Certified instructor description: An elegant, flowing workout that blends muscle strengthening with muscle stretching to create a true “dancers’ body.” Jennifer’s non-technical cuing focuses on alignment and technique; she makes it doable, effective and fun. Each of the three standing segments has a specific emphasis: legs, core and balance. They often combine tough legs and buttocks exercises with “softer” arm motions (e.g. back-and-forth pliés with fifth position arms). The floorwork section includes Pilates and “floor barrework” (barrework done on the floor). It all ends with a very soothing dancers’ stretch. Requires 1 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2009. DVD has:
Chapter menus.

| I like this workout only if I do the whole hour. I don't feel that I'm getting enough of a workout if I only do one or two segments. Definitely not an intermediate/advanced, intermediate at the most. - posted by natalie on 4/19/2012 |

| Fixing my feet!!! |
| I just love this workout! I have worked out my entire adult life - mostly light weightlifting and yoga - in the interest of pain management. Sure, I liked to be in shape too, but pain was what drove me. I got my food sensitivities sorted out a couple of years ago, and don't have pain to drive me now. I tried this workout because I was looking for something new to spark an interest as I just couldn't get motivated without pain or weight issues. This workout is so much fun! It also challenges me in new ways. Most surprisingly my feet are getting so much healthier. Jennifer includes the exercising of the feet that I guess is common in ballet, but not addressed so much in other fitness realms. I've had problems with my feet from wearing shoes too small and very high heels when I was much younger. I have worn nothing but pretty much Birkenstocks for over 15 years. After several times doing this workout, I was able to go shopping for some high heels. (My husband is thrilled.)
Other things I like about the workout are the standing abs and lengthening exercises, the choreography is interesting but not difficult (just one move I had to try a couple of times to feel like I got it), the time given to the stretches, learning some ballet terms, and just that it's fun. Lots of pliés with variations and balancing. I just think it's very fresh and different. I haven't done any other ballet workouts, but I would say if you think you'd like this video, you probably will. It's well-made and cued. Jennifer is very casual and friendly, without being patronizing.
Maybe noteworthy to say that this workout will not replace weight-lifting, but does have some comfortably challenging strength moves with body weight. If you need to really feel pushed, this may not be the one for you, but I find it to be a very satisfying workout. If you are really considering it, I'd say to give it a try. Collage will always let you return it if it's not enough for you. :) - posted by Diana on 9/4/2011 |

| Love this workout! |
| Jennifer Galardi has created a lovely series of flowing movements that really tone the muscles. This dvd combines the best of ballet, pilates, and yoga. The cuing is excellent, the exercises progress at a good pace and there are several levels of difficulty to choose from. This is a fantastic full body program. - posted by Sandra on 6/12/2011 |

| energizing workout! |
| Ballet Body is just as it promises - a fantastic blend of classical ballet, pilates, and yoga. Fast paced dance moves that are fairly easy to follow and long held yoga poses that encourage deep stretch and relaxation. - posted by Sandra on 4/27/2011 |
