Hi Ballet Beauties! Thank you so much to all of you who participated in our first ever Playlist Competition. We were so thrilled and overwhelmed with all of the submissions we received - it was almost impossible to choose just a few winners! Below are four of our favorite playlists; if you don’t see yours here, stay tuned! We’ll be sharing the rest in future posts. Congratulations Alisa, Sheila, Lisa, and Katelyn. We hope you enjoy and are inspired by their workout playlists! Name: Alisa Ilardo City: Phoenix, AZ Playlist Title: Ballerina Training Videos: Allegra Interval : Attitude lift Allegra Interval : Jete’ Standing Abs Splits Attitude Blast Bridal Waist Ballet Basics Center, Waltz Ballet Basics Barre, Ronde de Jambe Prima Series: Ronde de Jambe Inner thigh blast Ballet Beautiful Body: feet Full body Power Blast My playlist is a very Ballet centered workout. Ever since I discovered Ballet Beautiful more than a year ago I have uncovered a serious desire to dance! I love that my playlist focuses on Ballet training and enables me to really feel like my ballet skills are becoming more refined!!!! I just LOVE it!! Name: Sheila City: Toronto, Canada Playlist Title: Ballerina Workout Videos: Swan Lake Swan Queen Workout Ballet Basics: Sleeping Beauty Lilac Fairy Hip and Thigh Workout Backstage Abs Splits Centre Splits Coming from a background in dance, I absolutely love the more dance inspired workouts which is why I started my playlist with the Swan Queen Workout and Sleeping Beauty Lilac Fairy, I like doing cardio at the beginning of my workouts to warm up. My two focus areas are bum and abs, so I love both the Hip and Thigh Workout (it gives you a dancers bum!) and Backstage Abs, which are very targeted and commit a full fifteen minutes to each of these areas. I then finish with two split videos, because I love finishing my workout with a long stretch! I love my Custom Workout so much and use it five days a week, but I also love using the Personal Playlist option on the sixth day to do all my favourite videos and treat myself to a long stretch. Name: Lisa Gimelli City: Montclair, NJ Playlist Title: Gimelli BELOW THE BELT Videos: Bridge and Ball Workout Hip and Thigh Workout Classic Inner Thigh Butt Series Part 2 (I know, I can't believe it either) Prima Series Full Body on the Mat From the backstage DVD: Ballerina stretch I made this collection that includes two of the hardest videos of all time, bridge/ball and butt 2, to really challenge myself. I have been doing BB fairly religiously for over 3 years, and the fact that I can get through this playlist and live to tell about it just shows how strong I have become. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and the heart of my bottom :) Name: Katelyn Hoobler City: Philadelphia, PA Playlist Title: Beautiful, Elegant, Graceful, Strong: Ballet Cardio Videos: Battement Cardio Series Bikini Blast Arabesque Blast Waltz of the Flowers Bridal Waist Bridal Legs Skyline Abs Fondu Workout Curtsy Cardio Cardio Core Swan Arms; Cardio Sugarplum Pique Passe Ballet Sculpt

I love these cardio workouts for both their ballet principles as well as the toning that is naturally included in the workouts. Many of the workouts, in addition to being a low-impact but fast-paced cardio session, target the abs for me as I improve my balance during the moves and sculpt a strong, lean center. These ballet cardio workouts make me feel strong and get my heart pumping. As my balance improves, my center feels stronger and I feel more graceful and elegant!
