• This is a great workout

  I bought this at a retail store on sale, not sure what to expect. I was happily surprised when I realized how challenging it was. I started to sweat during the warmup! This workout will really work your abs and hips. I'm using it to tone up my core muscles and to lay a foundation for taking some dance classes.
  
  Besides the fact that it's well-designed and presented by real ballroom dancers (with amazing bodies - not an ounce of fat on them), there are several features that make this workout so good. The music really keeps you moving. You can choose to watch the video from the front or watch the back view (which is my favorite because it is easier to mimic the movements of the dancers). You can instantly change back and forth between the views, skip to certain segments within each workout, or get help in explaining how to do various moves. As the other reviewer said, sometimes it's a little bit repetitive but it's never boring. I think it's fun - much more fun that doing my Pilates videos or doing traditional stomach-toning exercises. I even got my husband to join in and try it with me and he said it was fun but hard! It's a very well-done workout and I highly recommend it.
  
  
  

• love it! sweat, have fun, all while low impact!

  I just bought these on a whim and LOVE them. I have a knee problem so I have to stay low impact. I do these workouts with no problem. The thing that strikes me the most about these dvds is that the instructors truly look like they are having SO much fun teaching.
  
  I love the movements, and haven't yet tried the actual dance instruction bonus feature. It's enough to do the workout. I'm always sweating and having fun!
  
  If you've ever done a belly dance workout, Rania or the twins, I think it makes for a quicker learning curve for the hip movements, shoulder shimmies, etc. However, it's WAY more of a cardio workout than the bellydance videos that I have.
  
  Overall, great workout, gets you sweating, it's fun!
  
  
  

• Fun, good for basic technique, will actually work you out

  I have tried 6 or 7 other dance workout programs and this is the first one that actually made me sweat. The instructors are real dancers so their technique and movements are well done. I love to salsa and swing dance and part of the reason I bought these videos was to improve my style. They will not actually teach you how to dance, but if you work out to the videos you will at least be comfortable with the basic movements so that it makes learning far easier.
  
  There are a lot of repedative movements in the videos, but I appreciate those because it gives you a chance to practice. Also, the dvds are extremely versatile. You can push a button at any time and they explain how to do the movements and you can view from the front or the back.
  
  Great workout for your waist!

  The discs provide a really good workout but some of the dances are pretty tough. I have continued working through and have gotten a pretty good hang of them though! I would recommend them - I saw results very quickly!!!

  I've always found prices much cheaper on Amazon. I found this exact DVD at Best Buy for 39.99.
