Purchase The Male Ballet Dancer DVD at finisjhung.com DESCRIPTION Get ready for a jaw-dropping, eye-popping experience as you watch Gold-Silver-Bronze Medalist Joseph Michael Gatti perform the variations from Black Swan and Le Corsaire and then show “How It’s Done” with Finis Jhung. Here is a thrilling display of the male bravura technique — all the virtuoso steps that stop the show and make audiences stand and cheer. Joes ability to turn is uncanny — he finishes most all his turns, including 9 pirouettes – on demi-pointe. His air turns are big and juicy, and his “trick” jumps are electrifying. Movement-by-movement, Finis and Joe go through all the steps and break down the preparations and main ideas. To help you better understand the mechanics of turns and jumps, Finis uses his teaching toys. This video is a Winner! CUSTOMER COMMENTS “This DVD is wonderful. Your instruction is so explicit—I was totally amazed at the amount of technical information you give.” – Linda Caldwell, Teacher/Owner, N’styl Performance Wear, Orlando, FL “The Male Ballet Dancer DVD is a work of art in itself, and tremendously helpful. it gave me decisively useful tips on a number of techniques, including tours en l’air, that I simply never got before. it’s really a program not just to watch and review, but to study. When I played it for the first time, I thought I’d watch a section or two and come back to it later, but I couldn’t resist viewing one chapter after another, and before I knew it, I was …

I want to become a ballet dancer, but my mom says that a lot of ballet dancers have health problems during their old age. Is that true? She says that the nerves on the big toes get damaged. I tried to Google it to see if anything was true, but I can’t seem to find anything. Also, is it too late to start ballet lessons when you are in your late teens? What are some of the good ballet dancers/ballet companies out there? Is it expensive to become a ballet dancer? How many years does it take to master this art?
Thanks
Do ballet dance teachers make a lot of money?

My dream has always been to be a good figure skater but also to do ballet. I have been figure skating for the last 4 years off and on but have never ever done ballet. I am getting more interested in it and need some advice. What are the keys to being a good ballet dancer? How can I find a ballet school or class that will cater to adults? Do ballet schools have certain criteria for their beginner dancers? Thanks! Direct references are appreciated!
