ABOUT THE TEACHER: Finis Jhung performed with the San Francisco, Robert Joffrey, and Harkness ballets, on Broadway, and in film, before founding his own Chamber Ballet U.S.A. Now, he is a master ballet teacher, the creator of more than 50 instructional dance videos, and the author of The Finis Jhung Ballet Technique: A Guide for Teachers & Students. ABOUT THE VIDEO: This video records Finis Jhung at age 75. He shows you exercises he found helpful in keeping his arthritic hip functioning and pain-free. Older people with a limited range of movement may find this gentle approach to exercise doable and helpful. 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. Treat it well. Once you learn the exercises and can do them by yourself, it should take 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. EXERCISES are listed on the back cover of the DVD image above. BONUS - 20 Minute Morning Wake-up. SPECIAL FEATURE: Play the DVD in 3 modes: Full Class, Individual Exercises or Workout Mode where you can run the exercises without instruction, or 20 Minute Morning Wake-up
