Hi there,
I am considering purchasing DVDs and/or subscribe to site for ballet workouts. Ballet Beautiful has both online and DVDs...New York Ballet looks good too. While browsing i see that there are similar products.
Any recommendations/experience to share?
thank you

Bumping for later. Never knew this existed! I did ballet as a kid and I loved it, so would be great to do a sort of exercise form of it.0

Barre3 looks great, I've only had a look at their trial clips (about 3 minutes long) but they really utilise ballet principles, whilst others seem to be very loosely based on dancing, if at all. Simply standing next to, or touching, a barre does not make it ballet!
Best of luck.0 -
I did these last year when I was recovering from surgery. I don't know how they stand up for real dancers, but I found them relaxing, beautiful and not hard.

edit to add: I should mention, for those who don't want to follow the link, that I'm talking about New York City Ballet Complete Workout. Youtube has a few, and they're lovely.0 -
Thanks! New York City is definitely on my list. Ballet Beautiful offers interactive classes (literally, webcam with the teacher) and the owner is from NYC ballet. I am not ready to commit to that yet...too many workouts already. NYC workout is beautfiful BTW, love what I have seen on youtube so far.0
