I have own other dance video that were to hard to flow. I have to say that Madonna dose seem to take it slow and breaks down the moves. The dance is broking down in 8 counts, but the one thing MaDonna dosen’t do is break down the count for you. Also I did found that near the end of the dance routine she seem to speed thing up. If you don’t mine rewinding to lean the last two 8 count, then you should be fine.

i bought this thinking that this would be fun and a decent workout, i tried it a few times but just couldnt get in to it. it go’s a bit fast but i know i could get used to it, but they have very big steps and they lung into it and i think it would be better if they work up to it i kept finding myself rewinding it to do the step corretly i dont realy strive for perfection i just want to do it some what right. there are better ones out there than this, but i think i am going to try it again cuz it wasnt so bad that i am going to quit it.

This is a generally inoffensive DVD. The music is rather bland for “urban” dancing (I was expecting something rap/hiphop-ish). The background dancers wouldn’t make the most rural midwestern farmer glance twice at them. Everything was just kind of… nice. Bland. Okay.
As others have said, this really isn’t for beginners. The instructor moves fast and introduces many many moves and steps. I was totally lost and ended up just randomly jumping/stepping around to keep my heartrate up while peering at the screen, trying to figure out what I was supposed to be doing.
If I could, I’d give it another half-star. It’s not a horrible exercise DVD, but there are tons better.

Bought this for my 16 year old daughter who wanted to learn dance moves while exercising. We have fun doing it together.

I mean, she is pretty hot so that’s cool, but don’t expect much of a workout or much of a dance lesson!
I would save your money and just get a REAL dance instructional where you can learn to dance on your own and then THAT will be your workout!
The best ones I have found are How To Do The Robot – Breakdance Instructional DVD or Top 20 Breakdance Moves. These are the cream of the crop!
Good luck!
