Medium Impact Workout- This is a slightly more challenging workout at a quicker pace then the low impact workout. The 30 minute program is a great cardio workout to tone butt, abs, legs and arms. Dances of focus are Cha Cha, Samba, and Jive.

High Impact Workout- A challenging cardio workout for the fitness minded. This program will push you physically with plyometric exercises morphed into dance form. It is ideal for developing quick feet and explosive core. The ares of focus are butt, legs, abs, and arms. Dances include Samba and Jive. Length is 30 minutes.

Testimonial

Not Very Instructional, February 18, 2008

By Liz

Though beautiful to watch, this DVD is NOT for beginners and not for people who just want to learn to dance socially. It's obvious it was produced more to piggyback on the succes of "Dancing with the Stars" than to help anyone learn to dance. There seems to be no thought at all put into making the instruction accessible to the home viewer.

Despite being divided into sections labeled "Beginner", "Intermediate", and "Advanced", there's no real attempt to modify the instuction for beginners. Basically, the pros demonstrate a step one time slowly, then a couple of times quickly to music, then it's on to the next step. Besides the pace being rather fast, all the dancers are facing the camera, so you either have to try to dance the opposite direction of the dancers on TV or turn your back and try to follow as you're looking over your shoulder, both of which are hard to do. Alec often wears flowing pants that cover his shoes and Edyta wears big ankle warmers, which makes it hard to discern what they're feet are doing. At times the camera moves back and forth continuously as the pros are dancing, which is makes it hard to follow them.

There's little to no explanation of technique or terminology, and what little there is is not very helpful. For example, in the Beginner section of the Cha Cha, Edyta gives a vague instruction to "make sure you're bending and straightening your knees" without saying exactly when or how, and as she's giving this instruction, the camera is only showing her upper body. Dance steps and terms are called out as if the audience already knows what they are. Sometimes they're explained, sometimes they're not.

If you have some experience as a ballroom dancer and are interested in competitive ballroom dancing you might be able to glean some useful information from this DVD, but for most people this DVD will just be frustrating.
