I have been doing this workout for a long time, and it is absolutely transformational. In my opinion it can be an excellent workout for anyone, from an advanced dancer to a complete beginner, or even someone who has not exercised in years (as I was when I started). I know for a fact that the workout is used successfully and routinely by both.
It is unique in that it is suitable and useful for such a wide range of body types and situations. Additionally, these exercises are tailored to assist the body to gain strength, balance, and flexibility without damage to the joints, ligaments, etc.
If you are training wish to train in dance, it is a great start and supplement to such training. For women who want to get into better shape without developing bulky muscles or an unattractive physique, it is perfect, and will help you to develop a dancer’s body as opposed to that of an athlete. I have attended numerous workout classes over the years but this one is by far my favorite. It keeps me coming back, and I never find myself looking at the clock wishing it were over.
I would recommend this workout for anyone, young and old, experienced and inexperienced.
The video itself is also well-made and easy to follow.
