 The New York City Ballet Workout (2000),
Do you envy ballet dancers their long, lean bodies and graceful, elegant movements? This beautifully produced exercise video was developed by Peter Martins and the New York City Ballet with the New York Sports Club. The workout is divided into 17 short sections, which may give it a disjointed feeling if you're used to more continuity. At the end is a bonus sequence with profiles of the four performers, all dancers with the New York City Ballet.
|  Dance Hot Salsa level 1 & 2, Josie Neglia (Director)
25 steps/variations with a dance combination before each section. [45 MINUTES in length] (each step/variation is broken down in a very easy-to-follow format)
|  Ballet Class for Beginners (1986),
David Howard's Ballet Class for Beginners is an excellent learning and teaching tool especially designed by America's foremost ballet master to introduce the beginning dance student to the technique and vocabulary of classical ballet with the emphasis on posture, placement, and movement potential. Featuring Allison Potter with music by Whit Kellog.
|  An Introduction to 6-Count Swing,
Swing (a derivative of Lindy Hop) is a truly original American dance. Developed in the late 1920's in the ballrooms of Harlem, the dance swept the nation, crossing social and racial lines with unprecedented popularity. Today's resurgence of this soulful dance has enriched the lives of young and old. This video will provide the basic tools needed to enjoy this social dance for years to come.
|  Riverdance - The Show (1995),
Riverdance--The Show is a cultural phenomenon that defies criticism for the enthusiastic and leaves everyone else scratching their heads. The wonderfully talented cast, headed by the Riverdance Irish Dance Company, bewitchingly spins (and stomps) its Celtic folk choreography featuring numerous breathless solos by Michael Flatley (since departed) and Jean Butler. Though it's only 70 minutes long, Riverdance is repetitive by half. But judging from the ecstatic audience ovations and the continued foot-stomping during and after the curtain calls, too much is still not enough.
