Title: Only for high-level dancers
Product review: I have taken ballet classes off & on my whole life, so I'm familiar with classical ballet positions and terms and was excited about this DVD. But this DVD isn't ballet and there isn't any explanation or demonstration of the non-ballet moves. The end result is a workout DVD that you can't follow and can't do properly unless you are already familiar with all of the moves that Stephanie Herman has borrowed from other disciplines.In the first 20 minutes, Stephanie Herman mixes together classical ballet steps, modern ballet steps and stuff she's apparently made up -- all with absolutely no guidance on technique. You don't have to know much about ballet to know that without proper technique you can injure yourself quickly and badly.Although she does a good job reminding you about alignment and breathing, unless you are a dancer who is experienced enough to analyze the moves yourself and figure out the proper technique, I would stay away from this workout.
