Guest DancingBoi Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 I found http://www.mptdance.com/intro.htm and from some of the claims it did sound a little to good to be true. Also, if you go to the gallery some of the stuff there looks to be a bit dangerous. I thought i would post the link here to get professional opinions. Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted November 1, 2003 Administrators Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 I think your instincts are correct, DancingBoi. There is no magic wand for ballet. It's resistance stretching, just like with a theraband, Pilates equipment, etc. etc. Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Ms. Leigh is correct. I don't even see anything new here, and even a couple of shots that do things, like a suspension above the floor for the front leg in a split, that I heartily disrecommend. Link to comment
Paul Parish Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Yehuda Maor used to have a studio and a little company here with Christine Elliot, that had good training and a good community feel to it. Augusta Moore taught there. Yehuda himself taught a good Maggie Black-style class -- it opened up your rotation gradually, got you warm and square. He had a good following. His old friends from ABT -- would show up regularly and perform or set a ballet for his little company. Martine van Hamel and Wes Chapman in particular. I've often wondered what he's up to now. It does look like he's merchandising this stretching-band thing beyond its merits. Link to comment
