Customer Rating:      Summary: Back in the Saddle Comment: This video is a great first experiance at Aerobic dance. it can be a short work out of 10 minute or a 40 minute workout great for beginners. I highly recommend this DVD I have been unable to do any exercize for 4 years because of heatlh problems and now have lost 5 lbs and 1 and 1/2 inches. If you need something to get you "BACK IN THE SADDLE" Choose this one.
Customer Rating:      Summary: good sweat video Comment: I have Jennifer's Prevention DVD and this tape. I do the Prevention first followed by this one and I love it. I like to match execise tapes together so I'm looking for another match for Prevention. I love the way she instructs as you always know where you're going next. Great tape! Looking forward to seeing more from her. Carolyn Obrecht
Customer Rating:      Summary: fat burning? dance video? Comment: I didn't even sweat, I bought this dvd thinking I was going to burn some calories, but nothing. As an instrutional dance video it was ridiculous (basic steps from the 80's). There's a salsa section OMG, that's is not salsa, not cha cha, of beat totally!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Low intensity, silly moves Comment: I have several Crunch videos and this is my least favorite.
The moves are simplistic, and frankly, silly. I saw one reviewer describe the choreography as "cheesy" and I would have to agree. I saw several reviewers say the moves were too "dancy" but the DVD is called "Fat Burning DANCE Party". I'm an intermediate excercisor, and I don't find the moves hard to follow, but I had to do the DVD a few times to nail all the moves. There are 2 dances for each themed segment: "Salsa Party", "Party Funk" and "Retro Dance Party". A big problem I have with the DVD is that in each dance segment, there is usually the same basic steps for the feet, with perhaps slight changes in the arm movements, or in the direction of the feet movement, which makes the dances boring. Each dance is short, and the DVD moves along quickly. The moves are just so inane that I dislike doing the dances. Additionally, I have bad knees, and some of the moves are hard on my knees. In several places, the instructor doesn't mirror correctly; she instructs you to lead with your right leg, but if you were to lead with your right leg, you wouldn't mirror the dancers. Cueing in the rest of the DVD is good. The instructor also keeps calling the first 2 dances "Fiestas" when the dances are titled "Salsa Party". Of course, this is just semantics, but it shows the attitude the instructor takes overall. I don't think it's a good cardio work out at all. As usual, I find the Crunch dancers annoying, but I give Crunch credit for picking dancers of various racial backgrounds. If you really like workouts that include lots of dance moves, and don't mind doing silly choreography, you might enjoy this DVD.
Customer Rating:      Summary: eh... Comment: I didn't really like this one that much. They move to fast and I felt ridiculous doing it.
