Summary: Viva Dance!
Review: Lots of pep, lots of hip, a nice cardio for a beginner or intermediate level. Dance steps can be learned in one or two sessions.
I recommend it to anyone who hates to exercise, but loves to dance.

Summary: getting started
Review: Perhaps I was the only one who didn't realize this -- but the all the exercise instructions are in Spanish. Also, if you don't know the basic steps to mambo, the cha cha cha and the samba--the first few times could be frustrating. The moves change too quickly into the exercise program to keep up. The music is good and there's a lot of hip-shaking...I hope to have more fun once I have the moves down. Because I don't know Spanish, its difficult to anticipate the moves which makes keeping up a bit harder than usual. People who do not have a dance background may find it a bit daunting in the beginning. I know I did.

Summary: Fun fun fun
Review: She's a great instructor and this is just plain fun. Though it is a fatburning session rather than an all out cardio session. I managed to do the whole thing first time, but I did have a good sweat up. I intend to use it for variety each week along side my other exercise routines
I enjoy her style and personality.
Once you get to know the moves well, you can simply just let go and shake it all about!
Fun way to fatburn! Perfect if you want to lose weight and have fun while doing it.

Summary: Viva! Latin Rhythm Workout
Review: The "Latin" moves in this workout seem strangely like American aerobics to me. You can work up a sweat by adding a lot of intensity to the moves, but if you're interested in Latin dance, my advice is to buy Brazilian Dance Workout with Vanessa Isaac instead. This workout just isn't as energetic and fast-paced as it looks.

Summary: I wanted to Love it
Review: The amature dancers which accompany the lead are cute the first viewing then distract, detract, and are annoying by the 3rd time around. I did not like this video but I'd love to see this charming lady make another with varied routins because she *can* dance! Here, tho, she gets bogged down by too many dancers and too little excitement.It looks good, should be good, but it isn't. The routines and music stay at a constant, flat sameness so there isn't much interest, it's not sexy or fun, and you tend to want to pick fault with it constantly as you dance (or I did). I see many people enjoyed this tape which is a surprise. I did not. It's about 6 on the difficultly level, so that's not the problem; perhaps it was just a bad day the day they filmed it. It lacked joie de vive for me. However -- it IS a thousand times better than Kathy Smith's Latin Workout. Save your money and break down the moves in a Britney video -- it's a lot more fun. Here's to wishing Britney had a work out DVD...

Summary: Great low impact workout
Review: The exercise is low impact and the music is good. The dancing makes it more amusing than the regular mundane steps. No one is screaming like the Richard Simmons tapes. My only criticism is the lack breathing instructions when stretching since I forget when it is best to inhale vs. exhaling. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.

Summary: Exciting Latin beats and authentic dance moves
Review: This has quickly become one of my favorite workout videos. The music is simply infectious, as is Elise's enthusiasm. Elise Foss is graceful and certainly has "got rhythm" and it's really a lot of fun to follow her moves, learning the authentic Latin dance moves while losing weight - and believe me, you are burning those calories - this video gets you sweating! This video is the Spanish version, but even if you aren't fluent (as I am not), you can still easily follow Foss's cues and pick up some new vocabulary. And, hey, that's another bonus! I mean, why just lose weight, when you can lose weight and practice your Spanish so when you get that body you want you can take that trip to Acapulco and look great at the beach?! Not to mention, know how to salsa when you get to the nightclub?
