Ballet Boot Camp 2

A challenging and fun sequence of dancers' toning exercises followed by fluid dance patterns. Motivated by the classical orchestral soundtrack, you'll feel like you're an aspiring dancer in a "real" ballet training session. To help you focus, Jessica Sherwood breaks the toning into specific section(e.g. "balance," "abs," "center barre-work"). Then, she carefully - but quickly - demos each move one-on-one before moving into the full class workout. The ending cardio segment features a non-stop series of graceful, flowing ballet movements. Throughout, the terminology and attitude is pure ballet ("now we'll add a weight transfer..."). Music by Tchaikovsky, Beethoven and Bach. Note: Different exercises, a little less "artsy" and slightly more intense than the original "BalletBootCamp." ©2002. (87 min.). For a slightly less intense workout with different exercises, see the original BalletBootCamp  more

Great Workout

I like this video for the workout. You are not going to become a ballerina by doing the workout. If you want to learn classical ballet, take a class. This is a traditional workout video. The majority of the workout involves doing floor exercises were you are going to work your abs, arms, back...

Nice Workout. Plain and Simple.

This DVD is a good workout. It is a basic background and very plain and simple. Don't let that stop you from trying it. The exercises are effective and you will gain strength in your legs and core. You will begin to sculpt your legs and arms. I keep it in my rotation and I have many many...

A waste of money - do not buy!

Having taken ballet classes for eight years, I was not at all impressed by this DVD. The production quality is poor, there is very little barre work and the instruction is brief. Much of the DVD is in fact movements which aren't related to ballet. I attempted to follow this DVD one time and...

Excellent

Given the great reviews of this so far, it's hard to imagine that these don't do this DVD justice. Jessica Sherwood is effortlessly elegant in her movement and she is clear in her instruction. She's also lovely- not too enthusiastic nor too rigid- just very natural and engaging. This DVD in...

The best ballet workout ever!

This is the best ballet workout ever! I also love the first Ballet Boot Camp. I have tried NYC Ballet workouts 1 & 2, Balletone and Center Moves, all of Stephanie Herman's DVDs, Bar Method, Cardio Barre, Melissa Lowe's three ballet DVDs, and other various ballet inspired videos and DVDs. This...

Great workout

I just did this workout yesterday. I loved it. She works every part of your body. I haven't had this much fun with a workout in awhile. Plus it makes you feel graceful. I imagine sticking to this will yield great results. Definitely buy it!!!

Just as good as a class

Wonderful for people with prior ballet classes. Probably not for the beginner unless you are really interested in learning ballet moves.

one of the better ballet workouts.
