However....I do feel concerned that the very basics of ballet technique are not explained for the benefit of those people that have never done ballet before. Im sure that some people might argue that it looks simple enough and of course it does with the help of the professional dancers who have been doing ballet for years and have had teachers correcting them along the way. Even a simple plie requires some knowledge of the technique to prevent injury.

Dont forget that this video/dvd is being sold on the basis that you too can have a body of a ballet dancer and I would therefore expect some explanation as to why the ballet dancers body is the shape that it is and how it is achieved. This workout differs significantly from the usual aerobic videos where you are always encouraged to keep the knees soft, this is not the case in ballet and it is important to remember that the workout is based on ballet technique, how else do you think these dancers achieved slender legs, suppleness etc.... (dont have enough room to explain here).
