Dancing With the Stars - Cardio Dance
Date undefinedDancing 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!

Date undefinedIf 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.

Date undefinedYes, at first the DVD is tricky to follow. Maxim starts out pretty basic and easy to follow with the Paso Doble. Next is Ashley and she introduces a little more difficulty with the Cha-Cha, and so on. But, I found that if I just did what I could I eventually started learning the routines through repetition. You will still break out in a sweat even if you're just trying to learn the moves (you don't have to have perfect execution to lose weight). If you're getting frustrated, then you're taking this way too seriously. Loosen up, try your best, and have fun; the accuracy will eventually occur - and when it does you really feel like you've accomplished something big. I am a complete two-left footed klutz and can get through the dances pretty well. This is one of the few workout routines I enjoy.
