Certified instructor description: Three progressively more intense workouts, each features a flowing, elegant series of lower-body exercises. They’re designed to give you the sleek, strong, flexible physique of a ballerina. It’s a “real” dancers’ workout. The movements emphasize grace and proper form while the cuing is precise and ballet specific (e.g. “first position,” “arabesque,” “port de bras”). But it’s never intimidating; Jennifer’s cuing is easy to understand (e.g. “lift your arms like you’re pushing the ceiling away”). The first workout is beginner-level; it features basic moves and lots of instruction. The next two programs are begin/inter and intermediate; they use faster, deeper and longer variations. ©2008.

| Not what I expected. |
| As a beginner to this sort of work out, I expected more of an explanation of the movements before jumping right into each move. - posted by Kay on 12/18/2010 |

| Very Satisfied |
| I ordered a tape from Collage, and there was a problem with it. I returned it and within days, they had shipped me a new one plus a pre-paid return envelope. Plus a catalog. All in all, I found Collage to be efficient and timely. I would definitely order from them again. I can't rate the video itself yet - I have been unable to use it yet. - posted by Shay on 6/19/2010 |

| Jennifer Kries New Body Ballet |
| As a former dancer, I enjoyed the center barre Ms. Kries gives in this video. It is great to have a a real dance class option for my workout routine. - posted by Melissa on 6/10/2010 |

| Beautiful Workout |
| This workout has very graceful moves and really made me feel like a real dancer. The first two workouts were exactly the same but the third one included the addition of developes, which are beautiful moves that make me feel like a real ballet dancer. The workouts are very short, so I just do a quick cardio workout or go for a short walk to warm up. But I love the fact that she included fondues and developes in the workout, since they are my favorite ballet moves and they make the workout feel more like a dance instead of a workout. - posted by Corenne on 9/30/2009 |

| Well Done |
| I really enjoyed this video. I didn't mind that all three workouts were very similar because I never went beyond the beginner level. I consider myself an intermediate exerciser, but found the beginning level quite challenging enough for my taste. Although the emphasis is listed as lower body, I found my arms got more defined too. Having to hold them up in good form for so long is more challenging than it looks! I thought the instructor cued very well (even when the camera wasn't in the right place, I had no problems following) and I really like her attitude. I'll definitely be searching out more Jennifer Kries videos. - posted by Sara on 6/15/2009 |

| New Body Ballet - Beautiful workout |
| I really liked this workout. I loved the set and the music and I enjoy listening to Jennifer's instruction. I found the moves to be challenging and I look forward to trying to perfect the various sequences. There were a couple of things that bugged me though and they were that sometimes the camera was not shooting the right body part. In ballet, as I have come to find out, many times the upper body remains static while the lower body is working. There were several times when the camera was just on the upper body when the participants were doing nothing but holding there arms shoulder level. The camera should have been on the lower body or even showing the total body as the cast was moving through the different leg positions. Also the intermediate and advance workouts are exactly the same except for the last minute of the advance workout. Here Jennifer tells you that in the advance sections you should be kicking your legs higher and have more precise control over the moves. All in all, I think this is a good workout and I would love to see Jennifer come out with a New Body Ballet 2 that has a similar vibe. I look forward to doing this workout again and trying to master the moves. - posted by saundra on 4/6/2009 |

| pretty good |
| I am a former dancer and still consider myself intermediate in ballet. I just got this video last week. what I like about it is the flow of it. It's smooth and graceful and makes me feel like I'm back in ballet class again. the instruction was great. but, as a previous reviewer said, I don't like how all 3 workouts are basically the same. you really can't tell based on the preview and I think if I had known they were the same, I probably wouldn't have bought it. BUT, they are good workouts and I do plan to keep the video. I'll just save it for my light days. - posted by cresa on 3/2/2009 |

| So-So |
| I thought the workout was good. I enjoyed the movements and sequencing, though they were not particularly difficult. What I did not care for was that each section was exactly the same. I think if you have three workouts, each one should be different even while progressing in difficulty. - posted by Shelley on 8/8/2008 |
