Rating: Summary: Not worth it Review: Ok, being an exotic dancer I knew this DVD would be way too easy and even a little lame. However, with those expectations I was still dissapointed. If any of you can move your hips back and forth when you walk, then you are too advanced for this tape. I guess the biography's were a little interesting. But you can read them on the internet for free! If you have ever gone out dancing or watched a music video, then don't bother with this. You'll learn more by watching the movie striptease. I might suggest it for women over 40 or 50 with limited movement. These couple of dances might help loosen you up.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful DVD Review: The best thing about this DVD is the slow realization that I might possibly have some "stuff to strut." It has made me so much more confident. The instructor actually instructs and uses easy to understand terms. Anyone could do it. Women of all ages are in the class and all did a good job. You are instructed that the way you are able to do things is just fine...everyone's body moves in different ways. This takes a lot of the pressure off. You realize that you are doing pretty good. The one thing that scared me about the DVD was the striptease section. I was worried about my young children seeing something they shouldn't. Well this DVD to my relief is almost rated G. All clothes stay on. Except the large overshirt being used to demonstrate stripteases. Buy and enjoy.
Rating: Summary: WORST VIDEO I HAVE EVER BOUGHT!!!! Review: This DVD is a joke. The dancer performs quick skits without offering any valuable instruction. In addition, there is a lot of downtime and the video is very short. The skits are outdated and her moves are not impressive. This isn't even good enough to be called Stripping 101, and I am saying this as a someone who is not a professional stripper. Please don't waste your time and money. You'll be sorry!

Rating: Summary: LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT!! Review: This DVD was a Godsend! I am glad I didn't listen to some of the other reviews...maybe they can comfortably dance like this but it is hard for someone like me! I am a bit overweight and have never thought of myself as very sexy. My husband loves me, of course, and I thought this might be a "treat" for him. It became more of MY treat!! I learned the moves and I started to believe they actually looked good!!! But what really happened is that I started to FEEL good about myself...to feel sexy and not be so hard on myself. It has had a dramatic affect on my life! I have lost 35 pounds...and my husband thinks I am a Goddess!!! (Which I now realize, I am!!) If anyone is thinking about getting this product...do it! It is wonderful!! And it's nice to see the women in the video are just "normal" and not perfect! How refeshing!!! Thank you for making this DVD for women like me, who needed something supportive and not intimidating!
Rating: Summary: Excellent for Novices Review: This is an instructional video/dvd on a few basic erotic dance moves. This tape is not for people who have dance backgrounds or who are comfortable with erotic movements. Women who need encouragement to become comfortable with touching themselves and moving erotically will get the most benefit from this tape. For women who need advanced instruction on erotic dancing, I would suggest going to clubs and watching dancers or watching stripper videos/dvds. (The second video in this series,"Develop Your Routine" is a good starting point also)
Rating: Summary: Sexy dancing for everywoman and every body. Review: This tape shows you the moves of exotic dancing, but more than that - it is about everyday women who have taken up this sensual art not only to please their lovers but to please themselves!
Rating: Summary: For women with low self esteem or lack of confidence... Review: This video isn't really a dance video as they advertise it. I bought it not really knowing what to expect, and the other reviewers are right, if you have any dance background what so ever, or if you are at all comfortable with your body, this is not the video for you.However, I think it could be incredibly useful for women who have low self esteem or lack of confidence in themselves, and especially women who have issues with their bodies and their sexuality. This video would be incredibly healing for people with those types of backgrounds.
Rating: Summary: Solid basics for total beginners. Review: This video uses real people who've taken the class, and for each dance move that is taught, you get to see every student trying it one at a time and telling what helped them and what challenged them, which I found to be very helpful. It's tough at first, especially for someone like me who took three months of tai chi just so I could stop stubbing my toes on furniture ten times a day. There's the walk, then three types of hip rolls, and then floor work. At the end, you come away with one full choreographed routine. Unlike other reviewers, I do find it to be a bit of a workout - not cardio, but similar to tai chi - lots of balancing and muscle strength-type work. Of course, as the other reviewers say, if you already consider yourself to be a good dancer, it's probably too basic for you - but I CANNOT DANCE, so it's great for me. If you're looking for fun, low-key exercise that could help make you feel good about yourself, consider investing.
