 I feel like I'm part of the show. It's well worth the money. It's so much fun September 14, 2008

If you really love to dance and have a natural sense of rhthym this dvd is great for you. I wouldn't recommend this to someone who isn't comfortable dancing in a crowd because ballroom dancing is a bit dramatic and takes some coordination.
It's so much fun that I look forward to doing this video everyday. It literally helps me to get out of bed. I love that I'm exercising and learning these dance steps. I've lost 6 lbs and feel youthful and energetic after two weeks of dancing everyday. The Jive is a real burner and a bit hard to pick up all the moves because it's so fast paced. The other dances are much easier to get. I'm so thrilled to own this dvd. It is so worth the $9.99. One dance class would cost that. I can do this dvd over and over and learn something new every time. I still haven't gotten a few of the harder dance steps. That's okay because it gives me something to look forward to.
I gave four stars instead of 5 because, although I love Maksim and Kim, I find Ashley's voice extremely annoying and high pitched. I don't know why the producers picked her for this dvd. She also says "back" when she's going forward and vice versa. I feel like she just wants to hear herself talk and sounds really stupid. I've learned to ignore her voice. Also, the camera doesn't always show feet or legs and I hate that. The improv section is also really disorganized and hard to follow. That being said, I love this video. It makes me happy. I highly recommend it.
 Great workout!!! September 7, 2008

This was by far the BEST cardio dance workout I have ever done!!! It was energizing and I broke quite a sweat!!! Beware beginners though...it is fast paced and it could be difficult for you to keep up with the steps. I LOVE IT!!!!
Great for an experienced dancer August 30, 2008

Most of the people who wrote that this video does not provide very much instruction and its not for the beginner are correct. For me, that was a good thing. I have studied modern, jazz, and middle eastern(belly dance). I think that anyone who has had SOME kind of dance training will be able to follow along, given some practice and patience.
If you are considering taking up ballroom dancing, then this video is a good primer because it will keep you light on your feet and you will see really good form, especially by Maks. Ashly is a doll, and her speed and agility are amazing. I think that if you are a beginner ballroom dancer and you are dedicated to learning, then this video will quickly get you to intermeadate level because it trains you for speed and pacing.
The music is pretty generic however, thats why Im only giving it four stars.
Once again Cheers for Ashly! she's great!
 dance moves August 29, 2008
T. Lewis (Erie, PA USA)
Video is good, but it goes through the moves very quickly so it takes a few watchings to figure it out...it takes lots of practice to be able to do a routine from begining to end!!
Absolutely fantastic dance workout DVD August 16, 2008
Laura De Giorgio (Canada)
This DVD contains workout and dance steps for 4 dances - cha cha, samba, paso doble, and jive. I've learned more cha cha moves from this DVD than from the dance classes that I was taking. Between working with this DVD and 2 - 3 hour dance sessions in the past 3 days, I shed 5 pounds already. The DVD works amazingly well for me.
