    Do you want a fitness program that builds long, lithe muscles and graceful, healthy posture? In The Ballet Workout, a program with longstanding popularity, instructor Melissa Lowe presents two separate workouts: one for beginners and one for dancers with previous experience. Designed to boost flexibility, strength, and balance, this workout could also serve as a basic introduction to the art of ballet. Also check out The Ballet Workout II. ~ Sarah Welsh, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide

    February 18, 2005: Melissa Lowe is a great instructor that will help you shape and tone your entire body. I have little ballet experience, but I enjoy it anyway. I really enjoy the center work that includes jumping and balancing exercises. I like the way you go from balancing to large jumps. All who want to get in shape should try it. Also, it is now available on DVD.

    March 16, 2004: This is a wonderful classical ballet workout, with piano like you would hear in the studio. Both the beginner and intermediate levels include floor stretches, barre work, then center work (without barre). This is not an aerobic workout, but it is a fabulous way to work both strength and flexibility. With ballet you are going to use all your muscles, including ones you didn't know you had. If you've had no or little ballet exposure, it will take a little time to learn the routines but once you do it pays off. During the exercises, the instructor provides many useful tips on form that will help you get a better workout, and are especially helpful to someone who hasn't had prior training. I think the workout is timeless, and a great find for someone who enjoys the structure of classic ballet instruction. I wish the title was available on DVD!
