I'm returning to ballet as an adult. What I remember after 30 years is hit-and-miss: sometimes a term will be familiar but I can't remember the movement, or I'll have 2 terms confused. This app lets me look up a term after class and think through the movement. It also helps me to see the term written out. Actual pictures would be great but for a FREE app, this is very helpful.
I got this app to be able to know what certain ballet terms were and how to spell them etc..... This app gives you very detailed information about whatever term you want to know about and the best part is you don’t have to pay for it! Now there are only pictures on a few of them if you’re a big picture person, but other than that a amazing app!
This app wouldn't make any sense if you weren't a dancer. Although it is very helpful for me because I am a dancer. I wish there were pictures like it advertised but overall it's a good app!
I love this app because it helps improve my technique at home. I am studying he terminology and is making a huge difference. It is helping me to reach my goal. TO BECOME A POINTE DANCER! It's lack of pictures isn't a big issue for me but it would be a nice addition to this already wonderful app! Download it!
I love this app! It helps me understand what each step is and how it's spelled! I highly recommend this app! I love ballet also! But if your not a dancer I suggest another app! The only thing is I wish there were pictures! But other than that I love it!! You should totally get it!!! ❤️💛💚💙💜💃🏻👯
I am a ballerina who struggles to remember names of dance moves. This app is honestly so helpful! I guarantee it will help you remember names on dance moves. Get it while it's free! This app is so awesome that it will most likely will be free for a short time.
Hello, do you own a pair of pointe shoes/take a actual ballet class? if you don't take an actual ballet class I wouldn't even dare try a pair of pointe shoes they're very very very advanced.
Not happy with my purchase since there are no photos with each ballet position as in the App preview. Had I known there were no photos I would have not bought this app.
Without a shot video or picture I could have made my own written Flashcards. The preview of the app showed a picture so I thought all of the terms corresponded to a visual, but I guess not.
I like this app but if you aren't very experienced in knowing how the French language works it's a little hard to find the words you are looking for. I mean you don't have to be fluent but you have to know some ballet. I also love this app because it gives me the literal definition and the full definition . Now I have both to impress my teachers. But I wish there were pictures of the terms.
I never knew how much I didn't know about ballet until I found this app. The search feature is great since it searches both the name and the description (I found "croisé" by searching for "cross," and learned about Fifth Position by searching for "feet turned"). And by far my favorite feature is the dice in the upper right corner: tap it and you'll get a random glossary term with a hidden description -- great for quizzing yourself!
I love this app and its cool but take the hint! Sooooo many people are complaining about not enough pics and I agree. Would it really be that hard to add details and pictures?!?!? No ones asking for professional photos, just some reference point. I think you would sell lots more full versions with those improvements. I do thank you for providing this app because it is really cool it just needs work thats all.
I have taken ballet since I was 4 and our teacher makes us memorize our dance terms and write them down. Now i don't have to!! I already have it!! It also works great to review before an audition. I also love to quiz myself and try new moves. I love how it works out of Internet connection. To the people who say it doesn't work: There must be something wrong with your iPod or iPhone or iPad because this is the best app ever!!!!!!!!
It's cool. I'm a ballerina and there's some moves that I still don't know that my teacher says but now I know ALL of them because they're all on here. I study them all the time. I only give it four stars because it COULD use a picture on all of them. So it's easier to understand. Get now if you're a ballerina! :)
I like this app being that I take ballet but if you have no dance experience I might be a little difficult. I also wish there were more terms like sotabosque or something. And only a few have pictures. Overall good app.
This app deserves a much better rating. It has so many terms and the flash card thing really helps me learn! Thanks to this app I bet I'm going to do really well in my upcoming terms exam :)
I've taken ballet and it's awesome. It also came in handy when our school play did something with ballet. I got a good part because of this app! I wish there were more ballet apps!
I think this app could be difficult to understand if you are not a dancer and do not know the terms and positions. I think there should be more pictures with them terms so it could be clearer to understand. For being free, its good.
I am a ballerina and this app has been so helpful...just one minor quirk...it COULD have pics on all of there discriptions...other than that it's great...if you dance you need this app!!!
This is actually really nice for a free app. I tried the other ballet app and it does not work! At least not on the Ipad. There could be more defs. though.
I just deleted this app. It couldn't resist giving me an ad for the pay version every time I clicked on a new term. It's pretty good for explaining the terms (though I agree pictures would make it a lot better). But if they're going to throw ads at me, how about every 5th click, or every 10th? Made it unusable.
I take ballet, but if you don't the terms and positions would be hard 2 understand. Also, there should be more pictures and more description. But over all, it is a good app!
If you click on six, it says "literally, six." But six what? And I'm not sure what type of ballet this is either, that could be clearer. But good app otherwise! I like the concept!
I am an adult beginner and this app is very helpful for remembering terms. If it had photos or examples for every term this would be my #1 favorite app! 👯
The lookup format is unfortunate. I suggest adding a search option to lookup positions by description or picture instead of a long listing. Please work on adding additional and accurate photographs or diagrams.
It won't let me open the app? How do I get it to open? I tried restarting it but it still won't! Definetly makes me think twice b4 buying the full version:(
