![The Finis Jhung Ballet Technique Level 1: Barrework for Beginners [DVD] DVDs - Picture 1 of 1](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/1O8AAOxyOlhS-X0c/s-l500.jpg)
This is a great instructional DVD for ballet beginners who want to practice at home and improve their techniques. The teacher, Finis Jhung, is an innovative ballet instructor who has been teaching ballet in New York City since 1972. He gives you concepts, ideas and imagery to work with, which are not commonly used in conventional ballet schools. Even the way he teaches you to use the barre and to work with your placement is different from run-of-the-mill instructions. It is so inspiring. I originally bought the Level 2 (Advanced Beginners) DVDs because I have been learning ballet as an adult for about a year and a half. But I realized that Jhung has his very own method and I was curious to learn about the basics in order to build a sold foundation as I progress. I don't regret a bit about having purchased the Level 1 Barre DVD. Just the first few exercises are worth more than the money you pay for it. In fact, this is almost as good as a private ballet teacher, except you would want to have a mirror to give yourself corrections. It is important to have a home-practice barre and mirror or access to a ballet studio when you use Finis Jhung's DVDs. One word about the music. I didn't like the music in the Level 2 DVDs at all, as the rhythms are really odd and the melodies very ugly. But the music in the Level 1 DVD (composed by the same guy) is quite acceptable. I highly recommend this to any adult ballet students who want to get a solid grip on their basic techniques, which will greatly help them build more advanced techniques in the future.Read full review
A wonderful, systematic approach to the art of movement. Exercises are carefully explained in great detail. Attention to natural alignment and proper breathing. Completely worth the cost!
