Summary: Pretty good . . .
Review: This wasn't as hard a workout as I was looking for, nor was there any dance, but it's good to work on coordination and balance (which I am in dire need of). People who don't stretch or exercise will probably have a hard time at first but nobody should count on being as limber as the dancers on screen. It might also be hard to do some of the moves in first position rather than standing normally. You start wondering when the exercises are going to end but after the first time watching this video, it goes a little faster. You come away from it feeling graceful and a lot better, but you should probably try to do this every day if possible.

Summary: Everything you need in a workout!
Review: NYC Ballet has strength training, muscle work, and aerobics all combined with ab work and exercises that improve your posture. It doesn't feel like a workout, either, but a graceful activity that I don't have to drag myself out of bed to do...I jump right out and into the video! No workout routine should depend on just one video or type of exercise, so I also do Pilates and bike, but the NYC Ballet video is definitley a staple in my collection!

Summary: Addicted to NYC Ballet Workout
Review: This video is fantastic. I bought it almost a year ago and I still enjoy doing it. Rather than leaving me exhausted, I am completely refreshed and inspired by the end. This video gave me the courage to go to adult ballet classes, and feel prepared for them. The music and narrator are very soothing. I highly reccomend it.

Summary: Don't Expect Any Dancing
Review: I bought this video because I wanted a fun, new way to get in shape. I have also taken ballet forever and thought I might learn something from the pros. Nope. There is one tiny dance section (if you can call it that), and the rest is the dancers going through very slow, very boring stretches. I did not break a sweat or even have tired muscles afterward. The only thing I really liked about this video were the dancer profiles at the end, but I didn't buy this tape to see the E! True Hollywood Stories.

Summary: A Thorough Workout!!
Review: Having seen and done almost every workout tape available to mankind, I was pleasantly surprised by the NYC Ballet Workout tape. I used to take jazz dance class and many of the moves were familiar to me. They are simple and really give you a good workout. I sweat more than I did doing 30 minutes on a stationary bicycle. After the workout, which goes by really fast, I felt good that I actually stuck to it to the end and I didn't feel worn down and beat and I am looking forward to doing it again! This tape brought back very happy memories of my dance classes and it was probably the best investment I've made in a workout tape in a VERY long time.

Summary: Awsome tape!!
Review: as an amatuer ballet dancer, i needed to firm up my stomach. a lot of my dancer friends recommended this tape. the exercises really helped me firm up and helped me develope more flexibility. although the exercises are made mostly for ballet dancers, they are easy enough for anyone to follow.

Review: I had expected an actual ballet barre workout---the technique was lacking the cueing did not match the action.the photography was beautiful! The bodies of the dancers were inspiring!

Summary: Beautiful and great for strength
Review: It even made me sweat a little. However I was surprised when I woke up the next day and my inner thighs hurt Hurah! This video is really beautiful and the clasical music is perfectly timed to the moves I concentrate so much on the grace of it I forget I'm getting excersize. The only thing I wish is that they went through all the positions and transitions. Oh well it's not a class it's a workout

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This is a fabulous workout. I took ballet classes as a child and this is a perfect way for adults to get back into the ballet routine in the comforts of their own home. The moves can be done effectively on any surface, including carpet. The workout leaves you feeling toned and relaxed at the same time. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Not Ballet for Beginnners
Review: I agree with the online reviewer C. Makulinski from Toledo, OH. I wish I had heeded her advice. I am a lifelong fan of ballet, especially the New York City Ballet and thought this workout would be just what i needed as i was looking for something to balance yoga classes with. I had taken adult ballet classes just two years ago in college but was not prepared for how much actual background you need to follow many of the excercises. Poor editing left me confused while watching as to whose right or left I should be following. Unfortunately, I was left by the end, on my couch, watching and admiring these limber dancers. Realized how rusty I am. This is a beautiful and effective workout but not for those with limited or no ballet technique. You do need to know the difference between a plie and degage.
