Customer Rating:      Summary: Dance routine/light workout for beginners only Comment: Everyone wrote great reviews. This is an hour & 15 min workout dvd set in a gym with 4 girls & 1 guy behind D. The music is a basic beat & not inspiring & makes it more boring. The screen flashs the name of the move each time.
D's relaxed & friendly, but moves VERY unenthusiastically which isn't an inspiration. She gives good cues, not just counts to help you remember which is great.
What bothered me was the camera work. It moves all around, crazy, zooming here & there with no plan. Sometimes as well the video will be split into 2 or 3 windows which made it hard for me to focus on only one dancer or whoever is showing the most enthusiasm at the time. Since D moves lazilly a bit, I try to focus on the guy since he showed the most enjoyment & really gets into the moves to make them look as good as they are & maybe 1 or 2 other girls.
Warm-up - 6 min
Fast paced, many stretches for knees, hips, shoulders, torso
Part 1 - 28 min
She repeats all new moves about 10x & then the routine as much as you learned each time another 10x. She doesn't go 1/2 speed or break it down, but since the moves are very easy, this isn't a problem to follow... except the damn crazy camera moving making you almost seasick.
Part 2 - Aerobics - 30 min
This part she at first still repeats 10x then as she goes on repeats it less. The moves here are better, actually some cool, but I still try to focus on the guy & backup girls & the camera is still killing me.
Abs - 10 min
On the mat, basic crunches, sit ups, toe reaches, etc.
If it wasn't for the camera work, I'd give this 4 stars for the aerobics section. I love repetition since that helps with muscle memory, but 10x is excessive. I'd be happy with 4-6x even with complex moves.
This is only for those looking for a light aerobic workout & loves repetition even with crazy cameras.

Customer Rating:      Summary: Don't waste your money on this one Comment: D is supposed to be a great choreographer and energetic leader? Where was she? The instructor on this DVD had low energy, and her moves are unbelievably bad. The camerawork was not great either, we need to see what the feet are doing at the same time we see what the upper body is doing. UGH!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Not a well made DVD Comment: This workout is difficult to follow, and the filming itself is amatuer and poorly done. It is difficult to follow the moves, has excessive repetition while teaching it and doesn't really give a very good workout. I do NOT reccommend.
Customer Rating:      Summary: And I'm supposed to repeat this for how long? Comment: I found this video challenging...the first time i did it. Then it just got repetitive. While you do breakm a sweat, she only teaches you eight moves and the background music is not fly. They seem to repeat moves over and over and then surprise: its over. If I hadn't paid so little for it I would want my money back.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great variety compared to other hip hop videos Comment: Surprised at workout- great variety compared to other hip hop workout videos: a nice change with some new moves for even a seasoned workout video watcher. Felt like I didn't have to add any more after the workout. Great supplement to another dance routine for toning.

D is the queen of dance and the guru of fitness. No dvd in the market has combined an aerobic formatted hip-hop class, the hottest nyc club moves, and a 10 minute fat burning abdominal workout that makes you look great and feel hot on the dancefloor! Ds
