This is the perfect barre workout for beginners as well as advanced dancers. Finis Jhung first shows and explains each exercise in detail: he tells you why it's important, breaks it down count-by-count, and shows you how to do it. The exercise is then demonstrated by Melissa Elstein, first to one side, then the other, and then repeated entirely. All the while, Finis is on camera making pointers and coaching. The barre progresses and advances slowly and methodically, gradually increasing in intensity, speed and range of movement. This is a comprehensive work-out for the entire body (and mind): beginners will learn the essential ideas of the ballet movement process while advanced dancers will be reminded of the often-neglected basics that make the difference. Welcome to the Finis Jhung Ballet Technique!

This video records me [Finis Jhung] at age 75. Each day finds me quietly waging my own personal battle against aging. I can't let a day go by without doing my own personal regime of stretches. When I don't do my daily exercises, my body complains with pain. In this video I will show you the exercises I have found to be most helpful in keeping my arthritic hip functioning pain-free and in "unseating" those joints and muscles that become stiff and achy from prolonged sitting and inactivity. This program will benefit you the most if you would do it from start to finish. Try to make time so you can do it without interruption. These exercises are deliberately contemplative. Think about and talk to your body. It's the only one you have. Treat it well. Once you learn the exercises and can do them by yourself, it should take you about 45 minutes to do the entire program without stopping. If you are pressed for time, do the Morning Wake-up which takes about 20 minutes.

Awaken your body and refresh your mind with these short bouts of ballet. Choose from four different ten-minute breaks, each with four ballet exercises choreographed by Finis Jhung to the soul-stirring, heart-pounding orchestrated music of Scott Killian. Finis presents each exercise and gives pointers while Antonio Carmena, the critically-praised soloist of The New York City Ballet, demonstrates. To live is to dance.

Good dancers move and work their arms as they dance across the floor, they don't "hold" static positions. Never-ending energy pulsates from their fingers to their toes. Their dancing has intensity and rivets our attention because they are so deeply involved with how they balance their leg work with their arms. Most important is the fact that they use their arms to facilitate the movements of their feet and legs, which in turn magnifies their movements. Antonio perfectly demonstrates all of this.

Here are twelve new lessons which break down the fundamental elements of the pirouette en dehors from fourth position. Instructions about correct muscle usage and the mechanics of movement have been minutely detailed in bite-sized, digestible 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 minute segments. As you study each lesson you will discover what you're not doing and how to correct and perfect your preparatory moves. Learn to work your body parts correctly and in the proper sequence so you can get on your leg and turn. This video forges ahead with several new strength-building exercises and explicit "how to" instructions not previously shown on other turning videos. Remember, if we can go to the moon and back, you can turn around twice on the floor.
