Holistic Ballet Class DVD: Intermediate Level

I can't thank Holistic Ballet enough for producing this series of DVDs. I bought them intending to return to ballet (after many years) for cross-training for other dance work. At the moment I don't have the time to attend ballet classes in person, and they are best purchases I have made recently. I'd never practiced dance through video classes so I didn't know what to expect, but the classes are clear, enjoyable, calm and fun, and easy to do even if you have a tiny amount of space at home like I do! The progression through difficulty levels is also very clear, and there's a pointe class on each DVD which takes into account the difficulty level of the DVD as a whole. From my perspective as a returning student who did ballet at an advanced level, these DVDs are perfect, but they start right at basics so they'd be ideal for a newcomer to ballet looking for an introduction they can take at their own pace too. My long-buried passion for ballet has been reignited!

Excellent dvds. I have noticed a big improvement in my technique and strength. They have also helped my confidence and focus.I love the fact that pointe work is also added. I am able to practice a lot at home as I don't always have time to go to classes. I have definitely noticed a difference in my performance when I go to ballet classes and also in other dance classes.Lorraine

This DVD is a great follow-on to the Beginners Level. I find it challenging but not overwhelmingly so. There is plenty of room for working on the previous level's exercises, and you don't feel discouraged in taking your ballet practice further. I think these DVDs are the best on the market with regard to a Ballet Class workout at home. I would highly recommend it.

Really happy with the focus on technique and development from beginner dvd. I like that it includes warm up and pointe work too

I bought this for my daughter mainly to practise on pointe. I was not surprised to find a DVD with a section for Pointe shoes. It is for Christmas so I don't know what she thinks of it yet. When she has tried it I will post another review.
