Hi, Crystal, welcome back. The NYCB workouts are not intended to build ballet technique, but if you've once had it in your muscle memory, these are good for helping the body remember.

Have you looked at the videos available from Finis Jhung? They are considerably more expensive than anything else I have seen ($60 per tape) but I heard from other dancers that the "instruction" was in a league of its own. So, I purchased one video recently and I have to agree with all of the recommendations I received.

Best wishes in balancing your time and finances!
Disclaimer: I am not a fan of instructional videos/ do-it-yourself training in general. I did not purchase the tape with "self-training" in mind (although his tapes could serve that purpose better than others I have seen). I made the purchase in an attempt to experience another instructors approach to barre work and from what I had been told the imagery Mr. Jhung uses could be useful for the improvement of my placement/carriage within my current class. Not that I am unhappy with my current teacher...it's just that I only have one style of teaching available to me and I am interested in and feel the need to discover more variety.

Crystette325,
I understand the financial battle! I would never have purchased the tape if I had not received a generous Father's Day gift from my in-laws and been told to spend it on something fun that I really wanted. Maybe you could ask for it as a gift...birthday or other occasion on the horizon?
