This isn't the cheapest book and there weren't many reviews, so I was hesitant to buy it. But I wanted to dance better, so I tried it. Glad I did. I often rely on user reviews so I'll try and give a decent one here.I'm not a ballet dancer, but I got into ballroom and latin later in life. I like spins and turns but can't control them as well as I'd like. I figured, whatever it takes to enable one to dance on pointe, can't hurt for ballroom spins and turns. Besides, ballet is the grandmother of most all western dance and there's definitely ballet elements in the ballroom dances.I'm no couch potato, I work out seven days a week including an hour long weight lift routine 3X per week that is (I think) a decent full-body work out. I felt that my spins and turns problem was at least partly a lack of the right kind of leg strength, but I couldn't figure out how to work the right muscles. I take private dance lessons weekly and have been trying to improve my spins and turns, but it seems I've been stuck on a plateau for six months now. Need to break out of the rut. That's why I bought this book.So I got the book a few days ago, went through it, and grabbed every exercise that looked like it might hit muscles I'm not already working on. Wow! In the very first workout my body said "Now those are the muscles you're using when you dance." My turn out muscles as she calls them (never head of them before) are weak, and the foot muscle control exercises are incredibly hard for me right now, but they seem awesome. I knew I needed foot muscle control for spins and turns but never knew how to develop it. I think this is going to help a lot.
