Elise: A dancer’s silhouette is the ideal physique for a woman today. It provides strength through lean, elegant, streamlined muscles. The strengthening of the dance conditioning movements will help melt away fat while creating lean musculature that is still feminine and graceful. The stretching element of dance creates length, not only in the muscles, but in the spine as well. Training with ballet conditioning will give a woman a strong, tall slender body. How did you manage to create a ballet conditioning program that doesn’t use a barre or any other equipment? Elise: I created a workout that uses the strength of the core to create balance and stability in the body. The sequences on this dvd are both accessible and challenging for anyone! Many ballet conditioning exercises actually don’t use the barre as a weight-bearing tool—it’s only for balance. In this DVD a beginner can use a chair to aid in balance, as they build core strength. A more advanced practitioner can do much of the series without the aid of a chair, simply by bracing the body with the strength of the abdominals, and a lifted, elongated spine. Who is this workout good for? Elise: This workout is amazing for women and men of all shapes and sizes! Ballet Conditioning uses one’s own body weight as resistance, so it is safe to do every day, for women AND men… from the strongest athlete, to the ultimate newcomer to fitness. It works to build strong, lean muscle, raise the heart-rate, and speed up metabolism. Dance also helps create rhythm, grace, and balance while building a supple flexible spine. . What do you think consumers will find different about Element DVDs from other workout programs? Elise: I know that consumers will enjoy the pure elegance of these DVDs. This is what truly sets the ‘element’ series apart from other brands of DVDs. The Element DVD’s encourage a solid mind/body connection, which encourages practitioners to explore their physical edge, while being truly mentally & emotionally present in the moment. These programs are fluid and graceful in their movement, and provide a HUGE physical fitness element in a nurturing and encouraging environment. . Tell us about the connection with this DVD and the efforts to reduce global warming. Elise: Element DVDs support the harmony of mind and body, which encourages a social and global awareness. This harmony encourages us to do what we can to make a difference in the world. For every four Element DVDs sold, a tree will be planted in a national forest. Consumers are therefore doing their part to reduce their carbon footprint, and the dangerous effects of global warming. If we work together, we can spread health and happiness one deep breath at a time. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great ballet DVD!This is exactly what I was looking for!! I had taken ballet for several years up until high school. It has now been 10 years since then and I wanted a refresher on the exercises I used to do for strengthening and stretching. This DVD is perfect! It has all the exercises I used to do, what a great way to tone up my body again. Rating: - Superb!This Ballet Conditioning DVD is excellent! It provides a magnificent workout and is fun to do. Set against a beautiful backdrop and accompanied with serene music, I can totally feel my whole body transforming every time I do it. I have especially noticed a difference in my legs and arms after 14 days. I actually look forward to doing this DVD 3-4 times a week. It has become one of my absolute favorite exercise DVD's ever. Rating: - GREAT WORK OUT!!I love this DVD! I used to do ballet but haven't in YEARS. I was looking for an interesting workout and this is fantastic. It's challenging and fun. I have been doing it every other day for almost 2 weeks and can already see more definition in my legs! You just feel BETTER after this DVD. I plan to continue until I can master the moves as well as the instructor (trust me, some of it is tough). I feel like I REALLY get a good workout in. Highly recommended! Rating: - Staying in Shape While SailingThis DVD is a great cross-training regime for me as a runner. This video provides an overall workout, focusing on flexibility, strength and balance. The instructor is encouraging in a relaxed manner, which I need to get through the grande plies series that sets my thighs on fire. That's not to mention the ab chapter that puts me to shame. Besides the great workout, another benefit of this DVD is that you can sweat while looking (or at least trying to look) graceful! Bonus for boaters: Many of the exercises are adaptable to small spaces. I live and travel on my 35-foot sailboat. Staying fit onboard is always a challenge. I can perform many of the exercises both inside the boat and topside. Being quite inflexible, I wish the DVD included additional warm-up stretches or an extras chapter with stretches to better prepare me for the leg lifts to follow. That aside, I recommend this DVD for people looking to increase strength, agility, balance and muscle tone. Rating: - Loving how it makes me feelAs a dance teacher I'm always looking for new ways to keep my kids in shape while also keeping myself in tip top shape. This video does the trick for sure! I got halfway into the exercises and my thighs were screaming at me. It does go a little fast for those that aren't already ballet trained but the way the narrator leads you through each exercise is nice. I highly recommend this dvd for anyone who wants to change up their routine. Browse for similar items by category:
