She also highlights the position of each part of our body, making it easy when you are trying to perfect an exercise.

During the three week Christmas break, I watched and did this DVD at least twice a week.

The teacher also noticed the improvement in my posture! Thanks!

Pros: With starting a brand new dance ministry, this DVD is very helpful to begin on the right step with more wisdom for the worship dance team. I love how Pastor Lynn broke down the DVD in a format as she would teach a class. Breaking it down into 3 segments, barre work, center floor and across the floor makes for a wonderful progression as each prepares for the next. The cautions and things to watch out for that Pastor Lynn points out is also very helpful to avoid hurting yourself and the focus of details to make sure the exercises are being done properly is of great value. I would recommend this DVD to anyone in dance ministry.

Pros: Excellent resource for the dancer at any level. Both verbal and visual instructions are clear and precise.

Cons: None

Pros: I have been working out with this DVD and it really feels wonderful. Pastor Lynn gives clear instruction and a well balanced class. And as much as I enjoy it for myself, if I had to teach a ballet class this is a great resource for reviewing technique, posture, class structure and an all around how-to for instructing beginners.

Pros: The one exercise I would really like to focus on over the next several months would be the Port de Bra in the center work. I really want to memorize the order, terms and body positions that Pastor Lynn covers in the DVD. After plié and tendu for strengthening, I believe upper body fluidity is especially important as many worship teams’ first “steps” come in the form of “follow the leader” type ministry using primarily arm movements.

Pros: One of the things that impacted me of this video was Reverence not sure how to spell it but it means like reverence to the teacher but Pastor Lynn teaches the all reverence to the Lord she states in the movie “but we will reverence to the Lord” to me those words that statement said more. Even that Pastor Lynn is a pastor a teacher and much more she turned it around to our God our Lord it taught me that we need to humble our self ALL the time it doesn’t matter where we are standing student, leader, teacher, mentor, pastor, prophet, apostle etc. All glory, honor and reverence is to HIM. It so much impacted me that I learned it I taught it to a group of dance members in my church for an expo that we presented in March and it looked lovely

Pros: It is a great DVD for beginners that have little or no knowledge of ballet danceing! I practiced the exercises which was difficult at the beginning as my body was stiff. Gradually, it was easier and I began to sense my body becoming easier to move with the instructions. I believe the big part is how Ps Lynn was careful and clear in her instructions. Her approach was very inviting and cautioning what not to do as a first timer learning to articulate in body movements. It is a thorough teaching in just one DVD for a beginner teaching from the Basics to the Straight Dancing of Ballet!

Pros: This is the most well-rounded introductory teaching on Ballet. You'll appreciate the meaning of ballet terms, position demonstratons, and the refreshing teaching style. I really liked how step-by-step instructions were provided while a dancer modeled the positions and movements; and then how they "put it all together" to the music. Great tool!

Cons: None

Pros: With Ballet, getting the basics right is very important and this video does a GREAT job of laying a solid foundation. All parts of a typical ballet class are covered, with each exercise described and demonstrated completely. It is helpful to hear the explanation of how to do the exercise at the same time as watching it done as a lot of ballet terminology is in French. It’s not easy to take a class without a teacher present to help correct things, but because Lynn does such a good job of explaining and demonstrating, following her in the movements was much easier. Great initial video with lots of solid meat in it!

Pros: I was thrilled to watch this DVD after not doing ballet most of my life since taking ballet lessons as a child. Seeing and re-learning ballet again as an adult and with eyes on the Lord, made every move in the Ballet 1 DVD seem like a prayer. The opening of the arms, the pointing of the feet, a glance to an outstretched arm, all emphasize careful attention to the body`s alignment.

I believe anyone would find this easy to follow, and be deeply inspired by the anointed worship song at the beginning of the video.

Pros: Love how I have a personal one on one class with Lynn in my own personal space. The fact that i can review these moves as much as i want is amazing. It simply and well explained.

Pros: This DVD gave me an opportunity to learn the basics of ballet at my own pace. The verbal and visual instructions are thorough and Pastor Lynn is very encouraging!

Pros: Never too late to start ballet classes, studying this video I encourage daily practice some basic ballet exercises, I love simple explanations they are perfect to initiate the first steps of ballet.

Pros: The way Pastor Lynn breaks down each step and explains how the movement should look is amazing. Then she shows how steps should look and flow in real time. I felt just like I was in a ballet class What a blessing this DVD has been

Pros: I love this video! It had me feeling like a princess. Pastor Lynn is a wonderful teacher. In the video, her dancer simply and clearly demonstrates each position, exercise and movement as it is explained. It is done slow enough to catch on but quick enough to push you toward dilegence. The workout at the end is excellent and I can feel my body getting stronger already. Highly recommended for anyone desiring to learn Ballet.

Pros: watching this dvd was so so helpful. I was intimidated before now I feel confident.

