Both of these (this and Cardio Dance Party) are set up the same way,
and use the same set. the only
difference is the length, the instructor
and the moves used in each. each
workout is chaptered by routine and
each has a short blast workout that
takes moves from the previous routines
and makes a new sequence done at
tempo 3. these are very fun workouts
that are probably best suited for
intermediates or high beginners who
want to try something dancey but think
they have 2 left feet. The routines are
done on carpet, unlike many dance
workouts. You learn several different
routines in each workout, learning a
combo at a slower tempo, then take it
up to tempo 2 and finally up to tempo
3. As you lean more steps, the new
combo is added to what you've already
learned at tempo 3. Within each
routine, there is some TFTTing, but
once you finish the routine and move
onto a new the previous one doesn't
come back. the cueing is good and
there is a nice variety of moves and fun
music. An ambitious beginner, tired of
program with few steps, might find
these doable. Jules and Lydia are lots of
fun- and I've had a good time trying to
get back to exercise after surgery with
these. While they're not intense, they
are fun workouts that make dance
accessible to people who thought dance
workouts would be too complicated.
Instructor comments:
Lydia and Jules have very similar styles
here. Both are perky (without being
annoying), cute, energetic and friendly.
They cue well and keep the routines
moving along and encourage well.
