Editorial Reviews:

Dancers get their beautiful bodies by dancing, right? Well, there's more to it than that. They also do specific exercises and stretches to build their strength and keep their magnificent physiques injury-free. This book offers 50 of those exercises, ranging from routine abdominal movements to "center exercises" (which develop coordination and stability) to advanced leg movements (which, of course, give you legs like a dancer). The book even offers suggestions for music to play while you follow the training tips.

Summary: same
Comment: i said The Same is becaser you are if you azre young thasn OK Great, But for older OLDER in ballet you need propanocil and the BEST WORKOUT which i is I What I Do NOW
Customer Rating:
Summary: WOW!!
Comment: Need a great workout that you can do at home without the need for a DVD?? This is it. If you follow it and push yourself then you will benefit from this amazing book. It is not about jumping around, it is about stretching and using your body for stability and resistance. I am a dancer and found this book wonderful, I made my husband try it and he was a little confused with the terminology and that he has never put his body in some of the exercise poses before!!

Summary: "Excellent"
Comment: To everyone I wish could be more explicit but english is not my primary language. This book is Excellent.
Customer Rating:
Summary: slow going
Comment: This video is very pretty to watch.... once.
But the exercises are extremely slow, with very long transitions between the different sections.
You need to take more than an hour for a mediocre workout.
I did not feel like I was making any effort and certainly not getting a hard workout.
The bonus clips are nice though, if you want to get a glimpse into the life of NYC ballet dancers.

Summary: Photobook for ballet enthuthiasts
Comment: This book is wonderfully published -- it features glossy pages, beautiful, high resolution photos, and artfully placed typography.
That said, this is not any kind of book for someone looking for a real workout. If you're genuinely interested in ballet, and beautifully sculpted bodies, this book is for you. If you're looking for some new ideas to switch up your workout routine, you may want to pass.
