This beginner
ballet class
features two girls and a boy performing a simple ballet class for 8 to
10 year
olds. The music in the class is from the CD ‘Between Tots & Teens’
by Steven
Mitchell. There is no main menu of chapters but there are 32 different
chapters
that are outlined on the jacket. Several exercises are devoted to
preparing a
student for Pirouettes as well as Developpe and jumps. The 28 different
exercises are a perfect starting place for any beginning ballet dancer.
The
simple setting of a single barre with three dancers is very much like
being in
a real ballet class. This DVD contains explanations and demonstrations
of many
different steps conducted by Mignon Furman who is from the Royal Ballet
in London, England
and is director of the American
Academy of Ballet in New York City.
