The Ballet Workout Vol. 2: Strength and Conditioning (1991) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Melissa Lowe tops herself with this sequel workout tape which emphasises several major exercises, and all of the positions. However, this tape also has a downfall, Ms. Lowe doesn't explain the steps as well as she did in the first video. But, if you are wanting to start ballet or need a guide to practice at home, I recommend her to everyone!

Live at Broadway Dance Center: "Takes" on Theatre Dance for All Levels (Andy Blankenbuehler) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok, so when it says "all levels" it doesn't include people who have no dance experience. I guess that should be obvious since this is from a professional dance school in New York, but I just thought I'd warn off anyone who knows nothing about dance and just wants an exercise DVD. There's no warm-up, just a preview of the dance, and then a break down of the movements. I had to hit pause and advance on the slowest speed to get some of the steps, and it had taken me a few weeks to get the first twenty seconds down. It's really fun, even though I've no idea what I'm doing.
