Ballet @ Home

Anyone do ballet at their home for a workout?

If you do, do you start with barre or just do floor exercises? Do you use a DVD or just pretty much wing a class on your own?

TIA! :flowerforyou:

    I started with Mary Helen Bowers Ballet Beautiful. It's fun and light to start.
  • I brought the New York City Ballet Company ballet DVD and I do it every so often. It works my back and shoulders great. Plus it's just fun to dance around my living room like I'm a real ballerina on stage. LOL.

    The thing I've found about the DVD's at home is that I eventually get bored. I have to mix it up. I just got a couple more DVD's with mainly barre exercise and even a routine at the end, lol. Fun stuff!
