Certified instructor description: Two workouts performed by true NYC Ballet dancers — these are the actual routines they use to build their strong, flexible, well-sculpted bodies. Previously only available in their elite rehearsal studio, these workouts feature a variety of no-nonsense exercises. The first program starts with a series of stretches, then moves into “barrework” (actually done on the floor, like Pilates). It finishes with standing ballet toning to shape your legs and lower body. The second workout begins with a fluid, graceful warm-up. Then it’s classic floorwork, followed by standing moves focused on balance and leg conditioning. It all ends with an energetic cooldown of free-flowing, near-aerobic dance patterns. You get lots of ballet terminology, but each move is carefully explained so previous ballet experience is not required. Elegant production with dramatic lighting and photography. You also get 30 minutes of fascinating info about the life of a NYC ballerina. Both ballet workouts let you choose either inspiring classical or contemporary music. DVD includes a bonus 20-minute targeted toning workout. ©2001 & 2003. DVD has:

New York City Ballet Workouts |
| No flow to sequencing |
| I find the sequencing to be too choppy- I prefer to just flow from move to move. Also the verbal cues are not always in sync with the dancers, which is especially a problem when doing floor exercises. I liked the second DVD best, esp the floor exercises, even with the lack of sync between the narrator and the dancers. I found that I lost inches and gained great muscle tone after doing these DVD's 2-3 times per week, so the workout is effective. I also run and lift weights, this has really helped to balance my workouts. The terminology section on the second DVD was very helpful since I have never taken ballet. - posted by Diana on 6/12/2011 |

| Disappointed |
| If you're working out on a carpet, you're going to have a hard time wearing work-out shoes. Very slow paced -- too much time between exercises. I wish I had sent it back because I'm probably going to give this away. - posted by Nan on 2/27/2011 |

| SLOOOOOW |
| Very slow workout, good exercises but no flow to the series. Also the narrator sounds like Elmer Fudd - posted by Kathleen on 11/25/2010 |

| careful of this one! |
| This video is very hard to see when you get to the stretch section. Badly lit - you can hardly make out the body parts. The introduction is easy to see but if you have not had some ballet training I think you will be lost. - posted by Sara on 10/21/2010 |

| Bad cuing |
| This is a good ballet toning workout, however, the cuing is way off and very distracting. - posted by Nancy on 10/13/2010 |

| Very Classy!!! |
| I have had both New York City Ballet workouts in VHS format for years. I am also planning to purchase the DVD versions.
I don’t have to go into very much detail to give my opinion of these programs. They can be described as excellent, classy, and inspiring, and most of all effective.
I am wondering when they are going to make a 3rd program!!! - posted by Nancy on 7/8/2010 |

| Exercises are practical for my desire to remain flexible and develop strong muscles. This program complements gym and outdoor physical activities and this program is excellent for a rainy/snowy winter day. Five Stars. - posted by Marie on 6/10/2010 |

| Wanted to like this, but way too slow |
| I thought I would love this video, NY city ballet is the best & I've taken ballet most of my life. But this moves so slowly. I just want to get in there & do the workout, instead of waste time seeing the intro stuff - it's a waste. I wish there was a version for dancers & non dancers, I can't do a pas de chat turned in & just end up doing it how I have to.
Pricey double set, I hope I will warm up to this one in time since I held on to it too long to return it. - posted by Jackie on 4/5/2010 |

| My favorite work-out, by far |
| This is a great work-out, and it's also stunningly beautiful. These dancers are some of the best in the world, and there's lovely music to go along with the exercises. There are toning type exercises done on the floor, but there's also some actual dancing, which makes it more fun. - posted by Heather on 2/7/2010 |

| I love it! |
| Even though the cueing was quite confusing in the first tape, I still do it. I have to watch instead of listen. I hope the second one is less confusing but I don't have it yet. That said. It is the best workout I have found so far. My body feels like I went for a long swim. Tight and toned! It is like a relaxing combination of yoga, dance, and toning. - posted by Tara on 9/29/2009 |
