Its been a while since I traded this, but I enjoyed Greg's Hi/Lo, the biggest problem with it is that it took up too much room, even with the furniture moved. The second section where he uses the 4 inch step to do circuit training, was too short to be really effective.

The step section by Stella something something, was enjoyable, and I thought a fun routine. As everyone else has pointed out, she takes too long to teach the moves, and you don't learn much for the 20 or 25 minutes the routine takes.

The last hi/lo section LOOKED real fun. However, there was almost no cueing, as though we all already knew the routine. I'm not one to learn a routine, I don't have enough brain cells to spend many on exercise, so I count on cueing. I don't mind learning a combo or move, but not a whole routine. From what I've read in other reviews, I'm not the only one who feels this way. The lack of cueing pretty much ruins this section.

Overall, if you like hi/lo, this tape is worth getting from the exchange, doing it for a few months and then passing on.

Instructor Comments:
Greg is a good instructor, good cueing, fun choreography. Stella was OK, and the last instructor whose name I can't recall did not cue the routine at all.
