Rating:  - Is He Really Serious?
I am an adult ballet student with about five years under my belt. I have heard and read much about the legendary David Howard and his ground-breaking technical ballet training.

However, I think it is perfect for ballet students who have taken lessons for at least a few months and need additional training in between classes. As such, it is a great video. The girl who demonstrates in the video does the movements almost ... Read More
