    Disappointing

    I was expecting a NYC Ballet workout, but this was more a video snapshot of a few floor exercises. Very slow,slow and slowly not challenging. I was at least hoping for an intermediate level work out, this was way below my expectation. The only good part was the artistic way it was shot, but not a "work out" video for anyone serious. Can I return this? Look for it on the thrift store shelf.

    excellent workout and stretch for the entire body

    I have used it for nearly a year and it helped strenghten my body a lot. I am a beginner so it is challenging for me. I would recommend it to anyone who loves ballet and would like a daily workout routine.
