The Finis Jhung Ballet Technique Level 2: Barrework for Advanced Beginners
I never studied ballet before and started less than a year ago but I'm lucky to go to Finis Jhung's class. His teaching method is unique and highly effective if you follow his instructions. This video is a step forward form barrework Level 1 but still very enjoyable, doable and rewarding for beginners. All Finis' exercises are to teach you that ballet is not positions but movement, show why and how you move and how to find your balance. You gradually build your strength and improve your balance. Barre work is great as a preparation for the center work. Owning this DVD (as well as other Finis' videos) is almost like having private lessons with him! All this instructions and remarks to Kelly Waddell are very precise and easy to follow but the exercises if performed correctly are quite challenging. After a short while you will be amazed with your progress. I highly recommend this DVD not only to absolute and more advanced beginners with some ballet experience. I think that to get the real ballet class experience it is worth while to use both the Barrework and Centerwork DVDs of the same level. You will also enjoy the beautiful music of Scott Killian composed especially for Finis Jhung.
Summary of The Finis Jhung Ballet Technique Level 2: Barrework for Advanced Beginners
Finis Jhung Ballet TechniqueAs Finis Jhung often says in class, "you either stand up, or you fall. You either balance, or you don't. It all comes from the way you do your barrework." As you do this carefully constructed and minutely detailed barre, Finis frequently asks Kelley Waddell of The American Ballet Theatre (and you) to see if she can continue doing an exercise with her hand off the barre. Sometimes, he asks her to check and see that she's not sitting back on her heel, because he wants her to feel she's always ready to move from that position.
