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

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you don't have any ballet training, this video probably isn't for you.If you do, though, it's a good follow-up to the first Ballet Workout.The exercises are a little more elaborate and faster-paced -- also more engaging -- than in the Workout I.There is more emphasis on balance, and a greater variety of steps.M. Lowe does not explain or demonstrate the exercises in advance, which is what would make this tape frustrating for a beginner.(But it would get pretty boring listening to her explain them every single time you ran through the tape, which is why I think she leaves out the explanations.The first few times through, I just watched each exercise and then rewound.)The pink and blue leotards are indeed headache-inducing, as someone else commented.Overall, though, it's a good ballet class for intermediate or advanced dancers, with a good model to follow.
