Ballet Body Workouts
140 Episodes
This is the entire Ballet Body library of workouts. These dance-ballet-barre inspired workouts are mainly performed with bodyweight resistance and/or light dumbbells 2-5 lbs. and resistance bands. Leah is working on re-filming some of these workouts since many of the workouts were originally compressed for mobile devices between 2011-2014. Due to the small video file size, the quality does not meet the higher resolution of recently published videos.
