 GREAT DVD April 13, 2010
T. Ortiz (Autryville, NC)
THE DANCE MOVES IN THIS DVD ARE NOT HARD TO FOLLOW. I LIKE THIS WORKOUT. ITS FUN TO DO BOOTCAMP 1 WEEK AND THEN DANCE ANOTHER WEEK. THE PILATES SEGMENT IS ALSO REALLY GOOD. BOTH WORKOUTS ARE ABOUT 20 MINUTES LONG WHICH I LOVE! YOU GET A GOOD WORKOUT AND IT DOESN'T TAKE FOREVER!
 It doesn't really get your heart rate up. March 21, 2010

I really like Denise Austin but I'm afraid this dance workout is just paced way too slow and doesnt' really get your heart pumping. I've tried going a little faster than her to get my heart rate up but.. And its something about the footwork in the last dance that is just off. I do a lot of Zumba and Core Rythms and they really get your heart rate up and this just doesn't. But if you're a beginner and not really looking for a high impact workout this may be for you. Just a little too slow for me.
Skip the cardio dance, do the pilates March 19, 2010
Jayme F. Hughes (Ohio, USA)
I've been doing Zumba for about three years, so I thought a different kind of dance workout would be a fun way to mix it up. But the "dance" workout on this DVD is just different moves awkwardly mashed together. I did not find this section to be much of a workout at all; it was easy, not very dance-y, and sort of boring. (I didn't find it hard to follow the cues, like some other reviewers have said, but that again could be because I'm used to doing dance-like workouts and I'm able to pick up on moves much more quickly now than I was able to when I first started doing Zumba.)
The shorter Pilates workouts, one with lights weights and focusing on arms and the other on the floor and focusing on abs/core, were much better. I haven't done much Pilates, and I found it easy to follow and just enough of a challenge; it combined moves I've done in other classes or on my own with moves I hadn't done before.
In sum, if you go for this DVD, skip the cardio dance section and do the two Pilates workouts instead.
 Not so good for diving back in February 14, 2010
Catherine Burch (Tulsa, OK)
I've done a couple of other videos before and after having to sit out a while due to various things, I picked this up because it looked like something I could do, have fun with, and get some exercise. Not so much. As some of the other reviewers stated, the steps are called out right before she switches to them and they are not demonstrated. If you have a background in dance (like maybe you were drill team or a cheerleader) then you will probably breeze through this, catching on quickly and really enjoy it. For the coordination challenged, look elsewhere. I may try the Biggest Loser video I've got, or I may go back to Kathy Ireland - I can actually follow those. And I KNOW you want something that's challenging - if it's too easy it's not a real workout, right? But I need something I can actually DO, rather than marching in place trying to figure out what the heck is going on.....
(Next day: not good for bad knees either!)
great workout January 7, 2010
Jazz Fan (KY USA)
I am hesitant to buy Denise Austin DVD's because of how people review she doesn't cue right. This is my 5th purchase of her workouts and it's great. I think the dance part is cued wonderfully. She just repeats the steps over and over to make it easy to learn. I'm new to Pilates but the workout definitely made me sore. I consider myself an intermediate exerciser for aerobics and this is a great workout for my fitness level.
