 I feel like a dancer August 28, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This workout can make you feel like a dancer, even if you've never put on pointe shoes. I did not expect to work up as much of a sweat as I did, but it moves quickly from routine to routine so you don't get bored and you do work up a good sweat. The moves are easy enough for beginners to follow and the cardio is low impact. I have a lot of ballet inspired videos, but all of them are only barre work with muscle and strength building exercises...which is important too. But it's nice to have a fun and different kind of cardio workout without the typical grapevines and heel digs (we've all done those, right?). The music is great also with a Moby song and sweet remix of canon in D. There's nothing wrong with grapevines and heel digs, but sometimes you just want something different and that's exactly what this video is... fun, different, and graceful.

Balocity is an all-around great low-impact workout that I don't mind doing on a daily basis. Best of all, it doesn't hurt my knees, unlike most ballet classes. An upbeat instructor, good music, nice set, and finely-tuned workout.
 Not a hard workout but it keeps you moving July 7, 2008

This is a great video for working on your grace and working up some sweat with great movement. I didn't get bored at all :)
Great Workout for the Injured, But Take It Slow... June 16, 2008

Having old breaks in my foot, ankle, knee and hip, it is difficult to find a workout that doesn't cause pain somewhere. Yet, I needed a workout that would work my core and give me a cardio burn. I didn't expect to find it all in one, honestly, but I kept looking... I did this workout for the first time today, and really enjoyed it. I'm not terribly coordinated, so some of the steps combining arms and legs were a bit much for my first day, but they are not overly complex, and by the end of each segment I was putting it all together... :) The cardio starts out slow, but picks up the pace, and the toning continues throughout. Perhaps the best part is that it is fun to do, not just a good workout. I look forward to doing this workout regularly!

This was not what I was expecting. It is very much like a ballet class, not a workout.
I might recommend it to people who have been doing traditional aerobic dance (Lo impact, Jazzercise, etc) who want to explore ballet style.
But if, like me, you have had years of ballet training and are looking for a cardio workout that doesn't offend your dancer sensibilities, then you might be disappointed.
