Editorial Reviews

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 section(e.g. "balance," "abs," "center barre-work"). 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. (87 min.). For a slightly less intense workout with different exercises, see the original BalletBootCamp

5.0 out of 5 stars The best ballet workout ever!, May 9, 2006

This review is from: Ballet Boot Camp 2 (DVD)

This is the best ballet workout ever! I also love the first Ballet Boot Camp. I have tried NYC Ballet workouts 1 & 2, Balletone and Center Moves, all of Stephanie Herman's DVDs, Bar Method, Cardio Barre, Melissa Lowe's three ballet DVDs, and other various ballet inspired videos and DVDs. This outdoes them all. It definitely is worth ever penny. I have lost 215 pounds and reshaped my bod with this. I give it a thousand stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the better ballet workouts., August 28, 2005

This review is from: Ballet Boot Camp 2 (DVD)

Love this one!!!!! Well, as much as one can love a workout DVD. I surely own enough of them, mostly collecting dust. I actually use this DVD when I cant get to class.
I have about 30 years of ballet class experience and am still able to find a challenge each time while enjoying myself. My daughter, who doesn't take ballet, bought this DVD for herself, and loves it.. (she made an attempt to swipe mine...)

This review is from: Ballet Boot Camp 2 (DVD)

Given the great reviews of this so far, it's hard to imagine that these don't do this DVD justice. Jessica Sherwood is effortlessly elegant in her movement and she is clear in her instruction. She's also lovely- not too enthusiastic nor too rigid- just very natural and engaging. This DVD in its entirety feels like a ballet class and a very unpretentious class at that. There are very good exercises and basic ballet, so it's enjoyable and gives a thorough conditioning for the entire body. As a basis for comparison, I think Ballet Boot Camp 2 is more thorough and contains more ballet than NYC Ballet II (I really like this DVD too but it feels more like isolated movements instead of ballet). I also prefer the choreography and appreciate the better instruction and inclusion of the arms in Ballet Boot Camp 2 which I was not so impressed with in NYC Ballet II.
