The videos just help so much so that students can practice between classes. I don’t think any app should be used without a real time teacher. I don’t know what the student in the other review was talking about. The demonstrations on the video are really well done. ### 3/5 — It’s ok…. *2023-06-30* READ THIS PLEASE… The girl you showed does not know what technique is. When you have pointe shoes you should do ballet carefully and really develop those tiny muscles, but she hasn’t trained hard enough (by the looks of it). Please GET A MORE ADVANCED GIRL! I am sorry if this is offensive, but the girl is very bad. She doesn’t look like she knows what she is doing. I have like a BILLION CORRECTIONS FOR THE GIRL; she is not pointing her feet, not staying square, not straightening her legs, her sternum is different then where she is putting her weight, so much more that wouldn’t fit here. Besides this girl and her terrible technique, I liked how you guys explained the meanings of what these words mean and how to sound them out and you know that stuff. This app has helped me a lot, and I love to study before we do terminology classes, barre, center, adagio, allegro, stretching, conditioning, and tons more. I have about 15 classes a week (since I’m advanced), and doing this app really helps me, and it is nice to see someone do it as an example. The one thing I hate is how it costs $8.00. But I would say lower it a little, so the people who have their hearts set on ballet, but don’t have the spare money or who don’t want to spend that much, still get the opportunity to study and fall in love with doing ballet exercises and how your supposed to do it and how not to do it. Once again, I loved this app and it is worth buying, and I encourage other people who want to study get this app. Thank you to the creator and the team. PLEASE get a more advanced girl for she SHOULD NOT have pointe for the terrible technique she had. She could damage her feet the way she is doing it and that is very dangerous. Sorry, but I’m being honest. ### 2/5 — It’s ok…. *2023-06-22* READ THIS PLEASE… The girl you showed does not know what technique is.
