This video was created by Peter Martins, Ballet Master of the New York City Ballet, for use by the public as a fitness workout. The program consists of 50 stretches and exercises that are designed to develop the grace and flexibility of a dancer. The exercises combine stretching with strengthening to improve body tone and stamina. The student using this method will develop better posture and cardiovascular stamina. The exercises are said to enhance body self-awareness and poise. The exercises are set to classical music.

Do not imagine yourself gracefully dancing around the room.by WorkoutJulie

January 25, 2009: This workout is best for toning. It is very slow. For a long time you are on the floor stretching your legs. It probably is best to get a "dancer body," but there is not really any dancing in it. It's all about exercises ballet dancers do. I think it's good to do to relieve stress, improve posture and leg strength. But it is definitely not my most fun workout, and not one I have used most.

Great For Former Dancers!by earlessvangogh

December 13, 2008: My aunt is a professional ballerina and I too danced while growing up. A great deal of what is presented here are things that professional ballet dancers do. If you have danced before you will find it easy to get the moves down straight away. It is very relaxing, and slow-paced. You will see excellent results if you do this more than three times a week. It is wonderful for creating a lean and toned look to your legs. I also found my posture improved immensely. There are a few mistakes in the dvd. I am surprised they didn't have it properly edited or narrated considering the source, however their 2nd DVD that was relesaed is much improved.

I Also Recommend: 10 Minute Solution: Dance it off and Tone it Up!, The New York City Ballet Workout, Vol. 2.
