I've just previewed the DVD. The quality of the DVD is quite good except it could be brighter.
PROS:
1) choices of workout
2) repetition for viewers to follow
3) music is upbeat
4) the instructor is enthusiastic, pleasant and good with her moves
CONS:
1) the steps are fast for non dancers like myself--could have shown the steps mroe slowly for the first time so viewers can practise before starting with music
2) only one instructor seemed quite boring--a few more people would be nice
3) no warm up or cool down before and after quite an intensive workout
Overall I like the DVD and am looking forward to using it in addition to the Leslie Sansone workout DVDs. This could be more fun and variety than Leslie's but kind of harder for me to follow. It's worthed a try for people who want a change from regular workouts.
I will use this video even though it is less of a workout and more of a dance routine so please don't lose your count because you may become very discourage or better yet land on the floor. Ms. Sandavol seems to be all over the place. Once you get the cha-cha, she is on to the merenque, and the music doesn't help because it is electronic latin music - something you would never hear at the club. Anyway, keep your eyes open. After I learn these routines, you may see me on one of these dance reality shows.
