Summary: Great major calory burn workout with a lot of fun!
Review: This is by far the best video workout I have owned. I LOVE doing it!!! Her personality is amazing. She is very uplifting and makes you want to dance. The moves are funky and fun to follow, "funky chicken" cracks me up ;-) by the end of workout I can FEEL how my body is melting the fat away.
I strongly recomend it to anyone who is trying to loose weight and have fun at the same time. I have already lost several pounds by doing this video plus walking for 30 minutes every day.

Summary: A real dance class
Review: This is fantastic: the only dance-based workout I've tried (and believe me, I've tried a lot) that is actually just like being in a dance class. The movements are broken down and built up properly, you end up with a real dance and you certainly sweat a lot while having fun. Great low impact cardio, but that's not really the point: this is about feeling great, feeling the rhythms. Anyone who has done any dance before will be on familiar terms with the way this is taught, and those who are new to it will I am sure soon pick it up as it is so well done. it puts most of the 'flasher' DVDs out there to shame. The reason it lost a star was that it will NOT play on my DVD player through my telly, only through my computer, and as I am English I did not want to send it back, paying postage and yet another set of customs fees, so I have to put up with that. But otherwise, an amazing product, where the people on screen seem to be having as much fun as I was. Buy it!

Summary: Buyer Beware--this is Fast, Fast, Fast!
Review: This is the sort of "break-your-neck-trying" at-home workout to be avoided by the beginner or those not in tiptop shape. "Buyer Beware" because you could seriously hurt your knees or stress your heart trying to keep up with this challenging DVD. This isn't coming from a couch slouch either. I attend regular dance classes and was once a dancer. I wish the workout came in different versions, for beginner, intermediate or advanced. As a dancer I'd say this one is intermediate/advanced. The plus side is that the teacher is engaging and dedicated to her dance form; she just needs to work harder on the teaching part. The live drumming is great! The solos are wonderful--a definite plus, to see so many different styles. I like the fact that there are dancers of various ages, sizes, male and female. I wish those dancers in the workout DVD who are heavier or older were directed to show modifications of the steps so the workout could be useful to various fitness levels, shapes and sizes.
