The Finis Jhung Ballet Technique: Art of Pointwork, Level 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This DVD is an excellent aide for beginning students of pointe, regardless of age.It begins with some easy stretches that provide a safe warm-up for the feet and ankles, and then quickly moves to a series of plies and releves, which emphasize the importance of smooth rollingfoot movements, and correctly positioning the entire body for balance.As the video proceeds, the exercises grow progressively more challenging, demanding increased speed, coordination, and foot muscle strength.This DVD includes both barrework and center floor work, and I found its explanations and illustrations to be extremely helpful.
