Dancing With the Stars - Cardio Dance

This is a fun way to get your cardio workout for the day. The instructions are easy to follow. The video makes you think you can dance.

For me this workout is all about having fun, and trying something new. It was really fun, and kept my brain working. I am not a dancer, so I really had to concentrate on the moves. It does go fast with not a lot of explanation, and I probably look like a total idiot when I am doing it. But, I have a blast, and in my mind I look like a professional :) Anyways, worth $10.00. Not a hard core workout, and I didn't sweat a lot, but again, I had a blast, and forgot I was even exercising.

I love this tape; great moves, great explanations and I feel like they are talking to me and encouraging me throughout. Ashley's voice is a wee bit annoying but I focus on the energy. They really work together well, respect each other and that comes across. The challenge is exhausting!

Dancing with the Stars: Latin Cardio Dance

I love this DVD!

I think you have to have some musicality and rhythm for dance otherwise you'll probably be quite lost. For people with absolutely no dance experience other than watching others their whole life, probably not the work out for you. I would suggest you take lessons in person from a dance teacher then come back to this DVD for practice at home and a great workout.

But, if you have any sense of timing and rhythm, I found this to be a very easy but effective workout and fun way to learn the basics of Latin dance moves. I don't think the pace is too fast nor any of the movements too challenging!

If the buyer is an intermediate ballroom dancer, this CD may be appropriate.
There is very limited instruction - few details. It is expected that we learn by watching fast moving instruction, right into quick moves. There is no instruction for foot positions and because the dancers are wearing work out clothing covering their entire leg it's difficult to determine degree of knee bend.
It's entertaining and I loved watching Maks' moves through the entire CD.
If it's instruction one may be looking for, this is not the CD to purchase.
