Hard time following it, but still enjoyed itMay 26, 2010
As a non-dancer, she went a little too fast for me, but the DVD was still enjoyable to use and I'll be using it again -- it might even get into my regular rotation of exercise DVDs!
The good: Her background dancers had very varied body types (including two that were nearly overweight). One of the background dancers was a man, which was nice to see! Most of my DVDs use only women background dancers.
I loved the live music! She had a band right there with her, and the camera cut to them now and then. Fun to watch!
I was happy that she kept us marching in place while she explained things. Sure I could march on my own when an instructor doesn't tell us to, but I'm lazy, so I'd rather be told to do it.
The bad things were minor: The DVD was really loud. The music was loud, so she had to nearly shout to be heard; I had to turn the sound lower on my TV than I ever had before.
And, as I mentioned, she moved a little fast. It was hard to see the new steps, to see how they were done, so even on the fifth time through I wasn't really doing them right... but even so, it was still fun to do!
So all in all, I'd recommend this DVD!
 Too SlowMar 18, 2010
I was very disappointed with this DVD. I liked the dance moves and the instructor well enough but you spend way too much time learning the moves and marching in place to get a halfway decent workout out of it. The music also got very monotonous, just having the drums. If you're just starting out exercising and like to dance than this might be a good workout for you, but for someone at an intermediate/advanced level, this will not get your heart rate up or make you sweat.
 Fun, fun, fun!Feb 02, 2010
I liked many things about this video:
The instructor, who was fun without being annoying, broke down each of the moves well, and increased the tempo at a reasonable rate.
The moves were super fun, and combined together well into a fluid combination sequence.
I was sweating without feeling like I would pass out.
I like how the teacher invited the students to demonstrate the moves, rather than making the video all about her.
The length of the workout was just right.
The live drumming was fantastic.
The scenery was beautiful.
Highly recommend!
good workoutDec 13, 2009
I think Vanessa is a very good instructor and her workouts are very easy for someone just starting out like me. Just before you get to the "cant do it anymore" stage, she stops and goes onto to something easier for a few minutes. The workout makes you sweat too!! very good just under an hour... but recommend this dvd workout. p.s. just watch the region code in your player thats all.

So much fun!May 05, 2009
I LOVE this DVD! It is great fun, and a good workout. I appreciate the way they break each section down at a slower tempo so you can see exactly what they're doing. The instructor is energetic and bubbly without being so peppy that it makes you sick first thing in the morning. The only complaint I could have is that I wish there were a specific section where they DIDN'T break the moves down, so you could just go through the dance a few times once you know it. Obviously this was not bothersome enough for me to dock it in stars, though.
