With instruction shown from both front and rear view, the videos are fun, clear, and easy to follow. On each DVD, simple warm-ups give way to more challenging routines, allowing all levels of dancers to move across the floor and progress at their own level.
About the DVDs:
Simply Ballet: An easy to follow Master Class for Beginners! If you're a beginner continuing to enjoy Classical Ballet, join American Ballet Theatre ballerina Michelle Benash as she instructs you in this easy to follow along Beginner Ballet Class. Begin at the barre, chasse to the center combinations and work your way through the variety of leaps and turns. Soon, you'll be dancing the grand allegro set to a lively waltz. Simply brilliant…simply ballet! Michelle Benash has performed with American Ballet Theatre and danced with Baryshnikov in the films The Turning Point and The Nutcracker. She is presently on faculty at New York City's High School of the Performing Arts, which inspired the film and TV series “Fame”. DVD available August 21, 2007
Simply Hip Hop: It's Hip, it's Happening, it's now. Join New York City's hottest instructor, Suzanne DiNunzio, to learn the latest in Hip Hop and Funk style dance. The class begins with a funky warm-up, followed by some jammin' variations and combos to get you into the groove, and finally a full length, cutting edge Hip Hop dance that's fresh off the streets of New York City. Each section is broken down slowly from both front and rear views for easy learning. This DVD features Matthew Morrison, the original Link in “Hairspray”, who was most recently nominated for a Tony award for his performance in "Light in the Piazza". Suzanne teaches at many of the prominent studios and clubs in New York - her "multi-groove" classes that combine Funk, Jazz, Latin and African dance are always jammed to capacity. She also performs with Manhattan's hottest Hip Hop Group, Culture Shock. DVD available September 4.
Simply Tap Dance: Join internationally known teacher Germaine Salsberg for your very first Tap Class - at home or in the studio!
