Review
Excellent Introduction To Partnering By Great Professionals!, July 2, 2006 Dmitri Roudnev is a wonderful ballet teacher and dancer(formerly of the Bolshoi) and a great credit to the ballet community, much to the benefit of the Chicago area. This video gives you much of the basic ideas on partnering for reference as an adjunct to partnering classes. Tips are given for both the male and female dancer. Mr. Roudnev is very active in his videos and does plenty of explaining, so you are not just watching people dance as in some other instructional videos. The image and sound are very good also. All his videos and cds are highly recommended. --J. M WILINSKY ( NJ United States)
