Ok

Won't let me get the combos

Horrible!

Combos are too simple. The dancer lacks technique. And it feels like I'm watching a dance mom record her little ballerina for the first time in their living room. I would not recommend this app, even to review core basics. VERY disappointing. :(

too simple

I purchased this app and after looking through it I regretted that decision. All it is, is a series of short clips with no real explanation of the barre exercises you are performing.

Good review of beginning ballet

This app has 12 short videos that cover moves such as pliΓ©, tendu, frappe, etc. This is not a fitness workout, but rather reinforces the beginning ballet bar moves you learned while taking a ballet class. You can choose which moves you want to see and watch a 20 sec video and read a description. In app purchase of more routines available. Select from 3 classical songs to play along while you are doing the moves.

Garbage

I want my money back !!!
This is so sad. What a rip off. I'm so sad and disappointed. It is true the person instructing this video is not a professional. It is sad and embarrassing. Wasted my money. How can I get it back? I'm not very happy. Horrible. Pathetic. Embarrassing. How dare you put yourself out there on an app. You tricked us. What a piece of crap !

No

The person who is in the videos isn't very well trained.

Not an instructional app

I bought this thinking it will teach me barre excercises i can do. First of all the instructor doesnt talk so shes more of a performer not an instructor. It just shows different barre moves so if you want an app for workout, this isnt it. Hope i can get refunded. Waste of money!!!!

Her arms!

It's okay but her arms...GAHHH!!!! I can't stand them!!

Crash

I just bought this app and all it does is flash and crash. When I go to the developer's website, I must be logged in to get help, but there is no way to log in.

Ballet Star

I like it because it might help you do dance better

Strong app

Great to use on the go; gave me a lot of good ideas. Love the illustrations. 10 stars!

Great!!!

Found so much new information. Easy to use; great interface 10 stars!

Horrible app!

I have been dancing for 12 years and have seen ballet companies perform from all over the world. I thought this would be nice to have so I could practice over break. However, it's not worth the time or money. The exercises are beginner at best. The dancer doing the exercises is making a good effort, but has bad technique. It isn't a good idea for any dancer to watch and absorb bad habits, as it can lead to problems in more difficult steps as well as greater chances of injury.

Waste of money

I love to have other examples for my students to look at when they are away from the ballet school. I thought this app would be helpful but I completely regret downloading this app. Although the dancer has the right idea in the combination, her technique, turnout, and port de bra are not good examples for those who are wanting to learn and improve as dancers. It is much harder to learn and practice bad technique and then have to fix it later on. I suggest the "ballet is fun" app. The dancers have very good technique and the app contains at least 60 more videos and definitions for both male and female dancers.

Not worth it

Don't waste your money she doesn't know what she is doing

Less then helpful

I was hoping to have ballet combinations on my time off from dance however I ended up making them up myself. Way to simple and the dancer looks like she doesn't know the difference between her head and her foot. I can't believe I spent two dollars on something I could teach better. Waste of time and money.

Pretty Good

This is a great app to learn barre practices! I don't think that it's worth two dollars... A dollar would be a reasonable price given that there's only about 10 exercises! But a good app overall!!!

Great

This is a great app to get started in ballet, good warm up exercises!

Oh no

The first dancer was much better!!!! The new one doesn't look like she knows what she is doing :( like that it now has music.

Disappointment

I was hoping to get some ballet barre exercise to incorporate in my core fitness classes that I teach, but I have obtained free exercise apps that were more helpful. No words or music. I was very disappointed.
