Hilarion Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 I've been sidelined from class for a couple of months, so I'm maintaining form (to the extent possible without supervision) by watching ballet class videos. But they are all populated by willowy adolescents. From my distant perspective, anyone under 25 qualifies as an adolescent! Are there any ballet class videos by, for and of adults? Sorta like a film version of the Joffrey's Ballet-Fit? Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted December 15, 2001 Administrators Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 Hello, Hilarion, and welcome to Ballet Talk! There is no video for adult ballet, to my knowledge, but what a good idea! Maybe someone will see this thread and make one! Quote Link to comment
balletowoman Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 There is the workout video from the New York City ballet (by and for adults)... Quote Link to comment
Guest amdewitt Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 I second that! I love the NYC Ballet Workout. I've got the DVD version at home which allows you to pick the exercises that you want to do and also change the style of music. Quote Link to comment
Guest beckster Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 I like that video too, but it isn't like a ballet class, really. It would be great if there was a video of adults of various levels taking a class which you could follow along - whatever your feelings are about practicing at home, I am sure this would be popular!

Hilarion Posted December 19, 2001 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 A couple of my fellow students and I have talked from time to time about taping our classes. The instructor seems amenable to it, but we haven't actually done any more than talk. Now that I'm out of the studio (temporarily - I hope), I can think about projects like this. Has anyone here also considered having your class immortalized on film (with yourself as star, of course, if you can get someone else to hold the camera). Quote Link to comment
