Customer Reviews

Fun, but challenging dance video
This DVD can only be called a great success. It does not seem too challenging at first, but the songs are all so fast that you end up with quite a sweat. There are some complicated steps in the routines (especially turns) but everything can be mastered after doing it a few times. Moves are also often spread out over 2 or 4 counts which makes it easier to follow them.
The routines do not take up too much space and can easily be done in a small living room. Every routine consists of a chorus and a verse which is repeated several times and it takes 30 minutes to do one song so that 2 routines are an amazing workout. Even after mastering all the moves it is still fun to do and the two different camera angles plus the music video make it really fun and varied.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in dancy excercises to tone your entire body.

Good moves, not the greatest workout
I bought this DVD to use as a cardiovascular workout. It has several good features and some drawbacks.
Good features:
*Can choose track easily
*Good scenes for learning the moves
*Several options for watching the routine
*Good chart music to dance to

Drawbacks:
*After you have learnt the moves it doesn't really go anywhere. The performance scenes are difficult to follow if you need a prompt. What it really needs is a studio scene that just runs through the whole routine.
*There is little flow. You have to go through the menu for everything.

Overall this is a good DVD to learn a street style of dance, but is not ideal if you are looking for an aerobic workout (although it will get your heart up). It is fun and worth considering if you'd like to try something different.

Need an experience with dance
I danced allot when i was younger so I didn't think that this would be much of a problem for me and I didn't want a dvd that said it 'tought' you how to dance because i naively thought i could, but this dvd is quite difficult to keep up with as the moves are quite fast and i am used to seeing dance teachers dance from behind but it is very confusing becuase they are facing you so you have to work out which way to this and that, so when i get round to doing it i give up on the dance and just do the warm up and the cool down.
