Ballet Boot Camp

DESCRIPTION: Tough muscle-toning combined with ballet-oriented cardio ... all done to a stirring orchestral soundtrack. From basic sit ups and push-ups to elegant chassés and arabesques, you're sure to develop a lean, strong dancer's body (as you experience the joy and energy of classical ballet). The ending aerobics is especially fun - a graceful, flowing medley of simple movement phrases. Jessica Sherwood, from New York's Crunch Gym, blends authentic dancers' training techniques with down-to-earth teaching ("this doesn't have to be perfect ..."). A very "artistic," stylish production and fabulous, motivating music by Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Strauss and Bach. No equipment needed. ©2000. (65 min.). For a slightly more intense workout with different exercises, see BalletBootCamp II. more

Almost like dance class!

This is the nearest I have come to finding anything that resembles a Ballet class. The exception is that the barre exercises are done on the floor, but following that is center work. Terrific video. Note do not expect to all ways get a cardio workout from Ballet unless you are in Swan Lake or...

Great Workout

It was like stepping into one of my old dance classes. I haven't had this much fun working out in years.
