This teacher training DVD shows Dmitri Roudnev leading one young dancer in a complete intermediate ballet class. This fully chaptered DVD gives you two options for viewing the class. One option follows right along with the class without any explanations or instructions. In this mode the viewer goes directly from exercise to exercise which is perfect for giving yourself a class. The second option presents very detailed instructions and explanations before each exercise. Dmitri takes his time during the class to explain different aspects of the way he works and what he has found to be very important in teaching ballet. This information is extremely useful for any teacher or dancer who is involved in ballet. The 53 minute class uses most of the music from the CD “Ballet Class Music Vol. 11” by Olga Krasnoselskih. The class starts off with 10 different barre exercises followed by 11 different center combinations and ends with six very simple pointe exercises. Packed with secrets of Russian ballet training this is the perfect class for first year pointe students.
