Movie Reviews of The Dancer

Movie Review: Andromeda
Summary: 5 Stars

This artistically produced DVD was a joy to watch. Closeups of the dancer's feet and her perspiring face drove home the dedication of this young dancer. For anyone who thinks ballet is easy or something to be taken lightly, this will change your mind and make you see the beauty that is possible with dedication and hard work. I especially enjoyed how the dancers were corrected, as when the teacher told the dancer to go more to second position with her working leg before turning her foot back to arabesque. This type of attention to detail makes all the difference in dance training and this is packaged beautiful into an entertaining picture to view.

Movie Review: The Dancer...
Summary: 5 Stars

For those who wish to dance (or have children that THINK they want to dance), this is a most excellent dvd to watch. I knew that Ballet dancers had their routines that they go through, but you get a little of the technical side of the business (and the Ballet Shoemakers slaving away is interesting too!). I've watched this multiple times, Ms. Bjorner moves me to at least exercise (that's something, I suppose...). I can't heap any more praise on this dvd that hasn't already been given. I too, rate this DVD 5 stars! See for yourself (and decide)!!

Movie Review: Lovely Film
Summary: 5 Stars

With the exception of the sometimes what my children have called "scarey movie music" this is a wonderful doc/film about dance. I agree with another poster that the up close and personal footage of the dancer, Katya (sp?) is amazing. It really gives you a sense of the effort involved in classical ballet and the extraordinary work these young women and men put into their craft. I have rented this film a number of times and definitely recommend owning it to anyone who enjoys ballet.

Movie Review: A visual documentary ; little dialog
Summary: 5 Stars

I truly enjoyed this documentary. The work and dedication that dancers need is shown in a wonderful light. I was very interested in the short clips of the pointe shoe making process.

A great DVD to add to your collection!
