In this instructional DVD, Finis Jhung shows and explains each exercise, 15-year-old Saige demonstrates on both sides, Finis comments and analyzes, and then Saige repeats the exercise.  Besides giving you technical instructions and demonstrations on everything from simple pirouettes to grand pirouettes en dedans, Finis has also choreographed some of the exercises so that you can work on your dancing skills.  And, of course, Saige works on the ballerina's "bread & butter" steps - pique' turns and fouette' turns.  After Saige shows her single fouette' turns, she goes on and does doubles.
