other side to work the other leg, she physically moves the chair to the other side. In other ballet videos where they’ve used a barre, usually I have to pause the tape because I can’t quite get my chair moved around fast enough to start working the other side (they just turn around and start doing the exercises; if I turn around I’m no longer facing the TV
).
>The fact that the voice cueing is done as a voice over, instead of by the person doing the exercises, this makes it VERY easy to follow
>Recognition all along the way that not everyone is as flexible – and continuous encouragement that with time flexibility will come
Overall, it is an excellent dvd and I’m glad I bought it.

My legs were SHAKING after completing this workout and I’ve been doing the NYC Ballet workouts 1 and 2 for over a year plus 2 ballet classes once a week and an hour of cardio on the treadmill 5 days a week. This is a great workout and she makes you feel like a beautiful ballet dancer no matter your skill level. I can’t wait to keep doing this workout– I want to see what I look like in a month!!
Tip— the only chair I had on hand wasn’t tall enough or sturdy enough for this workout. I recommend a tall chair that doesn’t fold!
