How to improve usage of physique within dance?
I've been told by a professional dancer/choreographer in the amateur/semi-pro dance troupe I'm in that to see a further improvement that I need to learn how to use my body and physique (as I have the "ideal build") and to consider taking ballet lessons.
I am aware of the concept of ballet within all dances, but due to other commitments (full-time work) I'm unable attend classes so I am looking for something that I can use to help extenuate my moves. Would anyone have any other ideas that I can use to help myself improve again?
How beneficial can learning from an instructional video or book be? (I can learn from visual aids so this isn't as big a problem as it could possibly have been.) Are there any forms of media that explain the concept of body use?

You cannot learn ballet from a book or video. To be able to engage the proper muscles and for proper alignment, you need a "hands on" instructor to give you corrections.
If you work full time during the day you should be able to find an adult beginner ballet class in the evening. The best place to find good instruction would be at a ballet academy. Preferably one with an affiliation to a ballet company. They would have the best dance flooring and teachers. If you work in the evening hours, they may have morning classes as well.