Pros: I love this video! For someone like me who has never had a dance lesson, this was so helpful.

Pros: I found this video to be very good. For anyone with little to no experience, this will definitely be of help. You will learn positions of both feet and hand and better still... Vocabulary.

Pros: Wonderful explanation of ballet for beginners. Pastor Lynn makes it look so easy as she explains the difficulties with encouragement. Recommendations to all.

Pros: I found this video to be very good. For anyone with little to no experience, this will definitely be of help. You will learn positions of both feet and hand and better still... Vocabulary.

Pros: DFH Ministries Ballet Basics I is an excellent tool for learning ballet or as a refresher. It is challenging and inspiring. I highly recommend it.

Pros: Finally a DVD that explains the basics of Ballet in an attainable way! Excellent explanations and time to practice the exercises along with the instructor. Loved it!!

Pros: I have had a couple Ballet classes but they did not compare to the details and instruction found in the Ballet I video. The beginning steps you through all the details and more then you move on to practicing straight through - great exercise! and the straight through also gives tips to keep you on track as you practice. Excellent resource for your library.

Pros: Having had no ballet experience and a bit skeptical on how much I could learn on a DVD, I was amazingly surprised at the ease of teaching! I mastered the first steps easily and will continue to replay it to learn even more.

Cons: None.

Pros: I have always love ballet and because of time and resources issues I have not been able to go to ballet classes! THIS is what I have been waiting for! This DVD gives me ideas for variety! Sometimes I just don't know what to do with my feet except tapping them. Ballet 1 helps me get further not only easily, but with grace and poise. Loooove it!

Cons: None!

Pros: This is an excellent and thorough beginner ballet class. I love the way it is divided with the thorough explanations of each exercise, (including detailed coaching about correct alignment and form AND what to watch out for, in terms of mistakes) separate from a more streamlined run through of the whole class. I love it because it enables me, once I have studied the exercises, to take a full class without stopping. Even the run through, though has coaching about form and alignment. This is an excellent resource.

Pros: I love the detailed break downs of the movements in this DVD! I am a very technical person and I need things explained in minute details. What also helped was movement done with and without movement because it is important in ballet to get technique correct first and then focus on moving in rhythm with music

Cons: None

Pros: This DVD is clear and easy to follow and it can be done right at home.

Pros: This is a wonderful video of how to enjoy your ballet instruction and get exercise at the same time, i really enjoyed the easy explanation of all the steps, great job, well put together.

Pros: The Ballet 1 DVD is a great introduction to ballet. Pastor Lynn's warm approach and simple presentation of the material made learning ballet much less intimidating for me. In addition to enjoying this instruction in the comfort of my own home, this video really helped to build the confidence I needed to begin offering and teaching an actual Beginner Ballet class.

Cons: None

Pros: Ballet 1 instructional DVD is great for anyone who desires to train their body in preparation for movement in dance. Excellent that a beginner can learn the terminology while getting very specific cuing on how to do the exercises. Part 3 of the DVD, running through the exercises is smooth and choreographed to uplifting music. I love this video!

Pros: I absolutely love this DVD! The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I have noticed a considerable increase in strength and grace in my movements.

Cons: None

Pros: I like ballet, but I've always thought it very complicated and hard to learn. In this DVD, Pastor Lynn showed me that ballet can be simple and fun! It was also very nice to do ballet exercises with worship music played on the piano. I've never done ballet exercises to worship music, so that was a pleasant surprise!

Pros: This DVD is a fantastic introduction to ballet. It's the ballet class I've always wanted to participate in but never had the opportunity. Having very little prior ballet experience, I appreciate Pastor Lynn's clear and detailed instructions on each move and I found great satisfaction in learning the names of the moves as well as proper technique. This video is going to give me a solid ballet foundation that I know will enhance and strengthen my dancing.

Pros: This was definitely a great DVD. I was able to follow each exercise without pressure. I have seen, and tried other ballet videos before, but this is one that I would definitely follow twice a week for the first three months of class. Seeing as this is the first course, and there have been reviews that this DVD has improved dancers performance, I am really excited to see what I will be able to do at the end of April.

Pros: This video ballet 1 has been a great blessing to me. I have learned from stretching, posture, to more advanced moves as Pique and Pas de bourrée to help me have more knowledge so you can apply them in the future.

Pros: this is a great dvd .....the instructions are clear and repetitive easy to understand.....thank you so much DFH.

Cons: none

Pros: Since I have no technical dance experience in ballet, I am grateful for this DVD.

Cons: none

Pros: This is awesome and so precious! I cannot stop watching it. The instructions and tips for each exercise are so clearly given and dissected that everyone can follow and practice in a correct way. The demonstrations are so beautiful. The "straight through" practice is excellent for practicing all the exercises without stopping. I highly recommend you should get one and start to learn and practice.
