Certified instructor description: A challenging and fun sequence of dancers’ toning exercises followed by fluid dance patterns. Motivated by the classical orchestral soundtrack, you’ll feel like you’re an aspiring dancer in a “real” ballet training session. To help you focus, Jessica Sherwood breaks the toning into specific sections (e.g. “balance,” “abs,” “centre barrework”). Then, she carefully — but quickly — demos each move one-on-one before moving into the full class workout. The ending cardio segment features a non-stop series of graceful, flowing ballet movements. Throughout, the terminology and attitude is pure ballet (“now we’ll add a weight transfer…”). Music by Tchaikovsky, Beethoven and Bach. Note: Different exercises, a little less “artsy” and slightly more intense than the original “BalletBootCamp.” ©2002. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Ballet Boot Camp Volume 2
Great workout!
This was a wonderful, interesting, entertaining and excellent work out! It was just as effective as a cardio interval weight work out. It is a valuable way to get a great work out that is different than my usual workouts but just as intense. I do it on my "easy" day, and one can use light weights with it, but I enjoy the variety and it is not that taxing on my muscles so I can still go back to my cardio interval weight videos the next day. I am 60 years old but still have lots of energy to exercise every day. Collage Video has helped me stay on track and this workout is a refreshing change! I wholeheartedly recommend it! - posted by Sharon on 3/1/2012

Love this dvd!
Great dvd-- great instructor, good variety, and a challenging workout. Production quality, as mentioned, is low, but it didn't bother me at all-- makes it feel like an actual NY class. Seems like the workout could be adapted to fit a wide variety of fitness levels. Very happy with this purchase. - posted by Jo on 4/22/2011

for those who really want to have a ballet workout over all
excellent video. The teacher is a professional in ballet and she knows what she is doing. - posted by Virginia on 3/3/2011

Ballet Exercises and Choreography that Work
This workout, like the original Ballet Boot Camp, is a ballet class taught by an expert instructor. The exercises tone the body from head to toe (literally) and the choreography is challenging but not too difficult. It is obvious that the instructor knows her stuff, yet, she teaches in a calm and gentle manner that actually adds to the workout experience. - posted by Mary on 9/24/2010

exactly what I was looking for
I loved this DVD. The exercises are exactly what I was looking for and the people are very decent folks. The music is very pleasant and easy listening so I can concentrate on the exercise. I am 76 years old and in better shape than any of our friends. Nancy - posted by Nancy on 4/22/2010

Ballet Boot Camp II- not enough ballet
There is too little barre work/warm up before the centre work. I wanna sweat; I wanna ballet workout; I want good music. The floor exercises for muscle toning are good, but I feel lacking after this video. I would only recommend it to someone who has little or no ballet experience.The NYC Ballet Workwouts are a bit better, but still not enough fully-rounded barre work. - posted by Ellen on 3/19/2010

Delightful
Ok, the production value could be better..., but it IS very well chapetered! But, I completely enjoyed this! I do tend to like ballet workouts in general, though. I think anyone who likes ballet barre work and gentle, controlled toning would enjoy it as well. It was nice to do a truly ballet workout that was less dated than Melissa's! The instruction is nice, and the moves are doable for a beginner. Do them with control and you will feel them. It IS a non-traditional workout, so "bootcamp" in the title is a bit of a misnomer; however, though I bought it strictly for toning, my HR elevated more than expected. I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt time moved very swiftly. If you are a fan of Melissa's old workouts or the NYC's, you will probably enjoy this. It's done completely without a barre, and I was pleasantly surprised that the short cardio segment did not require as much space as I had feared. - posted by Laura on 9/24/2008

Really Great DVD
Firstly - the classical music is great - it's hard to find a dvd that has music that inspires. The teacher is also pleasant and easy to follow. She covers every part of the body and the exercises are in sections so you can do all or choose which part you'd like to do. Lastly, if you've not had any ballet training it might be hard to follow - but go to a class then use this for the in between times. Otherwise - if you know a little ballet - it's one of the best tapes around. - posted by Sally on 3/14/2008

Too easy
I am not a ballet person and can't do choreagraphy worth a darn so I can't do the end of this workout but when I do the first 45 minutes or so I get bored. It is too easy. This is supposed to be a 'boot camp' video but the instructor does not press anyone and the moves are too easy. The stretching in the beginning is very good though. All in all, a disapointment. - posted by Sylvie on 4/7/2006

I love this ballet workout!
I love BalletBootCamp II! I do this DVD in combination with the first BalletBootCamp three times a week. My body has become lean, smooth, strong and defined. - posted by on 3/28/2006

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning

Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
