Getting my dancer body back

Hi There! I'm a 28 year old ex-dancer (I guess ex-dancer doesn't quite describe it, since it's an attribute that will always describe me!). I'm not currently dancing and have been in and out of classes since I graduated college with a BFA in dance.
My body is just not what it used to be and I'm trying to get it back to where it was. Unfortunately I can't take as many dance classes as I'd like just for the sheer expense. Any ex dancers out there know of any great at-home DVDs that helped them get the long lean figure of their dancing days?

I'm a beginner and have never had a dancer's body
, but I've been doing the Ballet Beautiful DVD's and it's really helped my dancing and posture and I noticed that my thighs are slimming up. Mary Helen Bowers created the workout and she's the ballerina who got Natalie Portman into shape for Black Swan. I really like them. 0 -
They are old ones, but the few the NYC Ballet put out about a decade (or more? I am getting old?) ago were fairly good for very basic conditioning. Have you thought about putting together a decent floor barre routine for yourself? I think you might have more luck with that than a video, given your background.0

Hop-Hop Abs and Yoga Booty Ballet has helped me.....I also have a few pilates and yoga dvds0 -
I'm a former dancer too, & am getting back into it slowly but surely. I just borrowed the Yoga Booty Ballet DVD series from a friend & am excited to try them! I have done salsa & ballet videos in the past, too. I'm also working on my flexibility again (slowly) through yoga. I'd love some more recommendations too.
