Description
"Ballet 201, Beyond the Basics" is an informative class that picks up right where "Ballet 101, A Beginner's Class" leaves off. Adults and children, who already know the basics of ballet, start with stretching and warm-up. They are then guided through a quick review of the barre basics, and lead right into the instruction and demonstration of more advanced moves off of the barre. The instruction is presented without music accompaniment, and the class ends with a grand dance finale to music, all incorporating what's been taught. It's a taste of the arts wrapped up in a healthy workout that is specifically designed for beginners. It is recommended that you use "Ballet 101, A Beginner's Class" as a prerequisite to this video, unless you have some prior knowledge of ballet.

"Ballet 201" is an easy-to-follow, hands-on video that is based upon the syllabus of major a University of California dance program, and is both endorsed and recommended by private instructors. Ballet terms & definitions that assist dancers can be printed from the abridgeclub.com site.

This is perfect for my daughter!.......2005-12-19

It was so easy to use this series. I am not exactly in shape for a public class, and just wanted to explore dancing ballet without getting embarrassed. I have both DVDs, and they each have something special to offer to those of us with no experience.

Great Class !.......2005-11-25

If you've never danced, I think you need the first DVD, because in that one, the instructor takes the time to actually teach the technique. Whereas in this one, she takes you through the moves, but expects you to know the technique. It is obvious that you can't just throw someone into ballet. I love this series, especially the DVD chapter breaks!

Waste of money.......2005-10-01

This is bascially the same production was Ballet 101, just edited and with a few new moves. Don't waste your money. Stick with Ballet 101 to learn the basic positions.
