Paula Abdul's fans will really have fun with this 45-minute, high-energy dance workout. Even the warm-up is energetic and jazzy. Abdul teaches two dance routines. She introduces a 16-count pattern slowed down, then speeds it up until you're up to tempo, adding on until you've got a routine. Don't expect teaching expertise from Abdul--she cues the moves, but never explains how to do what she's demonstrating. Just watch and follow. You may need to pause this video a lot at first to learn the moves--she doesn't repeat the slowed-down moves enough to catch them--but after you get them, it becomes pure fun. She is assisted by two of her tour dancers and a crowded class of what she calls "ordinary people," though they're mostly young, good-looking, and very fit. The production is colorful and flashy. The constantly changing camera angles are distracting and sometimes annoying, because they hinder you from watching the feet to learn the moves. You'll enjoy the playful cool-down to Village People's "YMCA," led by the males in the class. An abdominal segment and stretches finish the workout. Coordination and rhythm required. --Joan Price

 terrible camera work January 21, 2008

Not easy by any means, which is not necessarily a bad thing, since at least for me, a challenge keeps me coming back for more. BUT! This video is much more frustrating than it has to be because of the poor camera work. Throughout the video, the camera keeps cutting between shots above her waist, shots from above and far away, shots of her students from funny angles, and shots even of her on what seems to be a monitor tv of some sort. AHHH!! Especially when she is teaching a step and all you want to do is just watch her feet transition from one move to the next, the camera keeps shifting just to confuse you some more.
I'm definitely not coming back to this one.
 If you like to dance then you will love this dvd! January 2, 2008

If you are really motivated about losing weight, getting a great work out, and hving fun while doing it this tape is for you. YOU WILL SWEAT AND YOU WILL DEFINITELY FEEL THE BURN!!! I had the VHS for a long time and since I do not own a VCR anymore upgraded to the dvd. It's great! Paula does slow it way down so you can get the steps but does not show the feet in detail. Anyone with basic rhythm, coordination and balance can do this tape! As my dance teacher used to say, Practice Makes Perfect!!! I recommend doing this tape at least 2 times a week starting out and then building up to 3-5 times depending on your motivation to work out! I hope you enjoy this DVD as much as I have and am still having!
LOVE IT!!!!!! Glad I found it on DVD!!! November 14, 2007

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS WORKOUT AND HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR IT EVER SINCE I LENT IT TO MY SISTER AND NEVER RECEIVED IT BACK... AN INTENSE ROUTINE THAT IS FUN! IF YOU ARE SLOW TO BEGIN WORKING OUT BUT LOVE TO DANCE YOU WILL ENJOY THIS EXCERCISE... IT DOESNT EVEN FEEL LIKE EXCERCISE BUT YOU WILL DEFINITELY NOTICE A DIFFERENCE! I GIVE THIS 5 STARS JUST FOR THE MOTIVATION IF THE ROUTINE AND HOW PAULA EXPRESSES THAT YOU DO WHAT YOU CAN, CUZ ITS A VIDEO... NOBODY CAN SEE OR JUDGE YOU! INSPIRING!
 Not for Begginers November 13, 2007

I thought... hey lets give this a try.. I had never worked out at all ever and was needing to do something after the baby was about a year to help loose weight!
If this fits u..try the belly bance for begginers.. slower paced way better!
Very disappointing :-( July 27, 2007

I really wanted to enjoy this video, but I hate the way it was shot. It's very important to be able to follow the routine. However the camera was all over the place. Also, there were too many people behind Paula. It was a big disappointment because I wanted to find new exercise routines that incorporated dance. I like Paula and really hoped this video would be worth buying. Luckily I'm smart enough to check things out of the library before purchasing anything.
