There are two 1/2hr. sections on this tape, the second one is more advanced than the first. Each 1/2 hr. has short warm-up stretches on the floor focused on the feet and legs. The main portion is the barrework (I hold onto a chair back), and ends with centerwork. This feels like a ballet class to me without the running across the room in pairs and no spinning. It's great to work on turn out and extension. I've been doing pilates in between and the ballet w/o really shows off how much control, balance and extension pilates gives you. The set is a ballet room with piano music. The picture is grainy, the clothes are dated. There's nothing exciting, new, or flashy about this, but it'd be great for someone who's looking for a nuts-and-bolts ballet class and who already knows about body placement and posture. A for workout. C for production.

Instructor Comments:
Melissa Lowe is reserved and professional, just what I expected from a kind, effective ballet teacher.
